Sophie Calle: Take Care of Yourself
-
- Courtesy Prestel Publishing
Displaying a unique approach to what might otherwise inflict emotional trauma, artist Sophie Calle rose to challenge an ex's breakup email suggestion to "take care of yourself" by asking 107 professional women to analyze and interpret the email's content. Calle's voyeuristic sleuthing and disclosure of intimate details — delving into explorations of public-versus-private life — has made her one of France's most renowned conceptual artists. Take Care of Yourself exhibits these personal responses to a painful message (ranging from live performance to academic discourse), which leaves viewers both uncomfortable and reflectively empathetic.
Note:
Paula Cooper Gallery presents the American debut of Calle's Take Care of Yourself.

Is "take care of yourself" comparable to, "get your shit together"?
I don't know, but i know it exists in the same space as "its not you, it's me" , "If I met you a year ago". I've heard a few!
