One of them is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wilsonkevin.com\/\">&#8220;The Family Fang&#8221; by Kevin Wilson<\/a>. A family of contemporary artists. Or, to be more precise, an artistic couple with two children, who are obliged to play a key role in their artistic projects. <\/p>\n<p>Art projects, that would function fantastically in the art world. If they were for real. Projects that question society, capitalism and current affairs, from the inside. Projects, that occupy commercial malls, to make art that affects consumers, obliging them to think about, and question, the world. Reading the book one can visualise the works of the Fang in serious exhibitions, historic revisions of the eighties (that are already here). They work. And that\u2019s the best part: it could all be for real. <\/p>\n<p>Kevin Wilson, as well as presenting the works of the Fang, follows the evolution of the siblings into adulthood, children who were marked for life by the art of their parents. Being the child of a performer, and that your parents consider you to be part of their work, can have the result that between art and love, between life and the construction of it, it can be hard to know where the frontiers lie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The crossing of paths between contemporary art and literature: a crossover, that seen from the art world it seems that having a handle on two names (Vila-Matas and Houellebecq) one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1238,"featured_media":6863,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6783],"tags":[5785],"coauthors":[6375],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Family Fang &#8211;
