Using layers of black watercolor pigment, she builds up delicate surfaces, producing subtle variations in density and a powerful sense of atmosphere. Otto-Knapp’s exhibition at the Renaissance Society, In the waiting room, presented a new group of large-scale free-standing paintings in that evokes a multidimensional stage set. Some depict silhouetted bodies while others introduce scenic elements reminiscent of painted backdrops.    Offering a close look at the exhibition, this volume includes an array of illustrations, a conversation between curator Solveig Øvstebø and the artist, and four newly commissioned essays by Carol Armstrong, Darby English, Rachel Hann, and Catriona MacLeod, grounded in art history and performance studies.","brand":"Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51485984882976,"sku":"9780941548816","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780941548816.jpg?v=1781398836","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/silke-ottoknapp-in-the-waiting-room-carol-armstrong-9780941548816","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
