Cheryl Johnson-Odim & Rashid Johnson: Heart-Turned-Inside-Out Poems

Sale price$45.00

Poems by Cheryl Johnson-Odim, Rashid Johnson’s mother, are accompanied here by a selection of Johnson’s drawings and a far-ranging conversation between mother and son. The book is based on an updated version of Johnson-Odim’s ‘Other Women Before Me’—first published in 1985, the year Rashid turned eight years old. In 2022, Johnson presented the stapled pamphlet—along with titles by the likes of Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Claudia Rankine and Sylvia Plath—in a reading area accompanying his exhibition ‘Sodade’ at Hauser & Wirth Menorca, where the artwork featured on the cover of this publication was also on view.

By Cheryl Johnson-Odim

The Artist

RASHID JOHNSON

Born in Chicago in 1977, Rashid Johnson is among an influential cadre of contemporary American artists whose work employs a wide range of media to explore themes of art history, individual and shared cultural identities, personal narratives, literature, philosophy, materiality, and critical history. After studying in the photography department of the Art Institute of Chicago, Johnson’s practice quickly expanded to embrace a wide range of media – including sculpture, painting, drawing, filmmaking, and installation ­– yielding a complex multidisciplinary practice that incorporates diverse materials rich with symbolism and personal history.
