Middle of Nowhere

Laurent Mulot / Paul Ardenne

In 2003, in the singular setting of the ghost town of Cook, Australia, Laurent Mulot “implanted” the first Middle of Nowhere Contemporary Art Center with the only two inhabitants of this small town. This book is a monograph looking back on more than 20 years of research and encounters around the world, which gradually enabled the author to collaborate with astrophysicists on the notion of the “Middle of Nowhere”.

The work was analyzed by contemporary art historian and critic Paul Ardenne.

Captures

Alix Delmas / Paul Ardenne / Anne Bertrand / Barbara Wally / Jean-Jacques  Larrochelle

The first monograph on artist Alix Delmas.

This book revisits more than 200 works, including photographs, sculptures, architectural objects, videos, and drawings, accompanied by texts by Paul Ardenne, Anne Bertrand, Jean-Jacques Larrochelle, and Barbara Wally.

“From her beginnings in the late 1990s, Alix Delmas's visual work has been distinguished by what would become a major theme, a recurring, almost obsessive aspect: moving human bodies—her own body, those of her models, and by analogy, ours, the viewers—by positioning them in unexpected ways.” Paul Ardenne

To mark the upcoming publication of Alix Delmas' monograph, Captures, you can purchase a limited edition copy of the book accompanied by an original plaster sculpture, numbered and signed by the artist.
