The occasion follows his custom of creating provisional spaces and monuments for philosophers and writers such as Walser and Gramsci.\u003cbr\u003eThis book recounts the event through the eyes of its \"ambassador,\" art historian Vittoria Martini, who was invited by the artist to be an eyewitness to the existence of this \"precarious\" work. Hirschhorn sees the term \"precarious\" as positive and creative--a means of asserting the importance of the moment and of the place, of asserting the here and now.\u003cbr\u003eGuiding readers through her experience of the Bijlmer Spinoza-Festival, Martini's commentary provides a profound understanding of how a work that no longer exists physically can live on in the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 5.4 x 8.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 28, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765716123936,"sku":"9783775752626","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ff06771057e99fd92e81712fe43130ba.webp?v=1780277952","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/thomas-hirschhorn-the-bijlmer-spinoza-festival-the-ambassadors-diary-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
