Abstract

Francis Alÿs has documented children at play all over the world, from kids playing knucklebones in Nepal to musical chairs in Mexico or flying kites in Afghanistan. He filmed in peaceful towns and villages, but also against the backdrop of conflict and tension, such as at a Yezidi refugee camp in Iraq or in besieged Kabul. This book shows the ways children everywhere pass the time and create their own fantasies in games and leisure, whether skipping stones, sandcastles, marbles, or hopscotch. The project is presented here as a series for the first time, with contributions by journalist Lorna Scott Fox, filmmaker David MacDougall, and art critic and curator Cuauhtémoc Medina.

Francis Alÿs.

Abstract

A close look at the Mexico City-based artist's lyrical expansions of art into life. He employs a range of media - including painting, video, and other more unorthodox materials - in innovative takes on observation, participation and performance. Alÿs's work stems from his interest in the powers that shape urban existence, as well as the innovative schemes that ordinary individuals devise to subvert them. Alÿs invents his own fables, weaving them into the social fabric of such cities as Venice, London and Mexico City, his home for nearly 20 years. Alÿs's work has been included in the world's top international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale (2001), the Carnegie International (2004) and the São Paulo Biennial (2004).
