Francis Alÿs : Politics of Rehearsal

description

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held September 30, 2007 - February 20, 2008. Essay by Russell Ferguson, curator. "The centerpiece of the book is Alÿs' Rehearsal (Ensayo) series, but a number of related earlier works are included. 'Ensayo 1, 1999-2000' shows a red Volkswagen Beetle attempting to ascend a steep hill in Tijuana: its attempts are synchronized with the sound track of Mexican danzon musicians rehearsing. 'Ensayo 2, 2005' follows the rehearsal of a dancer practicing a striptease, and 'Ensayo 3' will be produced by Alÿs specifically for the exhibition. Other works include 'When Faith Moves Mountains' and 'Song for Lupita,' as well as many paintings, photographs and drawings." -- publisher's statement. Includes DVD.
