Bernar Venet

Damien Sausset

Enrico Pedrini

The specific nature of Bernar Venet's practice as an artist has often been studied from the point of view of his sculptures and paintings. In this book, however, we felt it was necessary to consider his actions and performances - a series that goes back as far as 1961 - in order to highlight the questions regarding the phenomenon of art that Venet raised in different projects, all captured at the time in photographs. Pushing pictorial processes to the critical point, deconstructing the notion of the artist/creator, critiquing the display space of artwork, devising sound environments - this range of activity forms a corpus of actions that is presented chronologically, along with numerous documents, many published here for the first time.
