Personal Structures
Time · Space · ExistencE
This book presents an ongoing project that deals with questions concerning Time, Space and Existence. It is the second book in this series and involves the personal ­participation of 46 artists from different parts of the world, in a combination of internationally ­renowned artists and others whose œuvre is less known. The concepts Time, Space and ­Existence are ­highlighted in very personal ways and from unusual points of view.
The many photographs of the artworks and encounters with the artists convey ­fascinating insights into their being, ideas and work. Seven Art Projects with ­established artists centralize their thoughts to a great extent. In addition, the book emphasizes two PERSONAL ­STRUCTURES exhibitions that were part of the Venice Biennale in 2011 and 2013. This ­publication also contains ­several interviews, artists' ­statements, and symposium ­contributions that discuss the theme of this book in detail.
PERSONAL STRUCTURES was initiated in 2002 by the Dutch artist Rene Rietmeyer. His ­observation that even in the most distant places artists are occupied with Time, Space and Existence, led to the idea of bringing ­several of these artists together in ­publications, symposia and exhibitions. - from Amzon
