CENTRE D'ART CONTEMPORAIN GENÈVE – 1974-2017
スイスの現代美術館「ジュネーブ現代美術センター(Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève)」の歴史を辿る一冊。本書は、1974年の創設から今日に至るまでの「ジュネーブ現代美術センター」の歴史のハイライトを追体験するために行われた歴史学的研究の成果である。2部構成、約500ページに及ぶ豊富な図版を通じて、このフランス語圏スイス初の美術館が歩んできたユニークな歴史とそれを彩る数々の優美な瞬間を追う。
第一部は、同センターの主要な時代に焦点を当て、ビデオアートや実験映像の研究者であるフランソワ・ブービエ(François Bovier)と、学者、研究者、キュレーターであるアデナ・メイ(Adeena Mey)による詳細なエッセイを収録。
より個人的な視点から同センターの歴史を紹介した第二部は、現館長のアンドレア・ベリーニ(Andrea Bellini)が前任の館長たちやヴィジュアルアーティストのシルヴィ・ドゥフラウイ(Silvie Defraoui)、パフォーマンスアーティストであり彫刻家、画家、評論家でキュレーターのジョン・アムレーダー(John Armleder)、ヴィジュアルアーティストのオリヴィエ・モセ(Olivier Mosset)など、同センターと強い絆で結ばれてきた重要な芸術家たちに行った、一連の非常に興味深いインタビューで構成されている。
巻末に収録されている展覧会や文化的なイベントを網羅した年表からは、同センターが創設以来展開してきたプロジェクトの多様性と質の高さを存分に汲み取ることができる。同センターの歴史が1970年代以降のアートの偉大な歴史とどのように呼応しているかが示されていることも本書の魅力の1つであろう。
This work is the result of a historiographical research work carried out to revive the highlights of the Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève since its creation in 1974 to the present day. Articulated in two sections, the book traces, through nearly 500 richly illustrated pages, the singular history and the moments of grace of the first Kunsthalle of French-speaking Switzerland.
The first part, an in-depth essay by François Bovier and Adeena Mey, focuses on the major eras of the institution, while the second part gives a more personal history of the life of the institution, which consists of a series of exciting talks led by Andrea Bellini, the current director of the Centre with its predecessors, as well as with major artistic figures who have shared a strong relationship with the Centre, such as Silvie Defraoui, John Armleder or Olivier Mosset.
Finally, an exhaustive chronology of exhibitions and cultural events reveals the diversity and high quality of the projects developed by the Center since its inception. This book shows how the history of the Center has echoed the great history of art since the 1970s.
