Cette publication retrace au travers de ses archives, l'histoire et l'évolution d'un lieu particulier, – le Centre d'édition contemporaine –sa production et sa politique artistiques, et détermine sa place, son statut et son engagement dans le champ de l'art contemporain. La période couverte, 1989-2007, se situe très loin du Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine (fondé dans les années 1960) devenu, en 2001, le Centre d'édition contemporaine. Elle correspond à une phase d'ouverture et de développement à un art contemporain en mutation accélérée. Parcourant ces dix-neuf ans d'activité, cet ouvrage tente de les illustrer et de les commenter, de les cataloguer et de les décrire dans le détail.
