Isabel Lewis is an artist who creates multi-sensory experiences that collapse boundaries and center collective embodiment. Widely recognized for having expanded the field of contemporary art, Lewis refers to many of her works as “occasions”: immersive social gatherings that encompass choreography, performance, music, and discursive formats. Consistent with the artist’s interest in hosting, storytelling, and collaboration, An occasion to consider a book is an invitation to reflect on how a book might be performed in the world. It is Lewis’s first publication and marks the first time she conceptually addresses the physicality of the format, imbuing it with her expansive sense of the choreographic.
