Enrique Juncosa: The Irish Years: Selected Writings

By Enrique Juncosa

Enrique Joncosa is one of the foremost curators of contemporary art in the twenty-first century, and a lifelong champion of international art in Ireland. During his nine years at Dublin's Irish Museum of Modern Art, this Spanish director's energetic, sometimes controversial style secured this relatively small museum a place in the pantheon of post- modernism as one of the most vibrant and innovative venues in Europe. Featuring an extended full-colour photographic essay and an introduction by Colm Toibin, this volume of Joncosa's writings, published by IMMA (in Boulevard Magenta, the Museum's literary magazine) and elsewhere around the world, includes literary texts (short stories and long poems) and essays on Irish and international artists as diverse as Howard Hodgkin, Terry Winters, Anne Madden, Bhupen Khakhar and Willie McKeown, as well as filmmakers like Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
