The Palace of Projects
This artist's book assembles over sixty proposed projects, ranging from the small in scale to the grandiose, as gathered by the legendary renegade artist Ilya Kabakov (b. 1933). As Kabakov notes in his introduction, "the world consists of a multitude of projects, realized ones, half-realized ones, and not realized at all." Kabakov, who was born in the Ukraine, studied in Lenningrad, and lived for a long time in Moscow, began as an illustrator, but gained his international reputation as a visionary installation artist.
