Book excerpt: Dorian Gaudin focuses on the interplay of correspondences between the organic, psychical, and material worlds. Combining performance, sculpture and cinema, his oeuvre moves back and forth between automation and living systems. He mobilizes, dislocates, and mechanizes in an amalgamation of genres: absurdist theater, science fiction cinema, burlesque and Minimalism. In his exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo machines and social rituals, visual illusion and physical presence set in motion a mechanism which is also that of the emotions. Revealing the capacity of objects to generate narrative and elicit our emotional and intellectual involvement, his works remind us of the way fetishization of objects and technology governs our relationship with the world. Book Contents - “Incomparable Theatre”: The Splendid Ambiguity of Dorian Gaudin’s Machines” an essay by Kate Sutton - “The Mechanism of the Emotions”: interview between Dorian Gaudin and Julien Fronsacq About the authors - Kate Sutton is a writer currently based in Zagreb. In addition to writing articles and reviews for magazines including Artforum, Bidoun, Frieze, Ibraaz, and LEAP, Sutton is a regular contributor to Artforum.com. In 2013, she was recognized with an Art Writers Grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation. - Julien Fronsacq is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. He curated Dorian Gaudin’s solo show.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorian Gaudin privilégie les jeux de correspondances reliant les mondes organique, psychique et matériel. Combinant performances, sculpture et cinéma, son œuvre joue des allers-retours entre l’automatisation et le vivant. L’artiste met en mouvement, désarticule et mécanise, en conjuguant les genres (théâtre de l’absurde et cinéma de science-fiction, burlesque et minimalisme). Dans son exposition au Palais de Tokyo, machine et rituel social, illusion visuelle et présence physique mettent en œuvre une mécanique qui est aussi celle des sentiments. Révélant la capacité qu’ont les objets à faire récit et à susciter notre inclination, les œuvres de Dorian Gaudin nous rappellent la façon dont le fétichisme des objets et de la technique régit notre rapport au monde. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle de Dorian Gaudin au Palais de Tokyo, 03.02 – 08.05 2017

This book was released on 2018-10-10T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julien Creuzet is an artist, videographer, performer and poet. He links forgotten, minority histories and imaginary representations of distant places with the social realities of the here and now. His exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, which visit is rhythmed by a soundtrack composed specifically for it, takes the form of an immersive environment akin to a large public space suffused with the permanent state of tension that characterizes our era. It presents a multiplicity of different works and offers an array of disjointed narratives. Preferring anachronism to the linearity of established stories, Creuzet thus invokes poetry and politics to unfold a mobile imaginary that brings together different temporalities and geographies. Book contents - “An Interview or Not,” interview between Julien Creuzet and Yoann Gourmel - “Flashing Light-Elegy,” by Eva Barois De Caevel and Dorothée Dupuis.

Book excerpt: From a background rich in literature and the history of arts and architecture—as well as psychoanalysis, spiritism and magic—Ulla von Brandenburg explores the shaping of our social constructs with borrowings from theatrical codes and mechanisms, together with esoteric rituals and popular ceremonies. For her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo she has conceived a total, constantly evolving project inspired by the theatre, its imaginary realm and its conventions. With ritual as her starting point, she invites the public to experience an immersive reinterpretation of the themes, forms and motifs—including movement, the stage, colour, music and textiles—that fuel her oeuvre. Book published on the occasion of Ulla von Brandenburg’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, 21.02 – 13.09.2020

Book excerpt: In his film work, Jesper Just links images of an exceptional quality to sound and music. Enigmas disrupt the narrative, creating a poetry-liberating tension. The artist leaves spectators with their own doubts and emotions. The work conceived for the Palais de Tokyo consists of an audiovisual installation and a spatial intervention, which transforms both the space and the visitor’s journey. The One World Trade Center, an iconic and controversial skyscraper, is as much the scene of the films, as a character in itself. It functions as a phantom limb, while also standing for resilience. The films follow two characters: a young girl, who is not an individual but embodies the ideals of youth and feminity conveyed today, and a disabled child. The characters mirror, oppose and interact, to explore themes of ableism and agency as well as the boundaries of body and selfhood. Book contents - “Servitudes”: Jesper Just in conversation with Katell Jaffrès, curator of Jesper Just’s exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo - “In The Doubling of Dreams”: an essay by Fabien Danesi on Jesper Just’s film work - Notes on a selection of the artist’s films About the authors - Fabien Danesi is an art historian. He’s managing the programme of the Pavillon Neuflize OBC, the research lab of the Palais de Tokyo. - Katell Jaffrès is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. Published on the occasion of Jesper Just’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, “Servitudes”, 24.06 2015 – 13.09 2015

