<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Between 2010 and 2011, curator Elena Filipovic along with artists Danh Vo, Carol Bove and Tino Sehgal, organized a visionary Felix Gonzalez-Torres exhibition across three institutions: WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels; Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel; and MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt. <p/>With the profound visual and conceptual potential of Gonzalez-Torres' work in mind, Filipovic devised an exhibition structure that entailed two autonomous-yet-adjacent exhibitions of his work at each of the three venues: one iteration by her, and one by Vo, Bove and Sehgal respectively. This volume follows the show's structure. Each venue has a dedicated section which includes a preface by Filipovic, photographic documentation of each exhibition and a contribution by Vo, Bove and Sehgal reflecting upon their positions as curators of Gonzalez-Torres' work. <p/>Danh Vo includes photographs of diagrammatic brass wall plaques as presented within his installation at WIELS; Carol Bove offers an essay describing her personal experiences with the work of Gonzalez-Torres and the curatorial scope of her installation; and Tino Sehgal recorded a conversation with Andrea Rosen--Gonzalez-Torres' lifelong art dealer--which captures part of their rich dialogue around the artist's work. <p/>A comparative illustrated checklist documents each of the 85 works by Gonzalez-Torres featured in all their iterations. This invaluable resource showcases the radical and expansive nature of Gonzalez-Torres' work as envisioned through the remarkable and unique voices of this important generation of artists, alongside the curatorial insight of Elena Filipovic.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>one of the most important artists to emerge in the late 1980s and early 1990s--Christian Viveros-Fauné "Art Agency Partners: In Other Words"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Elena Filipovic</strong> is director and chief curator of Kunsthalle Basel in Basel, Switzerland.</p>
