Résumé:
In 1934, New York’s Museum of Modern Art staged a major exhibition of ball bearings, airplane propellers, pots and pans, cocktail tumblers, petri dishes, protractors, and other machine parts and products. The exhibition, titled Machine Art, explored these ordinary objects as works of modern art, teaching museumgoers about the nature of beauty and value in the era of mass production. Telling the story of this popular but controversial show, Jennifer Jane Marshall examines its history and the relationship between the museum’s director, Alfred H. Barr Jr., and its curator, Philip Johnson, who oversaw it. She situates the show within the tumultuous climate of the interwar period and the Great Depression, considering how these unadorned objects served as a response to timely debates over photography, abstract art, the end of the American gold standard, and John Dewey’s insight that how a person experiences things depends on the context in which they are encountered. An engaging investigation of interwar American modernism, Machine Art, 1934 reveals how even simple things can serve as a defense against uncertainty.

Résumé:
Narrative Spaces is about exhibition design. It places the profession in a broad theoretical and cultural-historical context and defines a conceptual framework that brings out the dynamics of the field. Exhibitions are narrative environments in which the designer has to translate often complex and scientific objectives into an engaging spatial narrative that can comprise a mix of wide-ranging media and communicational strategies. This publication defines the theatrical and scenographic principles of exhibitions as narrative space and holds out conceptual tools that can inspire a new approach to exhibition design.

Résumé:
Le 4 juin 2022 a été une date importante dans l’histoire de Marseille. Un nouveau musée a ouvert, installant, entre La Major et le Mucem, des œuvres nées de la nuit des temps et arrachées à la mer par Henri Cosquer. Ce musée extraordinaire est venu donner un projet, et un sens, à la Villa Méditerranée construite sur l’esplanade du Mucem comme signe d’une liaison des deux rives qui n’a jamais abouti. Pierre Fiastre, qui fut un acteur de cette histoire, fait raconter ici cette aventure par le bâtiment lui-même, qui s’exprime à la première personne. Un ensemble de croquis et de très belles photographies permet en outre de suivre son évolution visuelle. Un livre passionnant pour tous les amoureux de Marseille.