Book excerpt: Political, poetic, committed, profound: Jean-Michel Alberola’s oeuvre is an artist’s reaction to reality, human feelings and the state of the world. His exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo triggers a voyage that stimulates the eye and the mind as it maps the underappreciated diversity of his work. Associating bodily and geographical fragments with ambiguous statements and injunctions, this major and utterly distinctive figure on the French art scene shapes rebuses that challenge both our way of seeing and the role of art in society. And yet, in its intermingling of artistic speculation and political questioning, and of conceptualism, abstraction and figuration, Alberola’s unique, hard-hitting oeuvre is never without its touch of humour. Book contents - “Adding Up the Details: Chapter 1”: A text by Jean-Michel Alberola. - “The Crossing and the Passeur”: A conversation between Jean-Michel Alberola and Katell Jaffrès, curator of Jean-Michel Alberola’s solo exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo. - “He Who is Taking Himself by Surprise”: An essay by Dominique Païni. About the authors - Katell Jaffrès is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. - Dominique Païni is a critic, a writer and a curator.

Book excerpt: In their works, mingling colours, light, mass and illusions, Florian and Michael Quistrebert play back the main motifs of modern art, while perverting them, through a particular approach to matter. At the Palais de Tokyo, they are deploying a vast optical theatre in which experience of their paintings and videos is disturbed by the glittering and internal motions of objects. The Quistrebert brothers’ ambiguous pieces evoke the impossibility of grasping a painting. Their pictures are never what they show or, rather, never stabilize themselves around their subjects. The artists explore perception by handling it in various ways, which can be intellectual, optical, symbolic or else occult. Book contents - “Trance, Meditation, Madness”: An essay by Khairudin Hori, cocurator of Florian & Michael Quistrebert’s solo show at the Palais de Tokyo. - “Turbulent Infinities”: An essay by Hugo Vitrani, cocurator of Florian & Michael Quistrebert’s solo show at the Palais de Tokyo. - “The Substance of Painting is Light”: A conversation between Florian & Michael Quistrebert and Mara Hoberman. - Notes on a selection of the artists’s works. About the authors: - Khairuddin Hori is the deputy director of artistic programmes at the Palais de Tokyo. - Hugo Vitrani contributes to Mediapart and Beaux-Arts Magazine.

Book excerpt: Myths, fantasies and speculations lie at the heart of Marguerite Humeau’s work. Always treading the line between research and fiction, her projects result from in-depth investigations and collaborations with specialists and scientists. At the Palais de Tokyo and Nottingham Contemporary, Humeau is offering a series of unique physical and sensory experiences. Her exhibition FOXP2 is named for the gene whose mutation enabled the arrival of articulate language at the source of our humanity. Here the artist is re-enacting the origins of life and the development of conscious life forms. Imagining a world where giant elephants dominate the planet, Humeau has artificially designed creatures endowed with emotions and consciousness. Book Contents - A conversation between Marguerite Humeau and Bernard Buigues. - A conversation between Marguerite Humeau and Carl Safina. - “Who Knows?”: an essay by Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel, curator of Marguerite Humeau’s solo exhibition. About the authors - Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. - Bernard Buigues is a French explorer. He has organized numerous expeditions to the North Pole and Siberia.

Book excerpt: Ragnar Kjartansson’s singular work is a cross between performance and cinema, sculpture and opera, plein air painting and music. He often produces large-scale multidisciplinary projects and the production of his works often requires the collaboration of several participants―actors, musicians, friends and family members. Experimenting the mechanisms of theatre and the dramatic impulses of tragedy, Ragnar Kjartansson succeeds in bringing emotions out of melodramatic actions and in revealing the reality on which relies every interpretation. Through repetition, which is genuine motif in his work, Ragnar Kjartansson enlightens the theatricality and efforts at work in everyday life. Book contents - “Once Again”: An essay by Laure Fernandez. - “Only He Who Knows Desire”: A conversation between Ragnar Kjartansson and Julien Fronsacq. About the authors - Laure Fernandez is a researcher in performing arts. Her research projects focus in particular on the idea of theatricality in the contemporary visual arts. - Julien Fronsacq is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo and the curator of Ragnar Kjartansson’s solo exhibition.

