At once an adroit art historical study and a poetic travelogue, this literary tribute to British artist Sarah Lucas, known for her works employing visual puns and ribald humour, comprises American poet and critic Quinn Latimer’s strange, elliptical account of an exhibition and body of work by the artist that Latimer has never seen, created and installed in a city she had not yet visited. In four interconnected essays, the writer explores shame, passivity, palindromes and fertility statuary, along with myriad impressions, objects, personages (Antonin Artaud, Susan Sontag, Mary Wollstonecraft) and histories relevant to Lucas’s 2012 ‘NUDs’ exhibition in Mexico City.
