    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The collected writings of artist Marc Camille Chaimowicz, along with the stories behind them told by Alexis Vaillant.The collected writings of artist Marc Camille Chaimowicz, along with the stories behind them told by Alexis Vaillant.Marc Camille Chaimowicz (1946-2024) was an acclaimed visual artist known for his performances, installations and curatorial flair. He was also a writer. This volume, the first comprehensive collection of writings by the artist, includes seminal interviews, chitchats, jokes, performance reports, insightful statements and letters in essay form, as well as rare documents, such as early surviving leaflets, typewriter handouts and hard-to-find articles. Spanning 1971-2023, the book unlocks the work of an artist considered to be a refreshing role model for a new generation of culture mavens and style savants. Drawing from literature, modernist architecture, interior design, art theory, glam rock and camp culture, the collection reveals the artist's inner self alongside the art, social fl nerie and the goings-on of his time. Entertaining and witty, the texts stand out brilliantly with their early acumen and inclusivity, while setting a new template for an expression of queerness through writing. With access to Chaimowicz's personal material and photographs, curator and editor Alexis Vaillant is a guide to the artist's writings. Vaillant provides behind-the-scenes commentary and context-a time capsule of pleasure featuring Andy Warhol, Des Esseintes, Josef Frank, David Bowie, Vito Acconci, Eileen Gray, Alex Kapranos, Jean Cocteau, Elsa Schiaparelli, Jean Genet, Bob Dylan, Emma Bovary and Roger Cook, among others. This book presents readers with an in-depth look into Chaimowicz's quixotic shaping of his written work, which comes to life as a knowing and longing prose for the twenty-first century. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"The exhibition When things cast no shadow consisted of two parts one taking place by day, one by night. The daytime part of the 5th Berlin Biennale presented mainly new productions by 50 artists of four generations shown at four different venues--at the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, the Neue Nationalgalerie, the Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum and the Schinkel Pavilion. Many of the participating artists conceptualized and built their commissioned artworks explicitly in response to the specifically designated exhibition site. Already a few weeks prior to the official opening the first in a series of five solo exhibitions (curated by artists participating in the biennial) was launched at the Schinkel Pavilion as part of the 5th Berlin Biennale. Throughout the duration of the biennial these exhibitions gave insights into ways in which younger artists deal with topics such as the legacy of previous generations, modernity or various exhibition formats." -- publisher''s statement. Fine. Two volumes, both with covers and contents clean and unmarked.

Format in-4°( 26 x 21 cm ) ( 812 gr ). ------- 185 pages. ************************ "" Café du Rêve marque un point déterminant de l uvre deMarc-Camille Chaimowicz, puisqu il est la concrétion de nombre de thématiques etrecherches formelles du travail de l artiste. Ce livre d artiste de presque deux centspages rassemble en effet de nombreuses compositions et propositions agissant à lamanière d un vocabulaire permettant le retour sur des uvres passées (performances,peintures, maquettes de foulard, photographies). On y retrouve entre autres les ligneset volutes végétalisantes qui oscillent sans cesse entre pattern et abstraction ou encoreles vues d intérieur mettant en dialogue les créations de l artiste avec celles d artistesdes avant-gardes. À ce titre, il est un excellent exemple de la manière dont Marc-Ca-mille Chaimowicz détourne les codes des genres les plus variés afin d y adjoindre unelangueur toute personnelle Fruit de plusieurs années de travail, Café du Rêve naît avant tout du désir de faireun livre, la forme choisie soutenant l ambition plus vaste d établir une uvre prismatiqueen perpétuelle réinvention. Il s agit de s approprier un objet qui participe d une expé-rience quotidienne, de façonner un artefact inédit empreint pourtant d une douce fami-liarité. Au-delà, la lettre semble agir comme leitmotiv au sein de la réflexion esthétique del artiste ; et plus qu ailleurs, la plurivocité de la lettre, son aptitude à contenir l écriture desoi et sa puissance d évocation sont suggérées dans Café du Rêve .Enfin, la correspondance est pour lui évocation du voyage, et Café du Rêve est perçupar beaucoup comme un journal de voyage rêvé. Elle se fait également berceau d uneréflexion sur le temps du voyage et sur la figure de l artiste, montrée au travers de per-sonnalités multiples.C est précisément l appropriation de l écrit et de l écriture telle qu elle est menée parMarc-Camille Chaimowicz que ce soit la lettre ou le livre qui conduira l analyse ci-après. Marc-Camille Chaimowicz souligne l importance du précédent que fût Dream, an Anecdote , véritable découverte de l espace du livre, au sein duquel il a véritable-ment pu « faire état à l extérieur des préoccupations de [son] intérieur . Cette première expérience avec l objet imprimé sera un étalon lors de la réalisation de Café du Rêve, au point d être reprise lors d une des dernières publications de l artiste : The World of Interiors, appuyant une fois de plus la cohérence de son uvre. Il s agit à l origine pour l artiste d « une façon de voir comment un livre [peut] être fait, construit et vu Pour-tant, l envie de Marc-Camille Chaimowicz de faire un livre ne peut être réduite à celle d'écrire ou d expérimenter une forme encore inédite et s apparente plutôt au désir de fabriquer un livre comme objet manipulable, produit en série et issu d un savoir faire. Le livre, au même titre que le paravent ou le papier peint, soutient le propos de Marc-Camille Chaimowicz dans sa recherche d une pratique artistique intriquée avec son expérience quotidienne. Pour lui, le besoin de créer cet objet jusqu ici inédit répond moins à une nécessité matérielle qu à l envie de concrétiser ce que peut être son regard sur un objet quotidien, éprouvé par lui avant de l être par tous.*************** ref 116fd.
