The Owl of Minerva
by Sherri Cornett
Not Normal: Art in the Age of Trump exhibition catalog 
Published by Karen Gutfreund Art, 2020

ISBN-13: 979-8666759790
"As artists and curators, we have reacted to the anomie, the lack of moral guidance from our president, with a tidal wave of works and exhibitions and events. We have examined and made visual this hermeneutic cycle of questions and answers and more questions as we evolve with and process these horrendous acts and the making and unmaking of policies.

We have created frameworks in which voices and emotions and stories and perspectives are shared . . ."

Beyond Hegemony
by Sherri Cornett
Curatorial Essay
RISE: Empower, Change and Action! exhibition catalog
​
Published by Gutfreund Cornett Art, 2018

ISBN-10: 1722030291
"I admit to a fascination with word play, linguistics, and derivations and that the upswelling of termininology that is aimed at moving us beyond our past—as with post-colonialism, post-capitalism, post-feminism, postmodernism, post-identity, post-heteronormativity—sends me down lengthy rabbit holes of investigation. While I do believe such exercises can expand one’s understanding, the most powerful and empowering actions and interactions come when we take the “Think Globally, Act Locally” motto to the intimate scale— sharing our personal stories and our art and in face-to-face communication."

​Published by Gutfreund Cornett Art

ISBN: 198342787X
"How did we get here, where science, facts and truths are undermined? Where divisiveness and hate are escalating?  How are our opinions and views of our world, and those with whom we disagree, created?  Where do we go for reliable answers to our questions? How do we know what we know? What we don't know
