This third publication in the Fundacion Cisneros` Conversaciones / Conversations series puts Brazilian conceptual artist Jac Leirner in dialogue with art historian Adele Nelson. Leirner (born 1961) emerged in the early 1990s at the forefront of a new, transnational generation of artists looking to the art of the 1960s and 1970s as a point of departure. Leirner`s meticulously constructed works carve out a place for commonplace objects, from cigarette packs and plastic shopping bags to cutlery and currency. In this, the first in-depth study of Leirner`s creative process, Nelson interviews the artist about more than two decades of production.Author: Jac Leirner , Adele Nelson , Adele NelsonPublisher: Fundacion CisnerosISBN: 9780982354445Jac Leirner in Conversation with Adele NelsonPages: 220Publication Date: 30 June 2011Format: Hardback
