This book accompanies the first large-scale museum exhibition in the United States devoted to the work of Francis Alÿs, one of the most acclaimed artists working today. The central focus is Alÿs's Rehearsal (Ensayo) series, but a significant number of important related, including When Faith Moves Mountains and Song for Lupita are presented along with paintings, photographs, and numerous drawings. Author Russell Ferguson provides an in-depth exploration of Alÿs's oeuvre, and in particular the theme of rehearsal that has run throughout his work, as well as related issues such as repetition, storytelling, and the conditions of performance.
