Publisher: Surpllus, ISBN: 9781922099280, Author: Nikos Papastergiadis, Format: Hardcover, 220 x 140 mm, 264pp

The art world celebrates the diversity of artistic practice, but how does it address the question of cultural differences? Biennales are today held in many metropolitan cities, but how does the art world understand the phenomenon of globality? This book is about real and imaginary exchanges between artists and writers. In the absence of a personal connection with an artist, the meaning of art is often elusive. It takes as its starting point a shared horizon of interest between artists and writers.
