Philippe Parreno

Meer over het boek

This publication accompanies a retrospective exhibition of Philippe Parreno's work, which began at Kunsthalle Zürich and has traveled to the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin. It emphasizes the exhibition at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College, curated by Maria Lind. The exhibition features a selection of Parreno's films and collaborative projects, including "June 8, 1968," which reinterprets Robert F. Kennedy's funeral train procession; "Zidane: A XXIst Century Portrait," a collaboration with Douglas Gordon; "Anywhere Out of the World"; and "No Ghost, Just a Shell," a project with Pierre Huyghe involving the rights to a Japanese manga character named Annlee. An imaginary trial will reconsider Annlee's rights, with testimonies from Parreno, Huyghe, Lind, and others. The exhibition is complemented by an extensive program of lectures, seminars, and moderated projects. Contributing texts by Lind, Tom Eccles, Simon Critchley, Jörn Schaffaff, and CCS graduate students are included in the catalogue, providing further insights into the themes and works presented.
