Artaud 1936
Description
Artaud 1936 commemorates the legacy of the dramaturge, writer, actor and theorist Antonin Artaud, while at the same time, explores the cultural memory constructed after his death -in 1948- through the artwork of diverse artists. Seen in many ways as martyr and prophet, the influence of his work endures and is placed in that indefinite space that moves between theory and practice." (HKB Translation) -Page 31.
