la maison rouge: Tous cannibales, Chiharu Shiota, Stephane Thidet

la maison rouge
Until 15 May 2011

KW Institute for Contemporary Art: Cyprien Gaillard’s The Recovery of Discovery

KW Institute for Contemporary Art
27 March–22 May 2011

Preserving a monument goes hand in hand with destroying it. In order to preserve architecture, cultural monuments and relics, they are often re-located, allowing urban displacement to arise—leading to the disappearance of the concept of autonomous geography and archeology. The dislocation of a monument does not only alter the history of its original location, but also leads to a radical re-interpretation of the monument itself.

La Kunsthalle Mulhouse : Reading rooms / Salons de lecture

La Kunsthalle Mulhouse
3 February – 3 April 2001

A written work of art, a text that becomes a work of art?
