By the early 1970s, she became known both for her large-scale fabric sculptures--inspired by the lives of historical women--and her involvement in the feminist art movement. As the decade progressed, Mayer gravitated away from sculpture as a fixed form and the gallery as the primary setting for experiencing art. In 1977, she began to create ephemeral outdoor installations using materials such as balloons, snow, paper, and fabric. Mayer called these projects temporary monuments, and she intended for them to celebrate and memorialize individuals and communities through their connections to place, time, and nature. \u003ci\u003eTemporary Monuments: Work by Rosemary Mayer, 1977--1982\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive presentation of this body of work and includes Mayer's documentation of these impermanent artworks. Mayer created photographs, writings, artists' books, and drawings that expand the realm of these projects and reflect her interest in exploring ideas through a variety of media. An introductory essay by Gillian Sneed situates Mayer within the New York art world of the 1970s and '80s and argues that Mayer's public art anticipated more recent practices of site-specific and socially engaged art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-941738\"\u003eRosemary Mayer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soberscove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940190211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940190215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART016030\"\u003eIndividual Artists | Monographs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART062000\"\u003ePublic Art\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Soberscove Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51145235071263,"sku":"9781940190211","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/6953\/0143\/files\/img_b4baaf13-8b1f-43a3-8bc3-4c9be58a3987.jpg?v=1755711516","url":"https:\/\/www.mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/temporary-monuments-work-by-rosemary-mayer-1977-1982-9781940190211","provider":"MOCorrectionsbookstore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
