Summary:
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso, the Parisian museum dedicated to the painter invited Sophie Calle to take over the Hôtel Salé. Confronted with the figure of one of the masters of modern art, she chose to completely empty the spaces of the museum – Picasso was expelled! – in order to install her furniture and personal objects there, on the upper floors, and to unfurl, on the ground floor, a fresco imagined as an echo of the famous Guernica but composed like an immense collage of the works she has been exchanging for years with other artists. To accompany this exhibition, ''À toi de faire, ma mignon,'' Sophie Calle has imagined a work in which she lists her ''rendezvous'' with Picasso. Testimonies from guards, paintings packed during confinement, etc. : so many stories presented in this art of storytelling so particular to Sophie Calle. Designed like an artist's book with its intimate format and its alternations of Bible and creative papers, Picalso immerses the reader in the funny, poetic and singular universe of the artist. An essay by Yve-Alain Bois, entitled Picassiette , recontextualizes these ''rendezvous'' in the work of Sophie Calle and revisits her favorite themes of memory, lack, disappearance or even absence.

Summary:
Dóra Maurer (born 1937, lives in Budapest) is considered a prominent figure on the Hungarian neo-avant-garde scene. She is one of the artists who have been taking progressive paths outside of Hungary’ s official state cultural policies since the 1960s. Her work in the mediums of print making, photographs, film, performance art, and painting features a conceptual approach. Major aspects are perception, movement, displacement, and transformation. In the early years of West-Germany, abstract art was introduced as a political new beginning in that it represented the so-called open society. Accordingly, numerous collections in German museums are oriented toward this, including the one at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, whose building was designed by the US-American architect Philip Johnson. While abstract art in the West was considered " free of ideologies " and instrumentalized as such, abstraction in countries such as Hungary, which was part of the Eastern bloc at the time, certainly had an “ oppositional” connotation. Due to both the non-representational nature of her works as well as her contacts and travels in the West prior to 1989 (permitted thanks to her Hungarian-Austrian dual citizenship), Maurer occupies a special position within the Hungarian art world, which in those days was mainly dominated by Socialist Realism. In her experiments in photography and film in the 1970s, as well as in her abstract, geometric works based on a process of displacement, there are obvious parallels to Western European and US-American post-war art. In fact, however, her oeuvre is inconceivable without her experience of life under the official Hungarian system during the socialist period.

Summary:
This artist’s book is a somewhat fierce picture book showing a personal collection of ephemera collages made of material from the turn of the millennium. It contains 203 photocopies of collaged items collected by the artist between 1998 and 2003 in London, Copenhagen, Amsterdam and elsewhere. ''High Capacity'' is a compressed image of that time. Until 2016, the loosely sorted material had been neatly filed in moving boxes, whereupon the artist took action: “‘Either dump it or keep it,’ I kept saying to myself. I grabbed a stapler and gave it a try.” What you see here reveals his many varied interests: receipts, torn up checks, packaging of all sorts, drawn instructions, snapshots, vinyl lettering, and other textual imperatives. The way the book is printed also yields a fascinating, yet raw, facsimile of these photocopied collages.

Summary:
À l’occasion du 50e anniversaire de la disparition de Pablo Picasso, le musée parisien dédié au peintre a invité Sophie Calle à investir l’hôtel Salé. Dans le cadre de cette exposition, Sophie Calle a choisi de mettre en scène la « succession » de ses biens. L'hôtel des ventes Drouot s’est alors prêté au jeu en procédant à l’établissement de 482 lots parmi les biens personnels de l’artiste : de son mobilier à sa vaisselle, de ses animaux empaillés à sa collection d’œuvres d’art, tous publiés dans un catalogue comme il est d’usage lors d’une vente aux enchères. Pour compléter ce geste artistique, l’artiste a imaginé un « Erratum » au catalogue de l’hôtel Drouot : de format identique, cet erratum révèle d’autres clés de lecture. Sophie Calle a choisi plus de 100 pièces, parmi ses biens, dont elle dévoile l’histoire cachée. Des objets offerts ou échangés avec d’autres artistes, ou encore collectés au cours de ses voyages ou reçus en héritage : au fil de ces histoires se dessine un autre récit qui raconte des moments de vie privée, des rencontres amoureuses ou artistiques, des secrets parfois. Le catalogue Drouot et son Erratum sont proposés ensemble, tels les révélateurs de deux facettes d’une vie.

Summary:
"Contemporary Hyloshapes" establishes a relationship between contemporary sculpture (produced over the last 25 years) and typography, as an exercise of translating visual language from a medium to another, between scales, colaborators and methodologies. The project initiates in February 2020 with a collection of 205 sculptural works by 34 artists from Europe, Asia and America. Among almost 500 sculptures, a final selection of artworks was made in close collaboration with the art historian and curator Alberto Arribas. Through the abstraction of the outline of these artworks, a series of characters (or sculptural language) from A to Z was developed. By speculating and overlaying these shapes, almost as an attempt to merge processes and ways of doing from scultpture, architecture, and visual communication, very particular icons emerged, which are subtly recognizable to the human eye.
