Résumé:
Three volume exhibition catalogue of exhibition titled 'Supermarket of the dead' at the Dresden State Art Museum in 2015. One of the most ancient forms of Chinese spirituality proves to be a living tradition, still widely practised everywhere in Chinese culture. Paper replicas of money and goods are ritually burned as offerings to win the favour of ancestors, gods and spirits. These paper models have recently undergone a kind of transformation, in which imi-tations of traditional objects have been superseded by replicas of consumer goods found in western shopping habits. An alter-native world made of paper, encompassing all today’s globalised brand consumption fetishes, Gucci bags, Prada shoes, mobile phones, Apple computers and even Heineken beer cans and life-size cars, is committed to the flames as a tribute to the ancestors. This three part catalog offers a glimpse of the exhibition and includes a volume of essays to accompany the works.

Richards, and Willem de Kooning, and students included Ruth Asawa, Robert Rauschenberg, and Cy Twombly.

Résumé:
ette paraphrase du fameux Ceci n’est pas une pipe de Magritte (1928) pose la question du rapport entre un objet – en l’occurence, une bouteille –, son statut et sa représentation. Le récipient vu par le mudac et celui de la collection du MVVV semblent de natures différentes. Pourtant, les deux sont le résultat de procédures culturelles légitimes, qui leur assurent un statut à part en tant qu’objets de collection. Leurs formes communiquent aussi sur d’autres plans : matériaux (qualités de verre, bois), aspect pratique (utilité, obsolescence, détournement), usage (traces, poussières, brillance). L’ouvrage met en valeur une soixantaine de pièces rassemblées par les deux institutions.

Résumé:
According to Frédéric Migayrou, the history of Japanese architecture has seen a permanent tension between the impossible reconstruction of tradition and the unceasing assimilation of modernity.
