Abraham Poincheval (English edition)
Abraham Poincheval is an insatiable explorer. Whether by crossing the Alps while pushing a capsule he used as his shelter, or by enclosing himself for a week in a rock, his—itinerant or static—expeditions require total physical commitment. The inhabitable sculptures which the artist conceives are laboratories allowing him to experience time, enclosure or immobility. They are the envelope that hosts the performer, an object that disturbs the landscape, and which exists through word of mouth. Abraham Poincheval’s two new performances at the Palais de Tokyo lead him to experience the temporalities of the animal and the mineral kingdoms. Book Contents - “Abraham Poincheval, Humanity in S...
Abraham Poincheval
Abraham Poincheval est un explorateur insatiable. Qu’il s’agisse de traverser les Alpes en poussant une capsule qui lui sert d’abri ou de s’enfermer une semaine dans un rocher, ses expéditions – itinérantes ou statiques – nécessitent un engagement total du corps. Les sculptures habitables que l’artiste conçoit sont des laboratoires au moyen desquels il fait l’expérience du temps, de l’enfermement ou de l’immobilité. Elles sont l’enveloppe qui accueille le performeur, l’objet qui perturbe le paysage et qui existe à travers les récits des témoins. Les deux nouvelles performances d’Abraham Poincheval au Palais de Tokyo le conduisent à expérimenter les temporalités des règnes animal et minéral. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle d’Abraham Poincheval au Palais de Tokyo, 03.02 – 08.05 2017

Walking and Mapping
An exploration of walking and mapping as both form and content in art projects using old and new technologies, shoe leather and GPS. From Guy Debord in the early 1950s to Richard Long, Janet Cardiff, and Esther Polak more recently, contemporary artists have returned again and again to the walking motif. Today, the convergence of global networks, online databases, and new tools for mobile mapping coincides with a resurgence of interest in walking as an art form. In Walking and Mapping, Karen O'Rourke explores a series of walking/mapping projects by contemporary artists. She offers close readings of these projects—many of which she was able to experience firsthand—and situates them in relation to landmark works from the past half-century. Together, they form a new entity, a dynamic whole greater than the sum of its parts. By alternating close study of selected projects with a broader view of their place in a bigger picture, Walking and Mapping itself maps a complex phenomenon.
Explorers
This publication brings together an outstanding ensemble of works by artist “explorers” selected from France’s national collections. Whatever the terrain — on land or at the depths of the ocean, real, virtual or even at the farthest limits of the subconscious — exploration remains a quest, accomplished thanks to and in spite of oneself, to redefine the contours of a world, whether it exists for real or in our imagination. In this respect, exploration is not so unlike art, which is largely inspired by it, both in terms of how it is done and its objective. From Voyage autour de ma chambre by Xavier de Maistre, whose detailed inventory encompasses just a single room, to Jules Vernes...

Egg: A Dozen Ovatures
“Endlessly surprising.… Like the egg itself, this book is a perfect, miraculous package.” —Mary Roach, best-selling author of Fuzz An unconventional history of the world’s largest cellular workhorse, from chickens to penguins, from art to crime, and more. The egg is a paradox—both alive and not alive—and a symbol as old as culture itself. In this wide-ranging and delightful journey through its natural and cultural history, Lizzie Stark explores the egg’s deep meanings, innumerable uses, and metabolic importance through a dozen dazzling specimens. From Mali to Finland, mythologies around the globe have invested the egg with powers of regeneration and fecundity, often ascribing...
