Tiré du site Internet http://elisabeth.blog.lemonde.fr: "Un artiste doit-il être humain ? Telle est la question en tête de la préface du livre d’artiste (éditions Xavier Barral) qui accompagne cette exposition et édité pour l’occasion. Norman Spinrad, auteur de science fiction, choisi par Annette Messager parle de "neotoma et l’oiseau jardinier."
The definitive monograph of Annette Messager, covering her multifaceted oeuvre from immersive installations to intricate taxidermy, now updated and expanded in collaboration with the artist. Annette Messager’s original use of form and poetic power of communication place her among Europe’s leading contemporary artists. Her work experiments with a wide variety of media, from painting and sculpture to assemblage, photography, film, and embroidery. From her early works exploring fictional autobiography to her commanding, "penetrable" installations, her work is at once intimate and universal, using familiar objects to challenge conventional outlooks.A strong, visual work that provides a clear picture of the artist’s creative development, this edition encompasses her recent work, including the installation Casino at the 2005 Venice Biennale. Including a thirty-four page introductory portfolio, the book is organized thematically and incorporates first hand interviews with the artist and analyses of individual works. Completed by a full exhibition history and extensive bibliography, this is a must-read for anyone interested in current artistic developments in Europe.
The French artist Annette Messager (b. 1943) is one of the most important personalities of the international art scene. Her extensive installations focus on the human body and its attributes. Fragmented and joined together again with thread to form something new, she thereby creates a cosmos that is both fascinating and radical.
For her new project "Interdictions," Annette Messager (born 1943) has drawn a series of pictograms forbidding various acts, taken from real-life examples found on the Internet or while traveling. Through her artistic manipulation, Messager invites the viewer to reconsider these signs as social markers.

"Annette Messager's (*1943 in Berck) series Les Tortures Volontaires (Voluntary Totures) from 1972 deals with the manifold procedures that women submit themselves to in order to look more 'beautiful.' The entire work is here presented for the first time, in orginal size and with an accompanying essay by the artist."--From publisher.
