Schopenhauer affirmait que toute vérité franchit trois étapes : elle est d'abord ridiculisée, puis elle subit une forte opposition avant d'être considérée comme ayant toujours été une évidence. Roger Lourdier, un pensionnaire des Épis bleus atteint d'Alzheimer, a fait une mauvaise chute sur le coin de sa table de chevet. Il est mort. Il ne peut s'agir que d'un accident. Pourtant, un détail attire l'attention de la jeune Lisa qui accomplit son service civique au sein de la maison de retraite : le vieux monsieur n'a pas de numéro de Sécurité sociale. Comment est-ce possible, en France, aujourd'hui ? Lisa en informe alors son père, le lieutenant Andreani, qui, mis sur la touche par sa hiérarchie de Nancy pour un sérieux écart de conduite, est contraint de rendre des comptes à Francesca Rossini, la psy désignée pour juger s'il peut réintégrer son poste. Andreani, archétype du flic à l'ancienne, et son acolyte Couturier, sont déterminés à lever le voile sur ce mystère. Une erreur administrative ? Peu probable. Et puis, que signifie l'inscription SO. 3-02. AB+ , tatouée sur la nuque de la victime ? C'est du lourd. Il le sait, il le sent...
Marcel Breuer's Isokon table as a case study for the museum object In 1936, Hungarian-born Bauhaus designer Marcel Lajos Breuer (1902-81) used cut and bent plywood to fashion a prototype of a wide, soft-edged table for the Isokon Furniture Company in London. Today a fixture of the Bauhaus collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum and an emblem of the movement's furniture design sensibilities, Breuer's table presents an interesting curatorial conundrum: what happens to an everyday object when it becomes part of a museum collection This book investigates the material stories, social practices and various phases of commodification and ownership represented by this single object. Delving into the detailed history behind Breuer's table and the exhibition thereof, it also explores the institutional practices of the museum in its project of object archival.
