intermission museum of art
preface: persona/e |
rose van mierlo | john ros

ima's opening edition is an introduction as well as a question. what does it mean to be a person? where is the limit between the intimately known, and the publicly strange? which fictions underwrite our sense of being in the world, of being alive, of being perceived both by ourselves and others? in a time of virtual space, reality tv, and online personalities, how do we negotiate, expand, and play with the porous limits between self and other?

this book is john ros' contribution to the collaboration. the full collaboration can be viewed at intermission museum's website.
