Fondation Pernod Ricard publishes anthology of 40 TextWork essays
The Fondation Pernod Ricard has released a book compiling the first 40 commissions from its TextWork programme, alongside two new essay commissions on its editorial platform. Launched in 2017, TextWork fosters dialogue between writing and contemporary art by pairing artists based in France with international writers to produce critical essays. The anthology, published in English and French, reflects an evolving archive of the French art scene. The project is supported by the French Ministry of Culture and produced by Mousse.
