Outside the palace of me

About this book

"This book is based on the four-city museum exhibition Outside the Palace of Me, featuring the works of internationally renowned Canadian multidisciplinary artist Shary Boyle. This publication is a powerful look at identity and what it means to live in 2021. Boyle's work explores all aspects of self-conceptualization, including race, gender, and social media that has seduced us into performing our personal experiences and sculpting our identities for a disembodied audience. Using art to dive deep into societal strife and to shine a light on injustice, Boyle offers a powerful commentary on the role of the Artist to explore narratives of helplessness, escapism, transformation, and hope."--
