Summary:
This book is the first overall presentation of Silberkuppe. Since it’s founding in May 2008, Silberkuppe has become one of Berlin’s most outstanding independent spaces for contemporary art. This catalogue comes as a result of the exhibition “Under One Umbrella” (2010) in Bergen Kunsthall, a project that was the culmination of a series of institutional group exhibitions in which Silberkuppe extended their practice out from their own micro-space. It takes the form of a “photographic report” documenting all of Silberkuppe’s main exhibitions and events, as well as presenting several essays related to the projects.

Summary:
Née en 1911 à Paris, installée à New York depuis 1938 et jusqu'à sa mort en 2010, Louise Bourgeois a créé en plus de 60 ans un univers protéiforme qui, échappant à tous les « -ismes » du XXe siècle, est à la fois ancré dans une expérience personnelle singulière et ouvert sur l'histoire et l'histoire de l'art, exprimant la complexité et la permanence du désir à partir d'événements récurrents. Son œuvre, marquée par un vif intérêt pour la psychologie, sonde les émotions humaines : l'amour, la dépendance, la sexualité, le rejet, la jalousie et l'abandon.
