Catalogue published in conjunction with Hayes's exhibition at the Whitney. Co-published with Yale University Press, with scholarship by Chrissie Iles, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Curator at the Whitney, placing Hayes's work in the history of political discourse and performance-based art. The book functions less as a traditional catalogue than as a document of Hayes's thinking: images selected by the artist—photographs, vinyl LP covers, fliers, documentation of her own work—paired with short text responses from roughly two dozen contributors. Writers, artists, and activists including Lauren Berlant, Claire Bishop, Andrea Geyer, Ralph Lemon, Holly Hughes, Iman Issa, and Malik Gaines, among others. The catalogue also addresses a group of site-specific works made for the Whitney that engaged the Museum's own history of process-based and politically engaged art from the late 1960s and early 1970s.
