Pierre Leguillon: the Museum of Mistakes
An artist's mobile museum in the tradition of Robert Filliou and Marcel Broodthaers Founded in Brussels in 2013 by Pierre Leguillon (born 1969), the Museum of Mistakes is a traveling exhibition composed of postcards, record sleeves, posters, pieces of fabric, ceramics, folk art and children's drawings. This book, the first on the museum, also includes items deemed too small or fragile to take on tour.
The Gallery of Memory
This book takes as its starting point a striking paradox: that the antique tradition of the art of memory -- created by an oral culture -- reached its moment of greatest diffusion during an age that saw the birth of the printed book.
Bernard Frize
The painter Bernard Frize has used a phrase from William Henry Fox Talbot, the inventor of photography, to describe his approach to painting. The term "latent pictures" implies Frize's own process of finding the patterns that lie beneath both nature and art. Frize has developed a visual language of such startling beauty that he demands to be better known. This book is an important addition to I contemporary art.
Restoration as Fabrication of Origins
The aim of this publication is to clarify the relationships between material restoration and politics in Italian Renaissance art. The focus of this research is on the question of origin as a foothold for political, patrimonial, and cultural identity. These claims were enacted within a system which, rather than restoring the initial forms and meanings of existing objects, remodeled the past according to new identity requirements: spaces were reorganized, and works of art invested with new meanings. Their material and aesthetic reality was thus transformed and redefined. The aim is therefore to analyze the potential physical modifications of these artefacts in light of their symbolic recoding.

The Spectacular In and Around Shakespeare
This volume addresses the economy of the spectacular in and around Shakespeare’s plays, both in early modern England and in late-twentieth/twenty-first-century adaptations and appropriations. Apart from addressing issues such as (im)plausibility, tours de force arousing amazement, and excess for the sake of entertainment, it raises the question of intentionality—what is behind the spectacular? Is there always a manipulative purpose? How far-reaching are the political and ideological stakes? The contributors to this volume investigate a broad spectrum of particular phenomena: the spectacular sound effects and pyrotechnics displayed for the opening of the Globe theatre with Julius Caesar o...
Art and Curiosity Cabinets of the Late Renaissance
For the first time, the pioneering book that launched the study of art and curiosity cabinets is available in English. Julius von Schlosser’s Die Kunst- und Wunderkammern der Spätrenaissance (Art and Curiosity Cabinets of the Late Renaissance) is a seminal work in the history of art and collecting. Originally published in German in 1908, it was the first study to interpret sixteenth- and seventeenth-century cabinets of wonder as precursors to the modern museum, situating them within a history of collecting going back to Greco-Roman antiquity. In its comparative approach and broad geographical scope, Schlosser’s book introduced an interdisciplinary and global perspective to the study of ...
