Alessandro De Francesco (1981) is an artist, poet, essayist and the founder of the Language Art Studio. He lives and works in Cambridge, Basel and Brussels. Presented and exhibited in multiple international contexts, his work is focused on innovatory forms of manipulation of verbal materials. From 2008 to 2015 Alessandro was an artist-in-residence and visiting professor at the European Graduate School. He recently led workshops at the École de recherche graphique in Brussels and the Basel Academy of Art & Design (HGK) and is currently a visiting professor at the Y-Institute, Bern University of the Arts (HKB), Switzerland. Alessandro De Francesco writes poetry and works on several parallel projects, such as the Augmented Writing, a visual and spatial text-expansion and text-exhibition device, and the Reading Environments, poetry readings realised as performances and installations. He is currently developing immersive textual installations in virtual reality, visual works with language and different media, volume pieces with asemic writing, and new collective reading environments. The textual material used for his projects is often taken from his poetry and conceptual writing, that he conceives as plastic objects in their own right. Ce livre-oeuvre est né de la résidence d'artiste BeHave-Public Art experience à Belval (ancien site industriel de hauts-fourneaux parmi les plus grands d'Europe, reconverti en quartier urbain) à laquelle j'ai participé comme invité parmi d'autres artistes sélectionnés, du mois d'octobre 2015 au mois de janvier 2016. Il constitue à la fois une oeuvre à part entière et un document représentant la majorité du travail accompli pendant ma période de résidence. 'Trois engins poétiques' est une opération artistique où viennent dialoguer des questions sur le passé industriel et le présent des services, sur les rôles politiques du travail et de l'argent, sur les conditions de vie, d'habitation et d'existence de l'humain et notamment des travailleurs. Je mets ici en relation l'humain et le langage, matériau plastique de mon intervention.

"Remote Vision represents, in English and Italian, the most significant works in poetry and conceptual writing produced by Alessandro De Francesco to date. It is both a coherent book and the most exhaustive collection of his poetry ever published in any language. All sections have been rearranged for this publication, with each one containing the complete English text followed by the complete Italian version. The texts have been beautifully translated by poets and Brown University alumni Belle Cushing and Dusty Neu, under the coordination of the acclaimed poet and Comparative Literature scholar Forrest Gander. Remote Vision condenses and presents under a new light the conceptual and emotional intensity of Alessandro De Francesco's poetry."

Writing Art is an attempt to respond to the possibilities of art, the potentialities in art, to the possible event that art is. Keeping in mind that events are always already potentially beyond us, are quite possibly unknown, unknowable. In this book, Jeremy Fernando meditates on art through a response to specifics works, to the specificity of the craft, tekhnē, of each work; offering a reading of specific works of photography (Photovoice sg), poetry (Tammy Ho Lai-Ming), installation art (Charles Lim), film (Tan Chui Mui), conceptual art (ZXEROKOOL), and charcoal drawings (Yanyun Chen). Through writing. For, to write is always also to scribble, to scratch, tear, quite possibly open — and perhaps more importantly, to open the possibility of a relation with another, to the unknowability that is the other. At the risk that this writing causes one to writhe, to be torn, to cry out; even if the very one is himself.
