Description
Jorge Eielson: Matter, sign, space is a monograph that brings together significant examples of the Peruvian artist's work, tracing the key stages in his creative career. In collaboration with the Archivio Jorge Eielson and the Centro Studi Jorge Eielson in Florence, this book showcases Eielson's experimental and radical approach to art.
The exhibition accompanying this publication highlights the persuasive relevance of Eielson's poetics in its global communicative dimension. A notable example is the installation at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2018, which featured an entrance panel with 447 knots representing the "huacas" present in Lima, creating a dialogue between architecture and environment.
This book provides a unique insight into Eielson's artistic vision and its continued influence on contemporary art. With its selection of highly significant examples of his work, it is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the artist's place within the broader art historical context.
