A comprehensive understanding of art--both in practice and appreciation--requires engaged and critical dialogue with the art and artists. "It Is All in the Detail "celebrates this sort of close observation with images and short essays on recent works by students and alumni of the Master Fine Arts Program at Zurich University of the Arts, one of the major Swiss art schools with a curriculum that encourages project-oriented, experimental thinking, as well as interdisciplinary individual and collaborative work.
While seemingly diverse, the works collected here--many never before published--all suggest productive points of discussion determined in cooperation with the artists themselves. Generously illustrated, the resulting book provides a view of the innovative work resulting from the Master Fine Arts Program and the process of contemplating art.
