Author: Marta, KarenMore than just a catalogue of recent exhibitions, DESTE 33+: 2015–2022 is a map to the fascinating web of collaborations and friendships at the heart of Dakis J oannou’s curatorial world. Studded with contributions by such artists as Urs Fischer, Kara Walker and Jeff Koons, and accompanied by a rich array of archival images and new essays, this book introduces members of the younger generation continuing to shape and challenge contemporary art. “DESTE has always had a stake in the current climate,” Joannou notes, and, even in the face of the pandemic’s upheaval, continues “engaging in a global dialogue and offering a platform for new voices.” Eight years after the release of DESTE 33 Years: 1983–2015, which introduced a broad audience to the DESTE project, this volume is an essential primer on the state of art today.ISBN 9786185039387.
