"If you're like us, you want to cuddle up with Paola
Pivi's pink polar bear sculptures or dive into one of
Ryan McGinley's hazy daydreams. Our initial response to
artwork is often sensual rather than intellectual. Gut reactions to
these furry, squishy and plush pieces are at the heart
of Feelings: Soft Art. From original photographs by Petra
Collins to sculptures by Claes Oldenburg -- the tome features
soft works that span movements, periods, and media.
Titans of contemporary art like John Baldessari share space
with emerging talents like Jack Greer of the buzzy collective Still
House Group. Feelings also forged some exciting
collaborations, including a studio session in which Dev Hynes and
painter Alice Lancaster produced three new songs and accompanying
artworks. . . In addition to these unexpected
partnerships and pieces, the scrapbook-cum-diary also includes
written emotional responses from a diverse range of viewers as they
encounter contemporary art."
