Part-reader, part-monograph, part-visual essay, She Moves Me: Performance, Moving Image, and Lynne Marsh’s Lens enacts a curatorial logic: focusing on movement and experience, it enlists the book as site/context to present exciting juxtapositions of works and ideas inspired by the practice of Los Angeles-based Canadian artist Lynne Marsh. The publication draws the shifting, elusive contours of installation, moving-image, and performance productions in recent art by sequencing textual and visual interventions that circle around, run through, and expand the conceptual, historical, and material concerns that course through Marsh’s work.

Edited by Sylvie Fortin, the book is as speculative as it is lucidly of the present. Fully aware of the complex histories we share and the crossroad we sense, it nevertheless dares to open itself to a future fully unknown. In the process, it reconsiders Marsh’s committed practice—25 years of ambitious projects—in the present. She Moves Me: Performance, Moving Image, and Lynne Marsh’s Lens constellates probing texts by Sabeth Buchmann, Nora N. Khan, Gean Moreno and Stephanie Wakefield, Rachael Rakes, and Marina Vishmith to articulate connections between artistic debt, the residual potential of gesture, rehearsal as artistic and social experiment, the criticality of infrastructure and infrastructural critique, collective labor and spatial expansion, the technological image, surveillance, and capitalist extraction, and much more.
