- About Me:
- If you´ll believe in me, I´ll believe in you is a book that was published alongside an exhibition of the same title and consists of texts written by its curators and other invited writers who all come from different academic fields and geographic backgrounds and comment directly or indirectly on some of the issues raised by the exhibition.
The content of the book ranges from poetry through to theoretical and nonsensical texts, and provides a vast array of opinions and lyrical approaches to themes of anthropomorphism, artistic mythologies, abjection and beautification; and is accompanied by illustrations, mainly of the artworks in the exhibition.
The book is available for sale for the
promotional price of £5