Whether by crossing the Alps while pushing a capsule he used as his shelter, or by enclosing himself for a week in a rock, his—itinerant or static—expeditions require total physical commitment. The inhabitable sculptures which the artist conceives are laboratories allowing him to experience time, enclosure or immobility. They are the envelope that hosts the performer, an object that disturbs the landscape, and which exists through word of mouth. Abraham Poincheval’s two new performances at the Palais de Tokyo lead him to experience the temporalities of the animal and the mineral kingdoms. Book Contents - “Abraham Poincheval, Humanity in Suspension” an essay by Thomas Schlesser - “Living in the Heart of Things”: interview between Abraham Poincheval and Adélaïde Blanc About the authors - Thomas Schlesser is the director of the Fondation Hartung-Bergman (Antibes) and he teaches at the École Polytechnique (Palaiseau). He is the author of L’Univers sans l’homme – les arts contre l’anthropocentrisme (1755-2016) (Paris: Hazan, 2016). - Adélaïde Blanc is the coordinator of the artistic department at the Palais de Tokyo. She curated Abraham Poincheval’s solo show. A book published on the occasion of Abraham Poincheval’s solo show at the Palais de Tokyo, 03.02 – 08.05 2017

Book excerpt: An American Orwell for the age of Trump, Roy Scranton faces the unpleasant facts of our day with fierce insight and honesty. We’re Doomed. Now What? penetrates to the very heart of our time. Our moment is one of alarming and bewildering change—the breakup of the post-1945 global order, a multispecies mass extinction, and the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it. Not one of us is innocent, not one of us is safe. Now what? We’re Doomed. Now What? addresses the crisis that is our time through a series of brilliant, moving, and original essays on climate change, war, literature, and loss, from one of the most provocative and iconoclastic minds of his generation. Whether writing about sailing through the melting Arctic, preparing for Houston’s next big storm, watching Star Wars, or going back to the streets of Baghdad he once patrolled as a soldier, Roy Scranton handles his subjects with the same electric, philosophical, demotic touch that he brought to his groundbreaking New York Times essay, “Learning How to Die in the Anthropocene.”

Book excerpt: Generous and full of humour, the work of Laure Prouvost examines the relationships between language, image and perception, placing the visitors in situations of doubt and incomprehension, but also a wonder which is both intellectual and sensorial. These situations become immersive installations, inviting escapism, in a dialogue between films, sculptures, paintings, tapestries, performances. Her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, “Ring, Sing and Drink for Trespassing”, operates as an ode to diagonal lines, the transcending of limits and the joy of slipping over a fence to discover a wasteland or, a now-abandoned garden. Book Contents - “Little Bees Behind”: interview between Laure Prouvost and Daria de Beauvais. - “Laure Prouvost: Leaking Language”, by Karen Archey. - “Organs Without a Body”, by Emanuele Coccia. About the authors - Daria de Beauvais is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. She curated Laure Prouvost’s solo show. - Karen Archey is Curator of Contemporary Art, Time-based Media at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. - Emanuele Coccia is a lecturer at EHESS (Paris). He is the author of Sensible Life (2016), and Goods: Advertising, Urban Space and the Moral Law of the Image (2018). Forthcoming in English: The Life of Plants. A Metaphysics of Mixture. With Giorgio Agamben, he has edited an extensive anthology covering angels in Judaism, Christianity and Islam: Angeli. Giudaismo, Cristianesimo, Islam (2009). A book published on the occasion of Laure Prouvost's solo show at the Palais de Tokyo, 22.06 – 09.09.2018

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Arrests the heart with its stunning exploration of women who are put through a kind of hell in their determination to find true love . . . extraordinary.” —Angie Cruz, author of Dominicana Finalist for the 2019 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction Finalist for the 2018 Foreword Reviews INDIES Award Best Book/Most Anticipated Book/Recommended Read of 2018: Cosmopolitan.com, The Root, Electric Literature, Bustle, Book Riot, PEN America, PopSugar, The Rumpus, B*tch, Remezcla, Mitú, and other publications. Puerto Rican girls are brought up to want one thing: true love. Yet they are raised by women whose lives are marked by broken promises, grief, and betrayal. While some believe that they’ll be the ones to finally make it work, others swear not to repeat cycles of violence. This collection documents how these “love wars” break out across generations as individuals find themselves caught in the crosshairs of romance, expectations, and community. “A tough smart dazzling debut by a tough smart dazzling writer. Ivelisse Rodriguez is a revelation.” —Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of This Is How You Lose Her “[An] exceptional collection of short stories . . . Filled with memorable characters and sharp writing, this book will leave you breathless.” —Bustle “Rodriguez conceives exquisite misery and makes alchemy of hopelessness in her debut short story collection.” —Electric Literature “[A] perceptive exploration of love, heartbreak, and womanhood.” —The Seattle Review of Books “This reviewer kept returning to [these stories] for their freshness, urgency, and sheer heart.” —Library Journal “Throughout the collection, Rodriguez’s prose pulls you in, and her characters will stay with you even when the stories are only a few pages long.” —BUST “Both heartbreaking and insightful.” —Publishers Weekly “Stunning.” —MyDomaine
