Working across media and disciplines––including writing, photography, performance, curating, installation, and video––O’Grady continued to challenge artistic and cultural conventions through her incisive critique of the binary logic inherent in Western thought. She skillfully deployed the diptych form to refute and subvert both the “either\/or” logic of Western philosophy and, by extension, the prevailing understanding around gender, race, and class. Over the course of her career, she advocated for an anti-hierarchical approach to difference that follows the reasoning of both\/and. From her earliest work, \u003ci\u003eCutting Out the New York Times \u003c\/i\u003e(1977), to more recent series like \u003ci\u003eFamily Portraits \u003c\/i\u003e(2020), O’Grady expanded the possibilities of conceptual art and institutional critique through her profound explorations of hybridism and multiplicity. And in writings such as “Olympia’s Maid: Reclaiming Black Female Subjectivity,” an influential essay of cultural criticism published in 1992, O’Grady continued to shape the theoretical contours of a body of work that has been groundbreaking in its charting of the emergence of Black subjectivity in both artistic modernism and Western modernity as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 0-578-41280-2 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fenrick Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48602676691169,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/3787\/4867\/files\/IMG_70123_42a4427d-d91a-4546-9c05-b85dd60b79bb.jpg?v=1783980398","url":"https:\/\/fenrickbooks.com\/products\/ogrady-lorraine-lorraine-ogrady-cutting-out-conyt-exhibition-catalog-2018","provider":"Fenrick Books LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
