Description: ocus Solus: a unique or solitary place. Locus +, a nonprofit artists` space with no walls, borrows this publication`s title from a 1914 book by French writer Raymond Roussel in which a brilliant but deranged scientist pursues fantastical experiments, including projects to automate the making of works of art. Locus + continues Roussel`s explorations in essays on the power of borders, site-specificity and identity. Documented are site-specific artworks that Locus + helped bring to life.
