Centre Pompidou
The design and history of Paris's iconic Centre Pompidou is explored in this absorbing and beautifully illustrated biography of a building.
The Making of Beaubourg
This is the story of how France's famed cultural icon, one of the most controversial and supremely public buildings of the century, was designed and built. Nathan Silver's detailed account of the Centre Pompidou -- still called Beaubourg by its designers, and by Parisians -- takes the form of a fascinating and insightful "building biography." Not just a book about a building but about the making of a building, this fresh, heterodox means of inquiry is a holistic reading of the intricate process of creating architecture in contemporary society that brings to light its human story, encompassing its stylistic, historical, technical, and social aspects. Beaubourg, Silver reveals, was unlike anything that had ever been built. A realization of ideals and aspirations of it architectural generation, a rethinking of fundamental precepts of design and construction, it took nothing for granted, and it has since become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Europe -- flaunting new principles that other architects have to come to terms with.
L'enjeu du Centre Georges Pompidou
Claude Mollard a écrit ce livre en acteur passionné qu’il est de l’opération du Centre Georges Pompidou sur le plateau Beaubourg. Il appartient à cette nouvelle génération d’administrateurs culturels, qui ne craignent pas de s’expliquer au grand jour. Son livre retrace la genèse — et la réalisation — du plus grand centre culturel, qui ait été conçu jusqu’ici. Il est aussi un témoignage unique sur les motivations, les ressorts intimes et les développements de cette grande ambition. Claude Mollard soulève un coin du voile, et nous invite à découvrir les mécanismes subtils de l’un des projets de la fin du XXe siècle, qui éclaire le mieux l’horizon de notre avenir culturel. Il faut lire ce témoignage, qui apporte des informations inédites, et qui constitue une leçon de pilotage pour les grandes réalisations de notre temps.
The Museum Establishment and Contemporary Art
This book provides an in-depth account of the protests that shook France in 1968 and which served as a catalyst to a radical reconsideration of artistic practice that has shaped both art and museum exhibitions up to the present. Rebecca DeRoo examines how issues of historical and personal memory, the separation of public and private domains, and the ordinary objects of everyday life emerged as central concerns for museums and for artists, as both struggled to respond to the protests. She argues that the responses of the museums were only partially faithful to the aims of the activist movements. Museums, in fact, often misunderstood and misrepresented the work of artists that was exhibited as a means of addressing these concerns. Analyzing how museums and critics did and did not address the aims of the protests, DeRoo highlights the issues relevant to the politics of the public display of art that have been central to artistic representation, in France as well as in North America.
