Choreographing exhibitions
En 2008, le centre d'art contemporain La Ferme du Buisson accueillait le commissaire d'exposition Mathieu Copeland pour la présentation remarquée d'Une Exposition Chorégraphiée. Composée exclusivement de mouvements interprétés par trois danseurs pendant deux mois, l'exposition fit date dans l'histoire des relations entre danse et arts plastiques. 0Au-delà de l'expérience unique qu'elle a constituée pour ceux qui l'ont vécue, Une Exposition Chorégraphiée a nourri une multitude de questions qui ont fait leur chemin pour donner naissance à un ouvrage intitulé Chorégraphier l'exposition. 0Le livre réunit plus d'une trentaine d'artistes plasticiens, chorégraphes, musiciens, cinéastes, théoriciens et commissaires d'exposition internationaux. Formidable panorama des relations entre chorégraphie et exposition, il orchestre une polyphonie de points de vue à partir de cinq prismes : la partition, l'espace, le temps, le corps et la mémoire.

The Anti-museum
Since the early 1960s, artists have sealed off spaces in galleries and museums as a radical artistic gesture. These uncompromising works confront the viewer to a closed exhibition space, encouraging instead a physical, sensitive, or conceptual experience of each. These exhibitions are now re-explored at Fri Art. One after the other, they give structure to a retrospective that is written in time, as each work will successively close the exhibiton space, between August 6 and November 19, 2016. The retrospective's last day will be marked by the re-opening of the exhibition space. Festivities will include the launch of an important multidisciplinary, historical, and prospective anthology dedicated to radical artistic engagement: 'The Anti-Museum.' Exhibition: Fri Art - Centre d'art de Fribourg / Kunsthalle Freiburg, Switzerland (05.08-19.11.2016).
Gustav Metzger: Writings
Bringing together more than 350 texts written between 1953 and 2016, this comprehensive volume establishes artist and activist Gustav Metzger (1926-2017) as one of the towering figures of the 20th century, a long-overdue recognition of Metzger's influential vision. Renowned for his use of unstable materials and chemical reactions to create artworks that embody processes of change, destruction and renewal, Metzger was also a prolific writer, theoretician and satirist. His interest in technology and science and his anti-nuclear activism influenced his development of the concepts of auto-destructive and auto-creative art, terms he coined with his manifestos on "Auto-Destructive Art" in 1959 and...

The Archive as a Productive Space of Conflict
What are the processes that enable archives to become productive? Conventional archives tend to be defined through the content-specific accumulation of material, which conforms to an existing order or narrative. They rarely transform their structure. In contrast to this model of archival practice and preservation, the conflictual archive has an open framework in which it actively transforms itself, allowing for the creation of new and surprising relationships. Illustrating how spaces of knowledge can be devised, developed, and designed, this archive reveals itself as a space in which documents and testimonies open up a stage for productive dispute and struggle. Exploring nontraditional archi...

One, No One and One Hundred Thousand
This publication documents the 2016 exhibition “One, No One and One Hundred Thousand,” which took place at Kunsthalle Wien, Karlsplatz. Curated by Luca Lo Pinto, the show took its inspiration from Oulipo, a literary strategy whose objective was to propose new “structures” for writing that were mathematical in nature. Using A Thousand Billion Poems, a 1961 book by Raymond Queneau, one of Oulipo's founders, as a manifesto for the exhibition, nine artists were invited to create new works in a display that would change depending on the wishes of the visitor. Investigating and reformulating the conventional structure and limitations of exhibition making, “One, No One and One Hundred Tho...
