Allora & Calzadilla & Etcetera

This artist's book presents a selection of images that Allora & Calzadilla have collected over the course of a decade. None of these images are documentation or research for any particular work. Rather, these images present a parallel component to their practice. They are presented in this book as a succession of pairings, organised in a non-illustrative and ultimately intuitive arrangement. This series of pictures can be understood as an independent, intuitive composition, which offers insight into the artists' thinking and methodology. Arranged in pairs of pictures, this is a sequence of paintings, illustrations and photographs, which don't follow any illustrative or conclusive order, but rather reveal a contradictory system of interests and motivations. Jennifer Allora (*1974, USA) and Guillermo Calzadilla (*1971, Cuba) are based in San Juan, Puerto Rico and, have been working collaboratively since 1995.
