Mea culpa

"The book, edited by Diego Sileo and Lutz Henke, illustrates the first great retrospective exhibition in Italy dedicated to the conceptual artist Santiago Sierra. He was born in Madrid in 1966 and for nearly three decades has been working in the arduous field inherent to criticism of contemporary social-political conditions. Harbinger of the grim truth of our times, Sierra is often stigmatized for his intense and ambiguous actions. Yet their visual language, their complex and energetic symbolism, their descent into the reality of people bestow his works with a rare emotional impact. For the first time, this catalogue collects the most iconic and representative political works by the artist from the 1990s to the present - together with documents regarding his many performances enacted around the world."--Back cover.
