Undoing Time: Art & Histories of Incarceration

How to unravel the scopic regimes that sustain the punitive system of U.S. prisons? How can artistic production shake them up? Published on the occasion of the group show Undoing Time Project: Art and Histories of Incarceration, held at the Arizona State University Art Museum, this catalog and traveling exhibition is an exercise in tracking, recovering, and analyzing different voices that confront the horizons of meaning that sustain the penitentiary system, its structural problems—racism, gender violence, and classism—reproduced by the devices of “justice”, as well as its ethics and aesthetics.
