Her goal is to seduce and be seduced in the midst of her art. Its combination of soft-core pornography, nomadic mobility, and art easily grasped by the public touches on the chief stereotypes of the art market of the \u0026lsquo;90s. \u003cem\u003eHeartways \u003c/em\u003eis the turgid, winsome tale of Genny O, a youthful innocent who is fated to everlasting virginity. Despite all efforts to the contrary, each deflowering is her first time. With both drama and humor, we encounter Genny O as she tries to find what she is lacking in the arms of her artist object of desire. \u003cem\u003eHeartways \u003c/em\u003e is the brain child of internationally acclaimed artist Rita McBride. Emulating a novel, each chapter is written by a different contributor (John Baldessari, Erin Cosgrove, Douglas Coupland, Fabio, Michele Hierholzer, Rita McBride, Jennifer Nelson, Cate Rimmer, Joe Scanlan, Kimberly Sexton, Kathy Slade and Michael Turner), all of whom create romantic tableaux that simultaneously work within and outside literary conventions.

Each author was solicited with a letter of invitation to consider writing as Gina Ashcraft, the fictitious site specific installation artist. Each author was asked to write in the first person, begin and end each chapter with a coming and going of location, and to include sex.

To this end her work has three constants: an excess of content, multiple layers and access points to the content, and satire. The strategy is to create art that is pointed in its subject matter without being a bumper sticker. Cosgrove may use books, videos, drawings, paintings and installation in a single project. Multiple mediums can sustain a narrative playfully\u0026mdash;relaying meaning without being didactic or shallow. She hopes that her work is also a proposal for accessible artwork that is subversive and seductive.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://erincosgrove.com/ASR/bma.html\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://printedmatter.org/catalogue/search.cfm?search=Erin%20Cosgrove\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website 2\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","description":""},{"locale":"fr","description":""}]}]
