Author Description

Published on the occasion of a solo exhibition of work by Alicia Framis, a multifaceted artist born in Barcelona and educated in Paris and Amsterdam, this large-format book delves into all aspects of her oeuvre over the last fifteen years, from films and installations to performance art and fashion design. Divided into three broader themes – social architecture, fashion and demonstrations, and wishing walls – it investigates her work and its interaction with people, addressing various societal issues like race, gender and discrimination while employing strategies of performativity to reclaim public space and bridge the distance between artist and audience.0Exhibition: Museum voor Moderne Kunst, Arnhem, the Netherlands (8.6.-29.9.2013) / Galerie im Taxispalais, Innsbrück, Austria (14.12.2013-23.2.2014) / MUSAC, Léon, Spain (15.3.-6.7.2014) / Centre for Contemporary Art, Brugge, Belgium (20.9.-23.11.2014). 0Exhibition:
