Who was Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza? These questions are at the heart of \u003ci\u003eCotton under My Feet\u003c\/i\u003e, a new project by New York-based Lebanese artist Walid Raad (born 1967) conceived for the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, coinciding with the centennial of its original founder.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the depths of the museum's archives, Raad unearthed fragments of stories, fictional documents and puzzling artifacts. Brought to life through a slippery narrative--a lavishly illustrated performance script forms the centerpiece of the volume--Raad invites readers to follow him into the tunnels of conjecture he has constructed, offering a vertiginous reflection on the potential legacy of the Thyssen-Bornemisza collections and their relation to the histories of Western and non-Western art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walid Raad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3753301035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783753301037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walther Konig Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Walid Raad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078862106879,"sku":"9783753301037","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_daef1116-ac9a-423f-a2a7-7824b034b258.jpg?v=1685477950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/walid-raad-walid-raad-9783753301037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
