Résumé:
Taking as its starting point Ramkinkar Baij's 1938 "Santhal Family" sculpture, this book combines critical and fictional texts with specially commissioned pages by artists from India, Europe and the U.K. Considered to be the first modernist public sculpture in India, Santhal Family combines an interest in the forms of modernism and temple sculpture with a concern for ground level reality. Depicting a family group from the Santhal tribe carrying their possessions with them to a new place of work, it is a portrait of labour that presents the complexity of its subject without heroism or pathos. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name that has been produced by the MuHKA, Antwerp, February to May 2008, and which is currently travelling through India.

Résumé:
Liam Gillick emerged as part of the generation of "Young British Artists" who energized the British art scene in the 1980s and 1990s. He is now one of the most influential (and perplexing) artists in all of contemporary art. Gillick's discursive mode of art practice—often associated with "relational aesthetics"—complicates object production, embraces the exhibition as medium, and explores the social role and function of art. This reader coincides with a year-long, multi-venue, mid-career retrospective that serves both as a continuous investigation into Gillick's practice and an in-depth study of his work to date. The book offers a range of critical perspectives on artist's work. Introduction by Monika Szewczyk.
