Summary:
Présent au MAMCO depuis l'ouverture de l'institution au public, L'Appartement est un espace particulier dans le parcours du musée. Il s'agit de la reconstitution de l'appartement de Ghislain Mollet-Viéville situé à l'origine au 26 de la rue Beaubourg à Paris. Occupé et aménagé par ce dernier de 1975 à 1991, ce lieu de vie était aussi un lieu d'échanges et d'exposition d'œuvres précisément choisies. L'art minimal et conceptuel y tenaient une place essentielle pas simplement à travers des œuvres mais aussi comme forme de vie. Désormais partie intégrante de la collection du MAMCO, L'Appartement propose, entre autres, des pièces de Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Claude Rutault, Art & Language, Joseph Kosuth, Lawrence Weiner et André Cadere. Cet ouvrage en est la présentation détaillée à travers un essai de Patricia Falguières, un entretien avec Ghislain Mollet-Viéville et une étude de chaque œuvre par Thierry Davila. Il montre aussi combien collectionner signifie inventer un type singulier de fréquentation de l'art.

Since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly a half century ago, artists throughout the world have adapted their latest technologies to art-making.

Summary:
While the achievements of New York City’s most renowned postwar artists—de Kooning, Pollock, Rothko, Franz Kline—have been studied in depth, a large cadre of lesser-known but influential artists came of age between 1952 and 1965. Also understudied are the early, experimental works by more wellknown figures such as Mark di Suvero, Jim Dine, Dan Flavin, and Claes Oldenburg. Focusing on innovative artist-run galleries, this book invites readers to reevaluate the period—uncovering its diversity, creativity, and nuances, and tracing the spaces’ influence during the decades that followed. Inventing Downtown charts the development of artist-run galleries in Lower Manhattan from the early 1950s to the mid-1960s, showing how the area’s multicultural spirit played a major role in shaping the artworks exhibited there. The book explores 14 key spaces in which styles such as Pop, Minimalism, and performance and installation art thrived. Excerpts from 33 revealing interviews with artists, critics, and dealers, conducted by Billy Klüver and Julie Martin, offer unique personal insight into the era’s creative milieu. Taken together, the book’s essays and interviews provide a distinctly new assessment of how downtown New York’s fertile environment nurtured an innovative art scene.
