Locus Solus Site, Identity and Technology In Contemporary Art
Summary
Locus a unique or solitary place. Locus +, a nonprofit artists' space with no walls, borrows this publication's title from a 1914 book by French writer Raymond Roussel in which a brilliant but deranged scientist pursues fantastical experiments, including projects to automate the making of works of art. Locus + continues Roussel's explorations in essays on the power of borders, site-specificity and identity. Documented are site-specific artworks that Locus + helped bring to life. 7 x 9 inches, 80 b&w and color reproductions.
