Je déballe ma bibliothèque à la Biennale 1.618

Je déballe ma bibliothèque est un projet nomade et modeste dans son format qui consiste à activer une bibliothèque en résonance avec son contexte et/ou un propos. Elle est un lieu de rencontre, de dialogue et de partage, une expérience.

Activée l’occasion de la Biennale1.618 au sein d’Emotion Square sous le commissariat de Sibylle Grandchamp, elle s’articulera autour d’une sélection de livres de l’artiste du Land Art, Hamish Fulton, qui place l’expérience de la marche au coeur de sa pratique.

Richard Prince’s publications from 2012 to 2018

url-1 1

In 2012, Christophe Daviet-Thery and Viaindustriae co-published a catalogue Bibliothèque d’un amateur: Richard Prince’s Publications 1981–2012 .This diminutive, eponymous catalogue to an exhibition, curated by Christophe Daviet-Thery and taking place in Spoleto and Paris in 2012, seems to draw up an inventory of a “book-lover’s library”. But on closer inspection, the individual in question is the same person who designed these books: Richard Prince. Through their varied depictions of miscellaneous publications, Prince’s artist’s books and catalogues have gradually themselves become collection catalogues of other books. The phenomenon reflects an urge to  make public one’s private interior, and by extension, one’s personal life and inspirations.

In 2018 on the occasion of this new edition of Art Monte-Carlo, a set of  Richard Prince’s publications from 2012 to 2018 will be displayed.

Christophe Daviet-Thery at Albert Baronian Gallery

Map they could all understand (The Hunting of the Snark, Lewis Carroll, 1876)
A project by Christophe Daviet-Thery for Albert Baronian Gallery with:
Fiona Banner, Robert Barry , Daniel Gustav Cramer, Max Ernst and herman de vries.

In 1876, Lewis Caroll wrote The Hunting of the Snark, which Henry Holiday (1839-1927) illustrated with nine engravings including a map. One should observe it closely, as there is nothing to see. However (…) “this was a map they could all understand (…) a perfect and absolute blank.” In 1950, Max Ernst takes over the illustrations. The map is still present, displayed, spreading its glaring blank. If there is nothing to see, there is something to read: the Ocean. Naming to represent. Two maps as a starting point, to question the notion of representation, of its form and to reveal its diversity. And furthermore, questioning the relationship between images and language.
