CONTEMPORARY ART / ILUSTRATION OCT. 20 (Wed.)
Josune Urrutia Asua
Compendio colectivo sobre cáncer (Collective Compendium on Cancer) Graphic artist Josune Urrutia presents her publication Compendio colectivo sobre cáncer (Collective Compendium on Cancer) at Azkuna Zentroa. Halfway between an artist’s book and a scientific paper, this compendium uses a format similar to that of an illustrated dictionary, with a long tradition in the history of medicine. This is an ensemble publication illustrated by the artist with the participation of the entire hospital community of Hospital Arnau de Vilanova Oncology Radiotherapy Service, which has contributed in the definition of words and has provided this compendium with contents.
