A Series of Open Questions

 
Each book in the series takes the work of a single artist as its point of departure, spiraling outward to create an expansive and carefully edited ecosystem of ideas and voices. Each volume includes newly commissioned writing as well a selection of perspectives, images, and references related to the year-long research seasons at CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts.
