Synopsis

Jean Scheurer est une référence dans le paysage artistique suisse , membre fondateur du groupe Impact en 1968, il amorce l'ouverture de la ville de Lausanne à l'art contemporain. Pour lui, le dessin constitue le meilleur moyen d'entrer dans le monde quotidien de l'artiste qui commence chaque journée par un dessin, petit ou grand, répétant immuablement les mêmes gestes . Ce livre présente son travail de dessinateur à travers des uvres récentes.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Born in New York in 1975, Taryn Simon is at the forefront of contemporary photography practice. Her artistic medium is based around three equal elements, photography, text and graphic design, which combined investigate the limitations of absolute understanding, examining the gaps between each element and how this can lead to disorientation and ambiguity.
In the last ten years she has created a suite of projects which deal with a number of theoretical and visual concerns. Her formal interest in arrangement and cataloguing has seen her experiment with different methods of presentation and display, particularly in A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters (2008-11) in which she travelled around the world researching bloodlines: splitting up each work in the final piece into three segments, she presented large portrait sequences of related individuals on the left, a text panel containing details and narratives in the centre, and 'footnote images' on the right of fragmented pieces of established narratives and other photographic evidence.

Simon has also skilfully and poetically tackled aspects of the underbelly of American life. Her 2009 project, Contraband, saw her systematically photograph thousands of items received through customs and the international postal service at JFK airport, categorising them into often grotesque and bizarre groupings. Published in close collaboration with the artist, this brand-new book will provide a complete overview of her practice to date.
