Alain Declercq - Documents ---------- [ English Text ]

Paris 2010. 1 Volume/1.-- As New -- . Hardback - 29,7 x 21 cm . ------- 208 pages with 350 color illustrations .*********************** """ Based in Paris and New York, Alain Declercq is an important, accomplished and provocative French artist with a mature ideological drive enough so to have been raided by police for his connections to activism and outrage at the War on Terror. Declercq trained as a graphic designer; this heavy-papered monograph has a rational and elegant design by Declercq and Ruedi Baur. An occasional performance artist, Declercq is best known for his photography, video, and pictures made from bullet holes. Most impressive of all the conceptually robust work here is the series Blue on Blue (Attack). Photographs of skies seen notionally through the cockpits of military aircraft bombing unseen enemies below, these elegiac images are the perfect expression of Declercqs aesthetic discipline and moral purpose. With texts by Samuel Bianchini, Nicole Brenez, Jan van Woensel and Gérard Wajcman.********************** fav-02-06.…
