Résumé:
Never before published in its entirety in English, The Address Book is a key and controversial work in Sophie Calle’s oeuvre. Having found a lost address book on the street in Paris, Calle copied the pages before returning it anonymously to its owner. She then embarked on a search to come to know this stranger by contacting listed individuals — in essence, following him through the map of his acquaintances. Her written accounts of these encounters with friends, family and colleagues — juxtaposed with Calle’s photographs — originally appeared as serial in the newspaper Libération over the course of one month in 1983. As the entries accumulate, so do the vivid impressions of the address book’s owner, Pierre D., while also suggesting ever more complicated stories as information is gifted, parsed, and withheld by the people she encounters. A multitude of details, from the seemingly banal to the potentially revelatory, are not only collaged into a fragile and strangely intimate portrait of Pierre D.; they also accumulate into a collection of miniatures of the people around him as they reveal something, often unknowingly, of themselves. Further layering The Address Book is Calle’s first person narrative in which she interrogates herself—her fears, obsessions, and assumptions—over the course of her pursuit. When Pierre D. learned about the work and its appearance in the newspaper, he threatened to sue (and demanded that Libération publish nude photographs of Calle as a reciprocal invasion of privacy). Calle agreed not to republish the work until after his death. In the almost thirty years since its original publication in France, The Address Book has never been published in full again, only described in Double Game, Calle’s monograph which converses with Paul Auster’s novel Leviathan, and again in the novel itself as a work thought up (but not executed) by the fictional character Maria whom Auster based on Calle. Part conceptual art, part character study, part confession, part essay, this book is, above all, a prism through which desire and the elusory, persona and identity, the private and the public, knowledge and the unknown are refracted in luminous and provocative ways.

Résumé:
Le livre Ruissellement présente une série d'images et un texte où l'écho de l'un résonne jusqu'à l'autre dans un amalgame de poésie visuelle et de réflexions à propos de la notion de lieu. Ruissellement et son texte accompagnateur, Notes pour un visiteur, constituent une sorte de méditation autour de l'attachement de l'auteur pour un lieu bien particulier : la terre familiale située dans le petit village de Saint-Hélène-de-Chester dans la région des Bois-Francs. Partant de la prémisse que toute tentative de description d'un lieu sera confrontée à l'incapacité des mots de décrire réellement l'essence de l'expérience qu'on en fait, Louis Perreault choisi d'écrire à propos de son sujet en faisant appel à la fois à la philosophie, à la fiction et à l'annectode autobiographique. Ainsi, les souvenirs des repas qu'amenait son grand-père les dimanche midi de retoruvailles familiales sont juxtaposés aux idées d'écrivains comme Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari, Elizabeth Grosz et Don Mckay. Sa tentative, il le reconnaitra lui-même à la fin de son texte ne pourra « qu’être un de ces probables échecs des mots et de la langue. » Entre essai et fiction, entre récit et poésie, le texte aborde les lieux en les décrivant comme une accumulation de relations et d'alliances entre des souvenirs et des amitiés, entre des expériences passées et présentes, entre soi et l'autre. La suite d'images est une accumulation de détails et d'observations captés autour du petit chalet situé en pleine forêt, au milieu de la terre familiale. S'y mêlent les signes visuels d'une habitation du territoire aux images plus contemplatives de détails de la nature et du territoire. Tout au long de la série, la distance entre les images et le texte varie, comme si le rapport entre le texte et les images faisait écho aux errements exploratoires du récit proposé. Comme dans le texte où l'auteur se permet des échappées vers des souvenirs fictifs, la série d'images se permet quelques avancées où la trame narrative est brisée, puis reconstruite, pour être à nouveau défaite. Le rapport des images devient alors fragmenté, une idée qui sous-tend l'ensemble du projet.

News becomes history as soon as it is reported. What fascinates me in talking about history is the paradoxical movement backwards while obviously propelling ahead with a story into the future.

Résumé:
News becomes history as soon as it is reported. What fascinates me in talking about history is the paradoxical movement backwards while obviously propelling ahead with a story into the future. The 15-year time period covered in this show is of a recent past, a past that still unites many New Yorkers in recognition of a city at once familiar and long gone. The NYC tabloids New York Daily News and New York Post serve as practical tools that unite the population around shared joys and fears; they help spread the city’s gossip and form its identity. Whether one buys them or not, a glance at the headlines while passing by a deli or waiting for a bus is enough to be connected to the diverse masses that make up their readership. Never mind if what is reported is mostly disaster or scandal. In retrospect, news before 9/11/2001 makes this megalopolis look like a quaint town full of petty crooks, with this accident or that occasional murder resulting in the loss of a single life. A rape in Central Park and a love triangle on Long Island were the two longest running news stories of New York in the 15 years leading up to the end of the millennium. In research for this show, three assistants and myself spent months in the Public Library copying 10,000 covers of the two tabloids – the outcome of their combined cover stories of 15 years. From these, I selected around 200 that were particularly poignant, or which formed an ongoing narrative, but most importantly, that made me smile with recognition. I lived in New York between 1989 and 2005, 15 years that roughly coincide with the time period of the show. As I never had a studio in the city, I developed a practice that relied heavily on communication instead: phone, Internet, publishing, travel, performance, ephemera, event production. This show draws on all of the above. During the two months of the duration of this show, I will create an environment that primitively simulates a newsroom of a major agency or newspaper. The material output of the agency will take the form of drawings, which for me are traces of activities such as reading, moving, talking, remembering and reporting. Together with a team of assistants, I plan to create 200 drawings inspired by the aforementioned tabloid covers and my personal references to them. The gallery will be turned into the studio I never had; at the same time, we will be producing art at a schedule more akin to a news agency than to that of an artist’s studio. Every day, there will be new art and old news on the walls.
