Michael Asher : Renovation = Expulsion

description

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with a project by Michael Asher and various public housing organizations in Lyon, France, that began May 22, 1991. Features black-and-white images as well as writing by the artist and Frederik Leen. Also includes selected solo and group exhibitions and bibliography. Text in French and English.

"The project for le Nouveau Musée began as a response to their invitation to develop an artwork within the city during the period when the museum's exhibition spaces would be closed for renovation. ... This project consists of the recovery of all the cast iron in the heater furnaces which was being discarded during the new modifications. The cast iron is then shipped to a smelting plant where it can be melted down and re-cast (without adding any new metal) into small individual rectangular solid objects..." -- from publication's foreword.
