Work's Labour's Lost

Completand expozitia lui Serban Savu What Work Is din Pavilionul Romaniei de la cea de-a 60-a editie a Bienalei de la Venetia (2024), cartea de fata este publicata de Galeria Plan si Fundatia Idea si este editata de Mihnea Mircan si Bertha Savu. Noua eseuri scrise special cu aceasta ocazie contureaza peisajul - politic, al istoriei artei si afectiv - in care se desfasoara cercetarea artistului, fiind insotite de un numar consistent de reproduceri ale lucrarilor lui Savu, ce includ prezentarea de la Venetia, dar extinzandu-se si dincolo de aceasta.Completing Serban Savu’s exhibition What Work Is in the Romanian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024), the present book is published by Galeria Plan B and Idea Foundation and edited by Mihnea Mircan and Bertha Savu. Nine newly commissioned essays map the landscapes - political, art-historical, affective - against which the artist’s studies unfold, accompanied by a consistent amount of reproductions of Savu’s artworks, covering the Venice presentation but extending beyond it.
