A selection of nearly 60 works made by the contemporary artist in the past 15 years. This book gathers a selection of around 60 works made by Francesco Arena from 2004 to 2019, plus two scholarly texts by Vincenzo De Bellis, curator and associate director of events at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, curator of the 34th Bienal de So Paulo. These analyse the basic themes in the artist's research, like the relationship between man and time and how this conditions the spaces we live in. The monograph is rounded off by a conversation between Francesco Arena and Ines Goldbach and technical entries of all the works with illustrations and short texts compiled directly by the artist.
Francesco Arena (Torre Santa Susanna, Brindisi, 1978) graduated from the Fine Arts Academy of Lecce in 2001. He lives and works in Cassano delle Murge, Bari.
