One Week
With Mona

James Graeme-Dove

For seven days I stood before the Mona Lisa.
This book reveals her story — and her secret.

James Graeme-Dove is a writer and editor whose work explores attention, image, and cultural memory in the digital age. He spent twenty years in the contemporary art world, holding positions at various institutions including the Whitechapel Gallery and Artangel, before founding the editorial platform this is tomorrow. He writes for publishers including Phaidon, and his practice increasingly explores how embodied presence and symbolic gesture can respond to a culture of acceleration and distraction. One Week with Mona is the first in a series of quiet interventions into art history, memory, and meaning.
