This book, published to coincide with the first monographic exhibition of pioneer conceptual artist David Lamelas' (Buenos Aires, 1946) work in MALBA, is the first Spanish edition of the catalog co-edited with the University Art Museum of the California State University (Long Beach, CA) in collaboration with Getty Publications. This volume is the first comprehensive publication on the work of Lamelas and comprises a set of photographs, films, sculptures, videos, performances and installations created from 1964 to the present, which offer a thorough survey of the work of this trail-blazing, multifaceted artist. "Since he left Buenos Aires in the mid-1960's to study at Saint Martin's in London, conceptual Argentinean artist David Lamelas lives between Los Angeles, New York, Brussels, Berlin and Paris. He moves with ease from one place or "conceptual framework" to another; his singular nomadic practice has always been more 'postnational' than 'international'. Though a multiplicity of stories, this publication explores in depth his oeuvre and periods, as well as how the diversity of geographical and artistic genres he has explored, each with a life of their own."--Verso Cover.
