Summary:
Le terme "curating", qu'on traduit souvent par commissariat d'exposition, n'a pas de véritable équivalent en français. Dans cette conférence tenue à l'École normale supérieure de Paris, il apparaît que l'essentiel du travail du curator réside dans la discussion avec les artistes et la maïeutique de la pensée.

Summary:
Né en 1910 en Hongrie, László Elkán arrive à Paris en 1929. Attiré d’abord par la peinture, la musique et la mode, il commence à photographier en 1938 pour Marianne Magazine. Militant communiste, il rejoint dès 1941 les rangs de la Résistance sous le nom de Lucien Hervé. Proche de l’école française humaniste d’après-guerre, sa carrière prend un tournant décisif en 1949 lorsque, grâce au Père Couturier, ami de Matisse, il rencontre Le Corbusier. Photographe attitré de l’architecte jusqu’au décès de ce dernier en 1965, il collabore, entre autres, avec Alvar Aalto et Oscar Niemeyer, et est également reconnu pour ses images de l’abbaye du Thoronet et de l’Escorial. Son œuvre a été exposée dans de nombreux musées et galeries à travers le monde. Dans cet entretien, réalisé avec l'aide de Federico Nicolao, il revisite avec sincérité et passion ses années de travail.

Summary:
This striking catalog, designed by Irma Boom, showcases the spectacular work of world-renowned contemporary artist Olafur Eliasson.

The book features critical essays, an interview between the artist and curators, and sketches and preparatory drawings. It showcases the artist’s works in full color on black paper, emphasizing the luminosity of the show, accentuating the interplay of shadow and light, and rendering this volume a collectible artist’s book.
