Jacques Derrida, To Save the Phenomena.

In 1989 the French philosopher, Jacques Derrida, wrote an essay on my early artwork entitled “Sauver les phénomènes (Pour Salvatore Puglia)”. The essay was originally published in the French journal Contretemps in 1995.

I am pleased to announce that the Chicago University Press has recently published an English translation of this essay along with several other writings by Derrida in the collection Thinking Out of Sight, Writings on the Arts of the Visible.
