Torrington Project is a new artist book by Tom Burr that serves as a multi-modal portrait of his landmark installation-studio-exhibition space of the same name. From 2021–2024, Burr occupied a repurposed 19th-century factory in Torrington, Connecticut, arranging a career-spanning array of more than 50 works from throughout his career within the environment, while using the space as a studio to create new work and host visits from other artists, writers, performers, curators, and collectors. The book functions as the project’s final element, featuring documentation of Burr’s build-out of the space, alongside the works housed within; the artist’s diaristic writings about his stewardship of the building; and essay contributions from George Baker, Jordan Carter, Aria Dean, Jody Graf, Renée Green, David Joselit, Christine Messineo, and Humberto Moro—all of whom Burr has invited into the project. Subverting the traditional catalogue raisonné, the publication maps out the many social dimensions that came to define the project, while highlighting the artist’s ongoing engagement with architecture, institutional critique, personal histories, and public space.
