Kendell GeersKendell Geers: Hand Grenades from my Heart, 2012
Kendell Geers : Hand Grenades from my Heart is the third in a series of Pocket book interviews with key cultural figures by internationally reknowned curator, cultural entrepreneur and pioneer Jerome Sans, former director of the ground breaking Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing and co-founder of the acclaimed Palais de Tokyo, Paris. By blowing up museum walls and burning down public monuments, Kendell Geers made a name for himself as a aesthetic agitator. His works are powerful environments of terror and violence, eroticism and poetry. This is the first compilation of writings and interviews with art critics, historians, artists, from 1989 until the present in which South African born, Belgium artist Kendell Geers, as a sociopolitical, cultural-activist, artist, conveys a unique insight and historical perspective on his work and his engagement through art. This OPEN BOOK series seeks to give a voice to the artist, by listening to the words of today''s vibrant, global cultural scene, the arena in which our future foundations are being played out.
