Tractatus Logico-Catalogicus


When one gets involved in art, one does nothing but move from catalogue to catalogue. – Marcel Broodthaers

An object of documentation, registration, mediation, reflection, promotion and valorization, the exhibition catalogue plays a crucial role in the world of art. [..] This exhibition, which borrows its title from a work by Marcel Broodthaers, brings together for the first time a selection of artworks—from 1954 to the present day—in which the catalogue is the principal object or subject. These stances elaborate a critical reflection on the catalogue that aims to question its forms, functions and uses.

With works by: Marcel Broodthaers, Jan Dibbets, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Matthew Higgs, Douglas Huebler, Yves Klein, Brandon Lattu, Gilles Mahé, Thérèse Mastroiacovo, Edward Ruscha, Klaus Scherübel, Seth Siegelaub, Ron Terada, Philippe Thomas (Les ready-made appartiennent à tout le monde) and Johannes Wohnseifer
