Fruits des observations et réflexions d'un des leaders les plus en vue du secteur culturel, Simon Brault, Le Facteur C explique l'émergence spectaculaire des préoccupations culturelles dans l'arène publique au cours de la dernière décennie.

Pur produit de l'Occident qui s'exporte aujourd'hui avec fracas, le musée est en réalité une institution coupée de la vie, qui s'est constituée en mythologie, voire en uchronie (monde privé d'histoire). S'il témoigne de notre besoin d'une référence identitaire stable, il n'en est pas moins en porte-à-faux avec les réalités sociales contemporaines. Doit-il fermer ses(...)

Résumé:
Pur produit de l'Occident qui s'exporte aujourd'hui avec fracas, le musée est en réalité une institution coupée de la vie, qui s'est constituée en mythologie, voire en uchronie (monde privé d'histoire). S'il témoigne de notre besoin d'une référence identitaire stable, il n'en est pas moins en porte-à-faux avec les réalités sociales contemporaines. Doit-il fermer ses portes ou peut-il se rénover ? Dans le sillage des différentes utopies proposées à la fin du XXe siècle, les récents musées de société tentent d'échapper à toute forme de dogmatisme en pratiquant l'ouverture et la mise en question délibérée.

Résumé:
Born as a vehicle for national propaganda, the art biennial today has become an outsize phenomenon mobilizing not only artists, curators and gallerists but sponsors, celebrities and politicians, commanding huge press attention and deciding the careers of artists worldwide. For a city to host a biennial today has colossal ramifications. This anthology on the art biennial gathers previously published seminal texts from around the world alongside commissioned contributions from the leading scholars, curators, critics and thinkers today--among them Carlos Basualdo, Daniel Buren, John Clark, Okwui Enwezor, Bruce Ferguson, Milena Hoegsberg, Ranjit Hoskote, Caroline A. Jones, Jakouba Konaté, Gerardo Mosquera and Rafal Niemojewski. Tracing the genealogy of the standard exhibition format and examining some of the most famous examples of the twentieth and twenty-first century this reader explores the artistic, theoretical, and political ambitions of such large-scale exhibition projects.

Résumé:
Architecture on Display is a research initiative that consists of interviews with each of the living directors of the Venice Biennale for Architecture. The origins of the architecture biennale are generally traced to the 1970s, when it emerged from under the umbrella of the larger Venice Biennale, which was itself established in 1895. Since then it has become one of the most prestigious forums for architectural discourse today, and has served as a model for a range of international exhibitions. The book explores the biennale through the directors who established its particular discourse, including Vittorio Gregotti, Paolo Portoghesi, Francesco Dal Co, Kurt W Forster, Massimiliano Fuksas, Hans Hollein, Richard Burdett, Deyan Sudjic, Aaron Betsky and Kazuyo Sejima, as well as the current president of the Venice Biennale, Paolo Barrata. These conversations do not seek to recapitulate the exhibitions themselves but rather explore the questions that these exhibitions raise, with the hope of offering a model for future curatorial endeavours.

Résumé:
Museums of contemporary art are expanding and in crisis. They attract ever-larger audiences; architects constantly redesign them; and the ever-swellling ranks of artists are producing a greater quantity of art than ever before. Meanwhile, museum funds are dwindling amid economic crisis and an overheated art market. The question of which art is to be collected has also become a more openly discussed topic. How do curators meet these challenges? How do artists view their relationships to museum? How do practitioners navigate between ideas, ideals and realities? This publication gathers interviews with artists, architects and curators of the contemporary art world, such as John Baldessari, Ute Meta Bauer, Suzanne Cotter, Bice Curiger, Chris Dercon, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Michael Govan, Jacques Herzog, Thomas Hirschhorn, Philipp Kaiser, Rem Koolhaas, Lars Nittve, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Thierry Raspail, Tobias Rehberger and Beatrix Ruf, among others.
