Summary:
In 1934, New York’s Museum of Modern Art staged a major exhibition of ball bearings, airplane propellers, pots and pans, cocktail tumblers, petri dishes, protractors, and other machine parts and products. The exhibition, titled Machine Art, explored these ordinary objects as works of modern art, teaching museumgoers about the nature of beauty and value in the era of mass production. Telling the story of this popular but controversial show, Jennifer Jane Marshall examines its history and the relationship between the museum’s director, Alfred H. Barr Jr., and its curator, Philip Johnson, who oversaw it. She situates the show within the tumultuous climate of the interwar period and the Great Depression, considering how these unadorned objects served as a response to timely debates over photography, abstract art, the end of the American gold standard, and John Dewey’s insight that how a person experiences things depends on the context in which they are encountered. An engaging investigation of interwar American modernism, Machine Art, 1934 reveals how even simple things can serve as a defense against uncertainty.

Ce musée extraordinaire est venu donner un projet, et un sens, à la Villa Méditerranée construite sur l’esplanade du Mucem comme signe d’une liaison des deux rives qui n’a jamais abouti. Pierre Fiastre, qui fut un acteur de cette histoire, fait raconter ici cette aventure par le bâtiment lui-même, qui s’exprime à la première personne. Un ensemble de croquis et de très belles photographies permet en outre de suivre son évolution visuelle. Un livre passionnant pour tous les amoureux de Marseille.

En s'opposant aux destructions révolutionnaires et en exposant les chefs-d'oeuvre sauvés, Alexandre Lenoir a été le précurseur d'une conscience patrimoniale. Mais en dehors de ces circonstances exceptionnelles, l'architecture n'a pas vocation à être transportée pour être exposée grandeur nature. Comment alors la montrer ? Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, en 1879, réussit à faire accepter l'idée d'un musée de moulages, comprenant aussi photographies et maquettes d'architecture, installé dans le palais du Trocadéro. Exposer l'architecture est aujourd'hui la vocation de la Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine, qui hérite de cette conscience patrimoniale et la projette dans l'avenir, en associant la conservation à la création, insistant sur l'idée d'un patrimoine vivant et d'une architecture contemporaine respectueuse du contexte où elle s'inscrit. Simon Texier, historien de l'architecture, raconte ici l'aventure fondatrice de la Cité - toute jeune institution culturelle qui réunit trois institutions préexistantes : le musée des Monuments français, l'École de Chaillot et l'Institut français d'architecture. Son ambition est immense : construire et faire partager par le plus grand nombre une culture architecturale et urbaine.
