The monograph Grand Bal accompanies the Ann Veronica Janssens retrospective exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca. The publishing project, produced in close collaboration with the artist and designed by Studio Otamendi, traces her 40-year career by presenting a wide selection of historical works and new productions documented by a detailed iconographic archive. Delving into the conceptual developments and formal variations of this body of work, the volume provides a plurality of perspectives through a text by writer Philippe Bertels, an essay by art historians Robin Clark, Ernst van Alphen and Stéphane Ibars, a contribution by architects Kersten Geers and Jelena Pančevac, and one by philosopher Maud Hagelstein. The book is enriched by extensive documentation of the exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca that presents for the first time the most comprehensive selection of works, also narrated through a conversation between Ann Veronica Janssens and exhibition curator Roberta Tenconi.
