In the last twenty years, Halaby has expanded her practice to larger, more ambitious paintings and canvas-based assemblages. As an early practitioner of digital art, she taught herself programming languages and generated \"kinetic paintings\" of colorful shapes, sounds, and textures on a late 1980s Amiga computer. Throughout the 1990s, she developed a custom PC program that can generate moving shapes with live keyboard commands. These kinetic paintings and performances, which Halaby has archived as digital video files, have been little studied and not yet exhibited. \u003ci\u003eSamia Halaby: Centers of Energy\u003c\/i\u003e will bring together approximately thirty-five of Halaby's paintings, prints, and drawings in the first-ever American survey of her work, and features Halaby's writing about her artistic practice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElliot Josephine Leila Reichert \u003c\/b\u003ejoined the Eskenazi Museum of Art as its first curator of contemporary art in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 11.1 x 9.21 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42153509847175,"sku":"9783777442686","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/b155e085787f65454d1c309bd2d6f936.webp?v=1733222155","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/samia-halaby-centers-of-energy-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
