{"product_id":"devotion-isbn-9780262048798","title":"Devotion","description":"\u003cb\u003eA beautifully illustrated book-length publication on the contemporary artist and Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Garrett Bradley, whose quietly devastating work blurs the space between fact and fiction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGarrett Bradley works across narrative, documentary, and experimental modes of filmmaking to address themes such as race, class, familial relationships, social justice, and cultural histories in the United States. Her collaborative and research-based approach to filmmaking is often inspired by the real-life stories of her protagonists. This book explores Bradley’s work through the lens of devotion and features conversations with the artist and contributions from the likes of Ashley Clark, Arthur Jafa, Joy James, Tyler Mitchell, Kevin Quashie, and Claudia Rankine. This is the first volume in a new series of readers copublished with Lisson Gallery entitled \u003ci\u003eRe:\u003c\/i\u003e, which will respond to a number of its artists and themes past and present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdopting archival material alongside newly shot footage, Bradley’s films exist simultaneously in the past, present, and future, not only disrupting our perception of time, but also breaking down our preconceived ideas about objectivity, perspective, and truth-telling. These narratives unfold naturally in both feature-length and short form, revealing a multitude of individual and collective stories. The social, economic, and racial politics of everyday life—its joys, pleasures, and pains—are lyrically and intimately rendered on screen.Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9 Introduction, Ossian Ward\u003cbr\u003e13 Filmography: 2001-22, Garret Bradley\u003cbr\u003e128 Back to Black: Lime Kiln Club Field Day, Ashley Clark\u003cbr\u003e138 In a (Not So) Silent Way: Listening Past Black Visuality in Symbiopsychotaxiplasm, Charles P Linscott\u003cbr\u003e162 The Art of Nonfiction No. 1, Joan Didion in conversation with Hilton Als\u003cbr\u003e186 Citizen: An American Lyric, Claudia Rankine\u003cbr\u003e196 Garrett Bradley in conversation with Huey Copeland\u003cbr\u003e210 Godmother’s Rules, Valerie Boyd\u003cbr\u003e228 Color Struck, A Play in Four Scenes, Zora Neale Hurston\u003cbr\u003e240 Rest Notes: On Black Sleep Aesthetics, Josie Roland Hudson\u003cbr\u003e260 Garrett Bradley in conversation with Tyler Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e270 Trauma, Time Theft, and the Captive Maternal, Joy James\u003cbr\u003e280 Time in the Mind, Doreen St. Felix\u003cbr\u003e288 Garrett Bradley in conversation with Suzanne McClelland\u003cbr\u003e300 Glitch Ghosts, Legacy Russell\u003cbr\u003e306 Garrett Bradley in conversation with Linda Goode Bryant and Arthur Jafa\u003cbr\u003e318 Killer of Sheep, Jeffrey Skoller\u003cbr\u003e332 The Capacities of Waiting, Kevin Quashie\u003cbr\u003e352 Garrett Bradley in conversation with Alexandra Bell\u003cbr\u003e366 Filmography credits\u003cbr\u003e368 Image credits\u003cbr\u003e370 Text credits\u003cbr\u003e371 Contributor biographiesGarrett Bradley is an artist and filmmaker.
