VALINSKY, Rachel (ed.)
Guy de Cointet. Transatlantique

On ne présente plus Guy de Cointet, et du coup on peut en parler de plein de manières différentes. C’est ce que font dans ce livre Davide Balula, Eva Barto, Julie Béna, Jesse Chun, Jean-Pascal Flavien, Gordon Hall, Alan Reid.

Guy de Cointet is a major figure in the conceptual and performance art movements. Originally from France, he moved to the United States in 1966, and remained an active member of the California art scene until his death in 1983. His multidisciplinary work has been the subject of renewed attention over the past twenty years, and he is now recognized as one of the major figures in the Conceptual art movement that emerged in Los Angeles in the 1970s, having strongly influenced a number of prominent artists, including Paul McCarthy and Mike Kelley. For this book Rachel Valinsky invites seven artists based on both sides of the Atlantic to shed light, more vividly than ever, on the impact of his work: Davide Balula, Eva Barto, Julie Béna, Jesse Chun, Jean-Pascal Flavien, Gordon Hall, Alan Reid.
