ENRIQUE MARTINEZ CELAYA

Sea, Sky, Land: Towards a Map of Everything brings together a selection of paintings and sculptures by world renowned artist Enrique Martínez Celaya, from 2005 to the present. Following his installation of Schneebett at the Berliner Philharmonie in 2004, Martínez Celaya’s work has undergone significant transformation while remaining intellectually and emotionally ambitious, connecting art to philosophy, literature, and science. This book, a companion to the exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles, shows Martínez Celaya’s work of the last seventeen years as an artistic, poetic, and intellectual mapping of an existential landscape the artist crosses in a search for meaning. Sea, Sky, Land: Towards a Map of Everything, co-edited in collaboration with the artist, includes over 120 illustrations; an introduction by Selma Holo; essays by Susan M. Anderson, Alexander Nemerov, Elizabeth Prelinger, and Ed Schad; poetry by Mark Irwin and David St. John; and an interview with the artist."
