This reader is part of the 2019 Art Encounters Biennial in Timișoara, documenting its year-long programme centred on the idea of contemporary art as a form of understanding which, along with science, politics, literature, and philosophy, helps us tackle the complexity of life today. In addition to texts on the art works, the publication encompasses conversations with the participants, and essays by Andrea Philips, Boris Buden and Daria Ghiu, elaborating on the thematic of "winds" that blew through the biennial. The introduction by curators Maria Lind and Anca Rujoiu outlines their curatorial approach and the "winds" of this biennial bringing forward different thoughts and ideas: borders and translation, self-organisation, work of the hand, and the limits of visibility and invisibility."--Back cover.
