This is the only monograph on the career of 2012 winner of the prestigious Sobey Art Award. Installation, performance and video are just some of the strategies the multidisciplinary artist employs; De Groot's practice is less defined by discipline than by the projects she organizes. Her vast undertakings have led her to the hearts of realities as diverse as religious communities, textile workers and the blind. Through multiple contacts with the individuals concerned and the exhaustive gathering of signs of their longstanding activity, she creates exhibitions that act as living testimony to worlds most of us barely know. Superbly illustrated, this monograph explores the 2012 Sobey Art Award-winning artists unique vision, and how she challenges the accepted ideas of what an artist should do and be.
