William Cordova: Spacial and Ideological Terrane

by William Cordova (Artist), Kate Green (Editor), Candice Hopkins (Contributor)

Taking William Cordova's (born 1971) exhibition spatial and ideological terrain at Marfa Contemporary as a point of departure, this publication highlights the way the artist (who was born in Lima and is based in Miami) layers referents and histories across cultures. Bringing together a constellation of Cordova's artworks in a wide variety of medium―sculptures, collages, Polaroids, a video, objects around town, a free newspaper and a website―in which Pre-Columbian traditions, modern art and architecture, and spiritualism overlap, the exhibition stages these objects in the fitting home of Marfa, a town equally known for Native American history, minimalism and star-gazing. This book includes references to all stepped pyramid patterns, geometric concrete forms and symbols of the cosmos.
