Beth Lipman: Collective Elegy
Exhibition catalogue authored, edited, and project managed by Samantha De Tillio. Published by the Museum of Arts and Design and Lucia | Marquand (forthcoming January 2021).
BUY NOW
For twenty years, Beth Lipman has created cross-disciplinary artworks that use history, art, and material culture as a lens through which to examine Western society’s predilection for capitalist pursuits, including excess consumption, consolidation of wealth and power, and human dominance over the natural environment. Recently, Lipman has turned her attention to the subjectivity of history and its written record. Time, mortality, and loss also lie at the core of Lipman’s practice. Taken together, Lipman’s oeuvre constitutes a clarion call for a critical consideration of contemporary Western society and its values. This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Beth Lipman: Collective Elegy, the first major scholarly assessment of Lipman’s boundary-pushing practice, held at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.

Burke Prize 2019
Exhibition catalogue edited by Samantha
De Tillio and Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy published by the Museum of Arts and Design in association with the exhibition Burke Prize 2019 (2019).
Burke Prize 2019 will feature a selection of works by the winner and finalists of the prize, whose emergent voices are pushing the field forward in dynamic ways and providing a glimpse into the expansive future of contemporary craft. Although each artist’s practice is grounded in one of the core materials of the studio craft movement—glass, fiber, clay, metal, or wood—in today’s interdisciplinary environment they are expanding the field.

Introduction to Glassworks
I was commissioned to write the introduction for the artist-monograph, Glassworks, a forthcoming publication by The Artist Book Foundation and Arthouse 18.

When Joseph Baldassare approached me to write an introduction for the book he was producing on the work of Frederick Birkhill, who has spent over forty years working in glass, as a maker, educator, writer, and lecturer, I was glad to oblige. When I spoke with Birkhill it was clear that this project was a source of excitement, the unveiling of a body of work that has been kept very close to the vest by the artist, now comprehensively presented for the first time.
