MUSEU D'ART CONTEMPORANI Artist.MUSEU D'ART CONTEMPORANI Artist, curator, and theorist Philippe Thomas took the principle of deconstructing authorship to heart. In 1987 he renounced his admit identity in favor of the agency "Readymades belong to everyone"; three years later, in the catalogue to his epic curatorial intend Feux Pales (Pale fire) at Bordeaux's Musee d'Art Contemporain, his name appears just three times--and solitary in the small print. Five years after Thomas's premature death, independent curator Corinne Diserens tackles the tricky piece of work of organizing a retrospective for the artist who wasn't. set objects, video documentation, photography, passages publicity materials, multimedia displays, and installations spanning the years 1978-95 contribute to to represent Thomas's creative and collaborative intends in all their self-effacing complexity. tribe 26-Nov. 26.
