When Is Art Political?:
Suzanne McClelland and
Thierry De Duve

Artist Suzanne McClelland and philosopher Thierry De Duve are in conversation to celebrate the release of Suzanne McClelland: 36 x 24 x 36.  This publication assembles four distinct bodies of Suzanne’s work made between 2013 and 2015. Featuring thirty-five paintings on canvas and a collection of works on paper, the monograph explores the development of Suzanne’s practice in relation to her use of politically charged subject matter, language, statistics, and her own research process. Thierry contributes an extended meditation on the artist’s practice with close attention to a body of work displayed in Call With Information, on view at Team Gallery in New York. Through his analysis, he discusses the efficacy of political art and opens into a conversation with Suzanne on the power of images in our contemporary moment.
