Benjamin Locreille - Maybe there will be a party

  • Perhaps there will be a party


    Meet Felix Gonzalez-Torres

    Perhaps There Will Be a Party is not a book about Felix Gonzalez-Torres. It is a book against forgetting.

    At a time when minority rights are faltering and memory is being rewritten, Benjamin Locreille wrote in a state of urgency.
