A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Edited by Nikolaus Hirsch, Carin Kuoni, Hesse McGraw, Markus Miessen; with contributions by Leonardo Díaz Borioli, Nikolaus Hirsch, David Kim, Cuauhtémoc Medina, Daniel McClean, Hesse McGraw, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Ines Weizman __________ The eighth volume of the Critical Spatial Practice series focuses on Jill Magid's ''The Barragán Archives,'' a multiyear project that examines the legacy of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Luis Barragán (1902 1988), and questions forms of power, public access, and copyright that construct artistic legacy. The archive of Barragán was split in two after his death--the personal archive is kept in his home in Mexico, which is now a museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site; while his professional archive was purchased in 1995 by Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman of the Swiss furniture company Vitra, from a New York gallerist. It is said that Fehlbaum bought it as a gift for his then fiancée, Federica Zanco. She is the director of the Barragan Foundation, which also holds rights to Barragán's name. For the past twenty years the archive, housed below the Vitra headquarters, has been inaccessible to the public. __________ With ''The Proposal'' Magid attempts to bring together Barragán's professional and personal archives by probing the architect's official and private selves, and the interests of various individuals and governmental and corporate entities who have become the archives guardians. Magid, with permission of the Barragán family, commissioned a small amount of Barragán's cremated remains to be transformed into a diamond. The stone, set in a gold ring, was offered to Zanco in exchange for the return of the professional archive to Mexico. Magid's artwork directly engages the intersections of the psychological and the judicial, national identity and repatriation, international property rights and copyright law, authorship and ownership, the human body and the body of work.
