Description
Summary:When the Musée d?Art Moderne de Paris asked Ari Marcopoulos to curate an exhibition around their acquisition ?Brown Bag?, a short film on skateboarders in New York that he made in 1993, he was given access to the museum?s collection of over 15,000 works. He looked for themes related to the body, injuries, and architecture, along with what he perceived as challenging and puzzling works. Some of the artists were already familiar, while others were new to him. The process was not so different from his process as a filmmaker and photographer: so much of his work is about finding things. This book is a new look at photographs from around the time Marcopoulos shot ?Brown Bag?.
