The ephemeral--the temporary, fleeting character of life--is a central principle in the art of Francis Als, the Belgian-born artist who currently resides in Mexico. He conceives his works in his own immediate surroundings--on walks through the streets of Mexico City. Working in the traditions of Fluxus and the Situationalists, he is captivated by such images as a wind-blown plastic bag, or sleeping homeless peoples, or the wandering shadow of a flag pole on the Plaza Major. Als's explorations of public space and social conditions in Mexico City are the primary focus of this lavisly illustrated publication that features the artist's Ambulantes (1992-2002), a slide series devoted to the itinerant street merchants of the Mexican megacity. The book also offers a current survey of his subversive, often politically-motivated work.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: gut. 2005. Für den in Mexiko lebenden Belgier Francis Alÿs (*1959 in Antwerpen) ist das Ephemere, also das Flüchtige, Vorübergehende zentrales Prinzip seiner Kunst. Seine Arbeiten entwickelt er in seiner unmittelbaren Umgebungbei Spaziergängen durch die Straßen von Mexiko City. So erweckt etwa eine wehende Plastiktüte seine Aufmerksamkeit oder schlafende Obdachlose, mal verfolgt er mit der Kamera den wandernden Schatten der Fahnenstange auf der Plaza Major. Damit steht der Künstler in der Tradition sowohl der Situationisten als auch der Fluxus-Künstler. Francis Alÿs' Erforschung des öffentlichen Raumes und der sozialen Situationen von Mexiko City stehen im Mittelpunkt dieser durchgehend farbig bebilderten Publikation. Sie zeigt die Diaserie Ambulantes (1992-2002) über die so genannten »fliegenden Händler« in der Megastadt und bietet damit aktuelle Einblicke in das Schaffen von Francis Alÿs, der in diesem Jahr mit dem erstmalig verliehenen »blueOrange«-Kunstpreis ausgezeichnet wurde. In deutscher Sprache. 159 pages. 28,6 x 18,8 x 2 cm. Seller Inventory # BN12805
