{"product_id":"animal-spirits-michael-stevenson-9783037641378","title":"Animal Spirits: Fables in the Parlance of Our Times","description":"In 2008, the artist Michael Stevenson (born 1964) self-published a slim book called \u003ci\u003eFables \u003c\/i\u003eto accompany his project \u003ci\u003eLender of Last Resort\u003c\/i\u003e at the Kr ller-M ller Museum in the Netherlands. It consisted of a series of nine texts in fable form, each of which suggested further allegorical readings on a tableau in the show. All were coauthored by Stevenson and the Berlin-based art critic Jan Verwoert. The \u003ci\u003eLender of Last Resort \u003c\/i\u003eproject was developed around the idea of the bilateral loan contract, and this new edition of \u003ci\u003eAnimal Spirits\u003c\/i\u003e expands upon this theme, reexamining it in the light of today's ongoing global financial crisis. The stories were written in a loose Exquisite Corpse manner, and were co-illustrated by the artist and his mother, Margaret Stevenson, in a similar fashion. The stories themselves all address arrangements between two parties or what could be called informal bilateral contracts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Stevenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3037641371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037641378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jrp Ringier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 5.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Michael Stevenson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940744397055,"sku":"9783037641378","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7b87bfd3-2ad4-4f74-8461-08890b6c5603.jpg?v=1681448942","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animal-spirits-michael-stevenson-9783037641378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
