A Series of Open Questions
Each book in the series takes the work of a single artist as its point of departure, spiraling outward to create an expansive and carefully edited ecosystem of ideas and voices. Each volume includes newly commissioned writing as well a selection of perspectives, images, and references related to the year-long research seasons at CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts.

Why are they so afraid of the lotus?
(A Series of Open Questions, vol. 2)

What does the promise of “speaking nearby” rather than “speaking about” look like today? What are the politics of hospitality? What are the problematics of “postfeminism,” and how do we challenge the West as the authoritative subject of feminist knowledge? What are the ways that language can be a site of rupture? How do we generate mistrust in the “well-written,” and how can poetry be a radical act of refusal?

Where are the tiny revolts?
(A Series of Open Questions, vol. 1)

Driven by the central question “What are we learning from artists today?” the first volume of the new series edited by Anthony Huberman and Jeanne Gerrity at the CCA Wattis, A Series of Open Questions, is informed by themes found in the work of Dodie Bellamy, such as contemporary forms of feminism and sexuality, the rebirth of the author, and ways in which vulnerability, perversion, vulgarity, and self-exposure can be forms of empowerment.
