Public Work 1996–2011 surveys his large-scale installations in public spaces.

Summary:
During the summer months of 2011, the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst inaugurated a sculpture project on the grounds of the Froh Ussicht estate in Samstagern, Zurich. The project was inspired by Bomarzo, the famous Italian Renaissance garden populated with fantastical and monstrous sculptures and follies (i.e. buildings constructed primarily for the embellishment of a landscape). Artists Pablo Bronstein, Liz Craft, Ida Ekblad, Geoffrey Farmer, Kerstin Kartscher, Ragnar Kjartansson, Fabian Marti, Peter Regli and Thiago Rocha Pitta all devised their own fantastical narratives in response to Bomarzo. The Garden of Forking Paths enlarges upon this innovative exhibition with reproductions of installed works, and essays by architecture and garden theorists and writers on the history of follies and the interaction between art and garden: Lars Bang Larsen, Michael Bracewell, Horst Bredekamp, Brian Dillon, Patrick Eyres, Heike Munder, Anthony Vidler and Catherine Wood.

Summary:
Manuel Alvarez Bravo (1902-2002) est une figure tutélaire de la photographie mexicaine. A bien des égards, une grande part de son œuvre se lit comme l’exact miroir d’un pays et plus encore d’une civilisation. Du Mexique, il a tout exploré, tout montré, tout interprété sans jamais céder au pittoresque : des sites mythiques de la civilisation maya aux fresques muralistes en passant par les drames de la révolution zapatiste (cf. L’ouvrier assassiné), il a passionnément interrogé l’essence, la texture, la subtile alchimie d’un pays et d’une nation dont il dresse le portrait philosophique définitif.
