Title: Francis Al˙s ¯"“ Walking Distance from the Studio
Description: Hatje Cantz. Hardcover. Pp: 160. The ephemeral-the temporary, fleeting character of life-is a central principle in the art of Francis Al˙s, who was born in 1959 in Antwerp and now lives 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 Situationists, he is captivated by such images as a wind-blown plastic bag or sleeping homeless people or the wandering shadow of a flag pole on the Plaza Major. Francis Al˙s's explorations of public space and social conditions in Mexico City are the primary focus of this lavishly illustrated publication. It features his Ambulantes (1992-2002), a slide series devoted to the itinerant street merchants of the Mexican megacity, and thus offers fascinating insights into the most recent work of Francis Al˙s, recipient of the first blueOrange Art Prize, awarded in 2004. ISBN: 9783775715416. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
