Jérôme Bel: 76′ 38″ + ∞
Comprehensive book about beloved French choreographer and dancer Jerôme Bel (b. 1964) and his craft, published on the occasion of his first solo exhibition at Center for Contemporary Art Luigi Pecci in Prato, Italy, curated by Antonia Alampi. Studio Moretti Visani used BC Falster Grotesk for the bilingual book as well as for the poster.
From publisher SilvanaEditoriale:
The show brings together a selection of his most significant works to investigate the many possibilities of translating performance within the duration of an exhibition. It is time, more than space, that characterizes this project. Hence the title 76′ 38″ + ∞ that alludes to the duration, to the sum of the lengths of the videos on view: an encouragement to observe the works on display from the beginning to the end, a classical norm in theatres, an unusual behaviour in the museum. Here ∞ refers to the countless possibilities of a new dance, an on-going one created specifically for the Centro Pecci: a work without an end, thought to be experienced from a few seconds to eternity.
