Anne & Patrick Poirier
Cette collection consacrée aux ateliers d'artiste dévoile, de façon quasi-journalistique, l'essence du lieu de création. Le quotidien d'artistes est documenté à l'aide de photographies et d'entretiens afin de restituer leurs pensées ainsi que l'atmosphère de l'atelier, du plus conventionnel au plus imprévu. Nous avons rencontré Anne et Patrick Poirier, couple d'artistes, ni peintres, ni sculpteurs, ni architectes, ni archéologues, et tout cela à la fois, parcourant le monde et leur mémoire, complices dans la création dont nous avons voulu découvrir le lieu où se joue le mystère : l'atelier. Nous avons tenté d'en approcher sinon les secrets, quelques éclats... de sourire, d'intelligence, de sensibilité, de savoir, par un dialogue avec eux, souvent vif, quelques fois nostalgique, toujours passionné. Nous vous en livrons ici quelques impressions, quelques bribes, nous n'avons rien dévoilé, nous avons tout juste visité la complexité et l'ouverture de ce qui fait la saveur particulière de toute aventure artistique, ici partagée.
Anne & Patrick Poirier
Anne and Patrick Poirier spent four years at the Villa M�dicis in Rome. They decided to work together right from the beginning of their stay.Abandoning their respective egos, they united their ideas and sensibilities, and their works, which were signed jointly, became the fruit of this common effort.They were no longer solitary artists working in their workshops in search of a personal language, but travellers, site surveyors, discoverers of different civilizations, religions, and cultures.Refusing the conventional roles of "sculptor" and "painter," they assumed those of "archaeologist" and "architect," roles that are interchangeable according to the circumstances.Theirs was no longer a question of formal research, but through an artistic approach grounded in the humanities, one of a voyage through memory, which they consider a fundamental value, the basis of any understanding between beings and societies.As children of war they denounced the fragility of civilizations and cultures, and their esthetic is often that of the fragment, the ruin, or the catastrophe. As interdisciplinary artists they do not exclude the use of any form of expression.German, English and French text.

Anne e Patrick Poirier. Ediz. italiana e inglese
French artists Anne and Patrick Poirier (born in 1941 and 1942 respectively) grew up during World War II and saw the destruction wrought by bombing, invasion, and collaboration. Though they have worked in a variety of media--photography, drawing, installation and monumental public sculpture--their oeuvre has always dealt with themes surrounding memory. This collection of 30 years of work is full of archeology, ruins, memento mori (including skulls holding miniature models of ancient monuments), disintegration, loss and remembering. As they articulate it, "we believe that ignorance or the destruction of cultural memory brings in its wake every sort of oblivion, falsehood and excess...and that we must, with all the modest means at our disposal, oppose this generalized amnesia and destruction." The Poiriers have been the subjects of solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, among others.
The Third Hand
Since the 1960s, a number of artists have challenged the image of the lonely artist by embarking on long term collaborations that dramatically altered the terms of artistic identity. In this book, Green offers a sustained critical examination of collaboration in international contemporary art.
