A selection of publications by American writer and artist Pati Hill (1921–2014), available on occasion of the exhibition “Pati Hill: My old fur coat doesn’t know me”, on view at Printed Matter June 29–October 28, 2023. The archival exhibition traces Hill’s work over 40 years, featuring some of her most emblematic projects from the early 1970s onward. With an emphasis on artists’ books and related working materials, the show puts on view original publications, mock-ups, manuscripts, and ephemera, much of which is being exhibited for the first time. The exhibition is curated by Baptiste Pinteaux, publisher of the Paris-based press Daisy and the art journal octopus notes. The exhibition is produced with the assistance of the Pati Hill Collection at Arcadia University (Glenside, Pa.) and gallery Air de Paris. The books in this table demonstrate Hill’s artistic practice involving text and image, as she explored how they might “fuse to become something other than either.” Across poetry, fiction, manifestos, and journal entries, Hill’s publications contemplate—often in her signature biting and dark humor—the qualities of “housewifeness”, the distinction between dreams and material life, her encounters with the photocopier, and ultimately grapple with the systems of power, dependency and status to which she belonged.
