Interludes
DEAN RADER |
ALVA NOTO

The Interludes have been conceived as part of the In Perspective project. They will accompany some of the episodes, focusing on selected works by the contributors to the online section.
As musical interludes, each work especially dedicated to Cy Twombly will be connected to a music piece.
