La machine qui enseignait des airs aux oiseaux

La machine qui enseignait des airs aux oiseaux, published by the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal is a bilingual catalogue of the exhibition of the same title. “This exhibition was assembled along an open thematic framework that stems from an interest in how language is inscribed in bodies, gestures, and materials. More specifically, we sought to explore how objects and techniques used by this “embodied language” can act as interfaces, allowing for the transmission of affects and knowledge between individuals and time periods. – Mark Lanctôt and François LeTourneux The publication features: an essay by Krista Lynes, short texts by Nicole Brossard, Marie-Andrée Gill, Rawi Hage, Symon Henry, Joana Joachim, Michael Nardone, Madeleine Thien, Maude Veilleux and Jacob Wren, and a 44-page compilation, by Raymond Boisjoly, of excerpts from texts by Maya Deren, Jeanne Favret-Saada, Branden Hookway, Alfred Jarry, Catherine Malabou, Ferdinand de Saussure and Michel Serres.
