The vital coincidence

Initiated by Jeppe Hein and Finn Janning this anthology is an encounter of two concepts: vital and coincidence - the driving forces in our everyday life and culture. Upon the invitation to this simple, though yet thought provoking preposition by the Danish artist and his fellow philosopher a range of writers, artists and friends have contributed with an array of different responses. Ranging from deeper philosophical investigations, humorous memories of live and art, appreciations of Jeppe Hein’s work to original brief artistic contributions the anthology is a well-balanced selection filled with intelligent, readable and witty responses. Moreover ‘The Vital Coincidence’ is the only English language publication dealing with the concept of chance in contemporary art.
