Raffaella Crispino. Open Field

The publication Open Field explores and amplifies the work of Raffaella Crispino between research and practice in the eponymous exhibition held at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Tournai, within the framework of the Europalia Arts Festival. In the publication, photographs of the works produced and installed in the museum are presented together with working documents, sketches, notes, historical photos, exchanges with scientists, references and architectural documents. The publication takes the form of an atlas, an index, and an encyclopaedia, allowing for a transversal reading of the historical-scientific knowledge and artistic practice behind the six works presented in the exhibition and their relationship to selected works from the museum’s collection.
