Bøger i Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art, 2000 Words Series serien

Juxtaposing the heavenly and the debased, the innocent and the perverse, the celestial and the microscopic, Polish artist Jakub Julian Ziólkowski (born 1980) traces his artistic lineage from Hieronymus Bosch to Philip Guston. Ziólkowski's work makes a startling demand: it asks the eye not to glance but to hold focus on the unraveling chaos of his images, and to embrace the hallucinatory vehemence of his vision. Part of the 2000 Words series, conceived and commissioned by Massimiliano Gioni, and published by the Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art, this volume presents the entirety of the Polish artist's works in the Dakis Joannou Collection and includes an essay by Cecilia Alemani that examines how the artist's work searches the body for a nonhierarchical image of the universe.

New York-based artist Seth Price (born 1973) traverses the possibilities of art through his work and critical writings. An ardent voice in the contemporary art community, Price uses a range of media--digital paintings, sculptures, vacuum-formed reliefs, music and performance art--to investigate different means of dissemination of his and other artists' works in the Internet age. Part of the 2000 Words series, conceived and commissioned by Massimiliano Gioni, and published by the Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art, 2000 Words: Seth Price presents the entirety of the artist's works in the Dakis Joannou Collection alongside a new essay by Price and an essay by Chris Wiley that examines the artist's peripatetic and complex vision.
