Works And Words

This publication is an unedited reprint of the catalogue originally published by De Appel in 1980 as a follow-up to the international art manifestation ‘Works and Words’. The event sought to break with the one-way traffic of Western artists traveling to the East by inviting artists from Eastern Bloc countries to Amsterdam. The invited artists, theoreticians, film-makers, and art historians represented a broad spectrum of practices, theoretical approaches, and developments. The manifestation resulted in an active exchange of ideas, new insights, and collaborations.

Aceasta publicatie este o reeditare fara editare a catalogului publicat initial de De Appel in 1980 ca urmare a manifestarii internationale de arta „Opere si cuvinte”. Evenimentul a incercat sa rupa cu traficul unidirectional al artistilor occidentali care calatoresc spre Est, invitand artisti din tarile din Blocul de Est la Amsterdam.
