More than Nature Needs
How did humans acquire cognitive capacities far more powerful than any hunting-and-gathering primate needed to survive? Alfred Russel Wallace, co-founder with Darwin of evolutionary theory, set humans outside normal evolution. Darwin thought use of language might have shaped our sophisticated brains, but this remained an intriguing guess--until now. Combining state-of-the-art research with forty years of writing and thinking about language origins, Derek Bickerton convincingly resolves a crucial problem that biology and the cognitive sciences have systematically avoided. Before language or advanced cognition could be born, humans had to escape the prison of the here and now in which animal t...

Florian et Michael Quistrebert (English edition)
In their works, mingling colours, light, mass and illusions, Florian and Michael Quistrebert play back the main motifs of modern art, while perverting them, through a particular approach to matter. At the Palais de Tokyo, they are deploying a vast optical theatre in which experience of their paintings and videos is disturbed by the glittering and internal motions of objects. The Quistrebert brothers’ ambiguous pieces evoke the impossibility of grasping a painting. Their pictures are never what they show or, rather, never stabilize themselves around their subjects. The artists explore perception by handling it in various ways, which can be intellectual, optical, symbolic or else occult. Boo...

Florian et Michael Quistrebert
Mêlant couleurs, lumière, masse et illusions, Florian et Michael Quistrebert rejouent dans leurs œuvres de grands motifs de l’art moderne, en les pervertissant, à partir d’une approche singulière de la matière. Au Palais de Tokyo, ils déploient un vaste théâtre optique au sein duquel l’expérience de leurs peintures et vidéos est troublée par les brillances et les mouvements internes des objets. Paradoxales, les œuvres des frères Quistrebert évoquent l’impossibilité de la saisie du tableau. Leurs peintures ne sont jamais ce qu’elles montrent, ou plutôt ne se stabilisent jamais à l’endroit de leur sujet. Les artistes explorent la perception en la saisissant sous différents aspects, intellectuels, optiques, symboliques ou encore occultes. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle de Florian & Michael Quistrebert au Palais de Tokyo, « The Light of the Light », 19.02 – 16.05 2016
