NOTES ON THE EXHIBITION AND ITS ACTORS

Jean-Marc Poinsot, art critic and historian, offers a sharp selection of works and exhibitions from the last twenty years. He focuses on highlighting the critical significance of works that actively engage with the issues surrounding the arts exhibited in our societies. From Jan Leering and Harald Szeemann to Laurent Le Bon and Jens Hoffmann, from Daniel Buren and Michel Parmentier to Pierre Huyghe and Wesley Meuris in their creations in Paris, New York, London, Kassel and Venice, the author brings his distinctive perspective, at once sensitive, historical and theoretical that he has demonstrated in his previous books L'atelier sans mur and Quand l'oeuvre a lieu. Attentive to the way artists seize the freedoms that the exhibition format grants them, he also focuses on their use of language in and around their works (authorised narratives). On this basis, he goes on to define an expanded understanding of art's stakeholders.
