The publication is an introduction to Takis (Panagiotis Vassilakis), key figure of Europe's post-war avant-garde and pioneer in new art forms using magnetism, light and sound.

Guy Brett (critic and independent curator), contextualises Takis work in avant-garde art circles in London and Paris; Michael Wellen (curator of International Art, Tate) explains the artist's engagement with poetry, sexuality, and science, with a specific focus on Takis responses to Greek culture and war-torn Europe, and Melissa Warak (US scholar specialised in the history American avant-garde music and art) looks at Takis' musical collaborations from 1950s through 1990s.

This solo exhibition has been organised by Tate Modern and will tour to MACBA, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona in 2019.
