Giny Vos - Singing in the Dark
giny Vos works with new media, creating installations for the public space (from Apeldoorn to Delhi) often consisting of thousands of lights or diodes. Using language or remarkable images, Vos' installations explore the specific environment of which they are part while also telling a story of their own. The book reveals the depth and scope of Vos' work, researches the artistic choices, the meaning and the magic of using light, explores the intermeshing with the public space and the position seen in the light of developments in contemporary art. | more

Antennae planned for 2010:
Moving Together by Rudi Laermans examines contemporary dance from both a practical and a theoretical perspective, with interactions between the two. He proposes a (theoretical) framework and investigates how artistic cooperation results in dance. The book also includes some 25 interviews with choreographers from different generations.

Too many public art projects result in short-term, temporary interventions, often connected with an exhibition, biennial or event. Locating the Producers investigates how and why more longer-term, durational and accumulative projects have began to emerge in response to a single place. This dynamic and extensive publication provides the first in-depth examination of exemplary curatorial projects.
