Wexler's production can be broadly described as tactile poetry composed by re-framing the ordinary with the intention of sustaining a narrative about landscape, nature, and the built environment that highlights the intriguing and surprising characteristics latent in the elements and rituals that pervade daily life. His work demonstrates a commitment to re-evaluating basic assumptions about our relationship to the built and natural environments. Organized thematically across four categories--abstraction, landscape, private space, and public places--this publication is a richly illustrated cross section of Wexler's multi-scale, multi-media work, featuring his own writings, narratives, and reflections.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"How do the spaces we inhabit shape our daily rituals, and how does our behavior, in turn, help to inform the architecture of these spaces? These are the questions with which artist Allan Wexler has primarily grappled for the last few decades, endlessly creating projects that examine and restructure functional objects as well as routines that we may accept without question. Celebrating his individual vision is a new monograph recently put out by Lar Mullers Publishers, the first that takes us deep inside his constantly searching mind." <i> <p/>-Hyperallergic</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Ashley Simone</b> is a designer, educator, writer, and photographer based in New York City.</p>
