Folio wrappers, 9 1/2" x 13", 120pp, illustrated with color plates and reproductions. This first anthology dedicated to Laercio Redondos artistic production focuses on various aspects of his practice, which rethinks the past in relation to the present using a calculated economy of representation and the superimposition of various grids of meaning. Through a series of essays, a conversation with the artist, as well as extensive illustrations of his work, the reader gains insight into Redondos various projects that often take as their subject iconic architecture of the twentieth century in order to address the unresolved afterlife of Brazils modernity. The volumes authors speak to a range of values in his work: from the ostensibly personal to the social and political. Very good.. Very Good .
