Summary:Salt in the Wound takes you on a journey through Europe, following the work of eighteen leading and upcoming contemporary artists. What drives these artists? How does their imagination relate to the cultural landscape, political climate and circumstances in which they work? Through conversations with the artists, the author delves into personal and cultural histories, looking at both local and global dimensions of art. Reflecting on the work of these artists, who work in very different traditions and regions of the continent, he presents new perspectives on the diversity of Europe, its art and the origins of that art.
