Annette Messager - Continents Noirs: Exposition au musée d'Art moderne et contemporain de Strasbourg du 13 octobre 2012 au 3 février 2013 - Hardcover
Documenting an installation of the same name, Continents Noir continues Annette Messager's (born 1943) sculptural evocations of unconscious energies and abject objecthood. The title evokes both Freud's famous definition of the unconscious (the "dark continent") and Swift's Gulliver's Travels, in which Gulliver reaches an island that travels in the air. Messager's installation consists of black, agglomerated, wrapped objects and architectural forms suspended from the ceiling. As if born from the eerie metaphysics of de Chirico, these fossilized "islands" appear to have descended from some remote galaxy. Other components of Continents Noir include floor fans animating suspended figures that are outlined in women's dresses, pieces of fabric and wigs; and the wrapped figures of birds, mice and geometric forms, arranged in enigmatic relations. Alongside reproductions of all the works, American sci-fi author Norman Spinrad contributes an essay on Messager's island worlds and objects.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Figure majeure de la scène de l'art contemporain, Annette Messager présentera à l'automne 2012, au musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg, ses dernières oeuvres dans un ensemble intitulé Continents noirs. Si depuis toujours son travail mêle le ludique à l'inquiétant, ses nouvelles pièces évoquent les tensions du monde actuel, un monde dont le temps nous échappe. Fragiles chevelures bougeant au gré de souffleries, chaussures abandonnées et petits objets du quotidien recouverts d'une sombre feuille d'aluminium froissé, dispersés sur le sol sous une bâche, éléments suspendus et mobiles se déployant telle une masse noire et menaçante, à la fois aérienne et terriblement pesante, ces installations et oeuvres oscillent entre le monumental et le miniature. Elles suscitent le sentiment de l'instable et du fugitif, et se font l'écho des tensions du monde d'aujourd'hui. Menaces écologiques et troubles des temps modernes transparaissent dans ses installations devenues autant de continents noirs. Traces ou vestiges d'un monde imaginaire plutôt inquiétant, les dernières créations d'Annette Messager nous plongent dans le mystère de leurs origines.À l'occasion de cet ouvrage, Annette Messager a demandé à l'écrivain américain Norman Springer d'écrire un texte évoquant son récent travail. Auteur de science-fiction, Springer dépeint dans ses romans et nouvelles des univers fantastiques au bord de la dérive. - Nombre de page(s) : 96 - Poids : 738g - Genre : Peinture / Dessin d'art / Gravure.
