Abstract

Francis Alÿs, geboren in België in 1959, is een van 's werelds belangrijkste hedendaagse kunstenaars. Na een architectuuropleiding in Venetië verhuisde hij in 1986 naar Mexico City, waar hij nog steeds woont. Zijn werk is qua schaal en techniek uiterst gevarieerd, gaande van eenvoudige tekeningen, over media zoals video, fotografie, schilderij en performance, tot de creatie van epische acties met honderden deelnemers. Mark Godfrey schreef voor deze publicatie het inleidend essay en Cuauhtémoc Medina commentarieerde samen met Alÿs meer dan zestig belangrijke werken. Het boek omvat voorst een alfabet met citaten van de kunstenaar, en beschouwingen over Alÿs' werk van een internationale groep kunstenaars, critici, dichters en stedenbouwkundigen.

Abstract

A fully updated edition of the artist's first comprehensive monograph, more than a decade since its original publication. Francis Alÿs examines the patterns of various urban sites before weaving his own fables into their tangled social fabric with wit, sensitivity, and an acutely personal connection to his subject matter. A scene such as a Volkswagen Beetle struggling up a hill or a man pushing a block of ice can carry a message that resonates far beyond the work's simple parameters. As Alÿs puts it, 'Sometimes doing something poetic can become political, and sometimes doing something political can become poetic.'

Abstract

Francis Alÿs has documented children at play all over the world, from kids playing knucklebones in Nepal to musical chairs in Mexico or flying kites in Afghanistan. He filmed in peaceful towns and villages, but also against the backdrop of conflict and tension, such as at a Yezidi refugee camp in Iraq or in besieged Kabul. This book shows the ways children everywhere pass the time and create their own fantasies in games and leisure, whether skipping stones, sandcastles, marbles, or hopscotch. The project is presented here as a series for the first time, with contributions by journalist Lorna Scott Fox, filmmaker David MacDougall, and art critic and curator Cuauhtémoc Medina.

Abstract

A close look at the Mexico City-based artist's lyrical expansions of art into life. He employs a range of media - including painting, video, and other more unorthodox materials - in innovative takes on observation, participation and performance. Alÿs's work stems from his interest in the powers that shape urban existence, as well as the innovative schemes that ordinary individuals devise to subvert them. Alÿs invents his own fables, weaving them into the social fabric of such cities as Venice, London and Mexico City, his home for nearly 20 years. Alÿs's work has been included in the world's top international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale (2001), the Carnegie International (2004) and the São Paulo Biennial (2004).
