The American conceptual artist Dennis Adams presentation of Malraux’s Shoes, as part if the Fotograf Festival Off Limits. But how does the Malraux’s Shoes piece fit into Adam’s work and what convinced the artist to become, for a moment, the French writer and intellectual revolutionary from the middle of the 20th century? During his lecture in the attic of VŠUP, Dennis Adams will focus on the relationship between architecture and the possibilities of presenting contemporary art in public space – all within the context of his own work.
