With artist and curator Marie-Pierre Bonniol, on the occasion of the exhibition La Bibliothèque de Brautigan presented at CEAAC from March 22 to June 8, 2025.
On the occasion of the exhibition La Bibliothèque de Brautigan, presented at CEAAC from March 22 to June 8, 2025, and a series of three lectures on books in their relationship to affects at Bnu, artist and curator Marie-Pierre Bonniol presents this American library of deposited manuscripts and unique books, which was initially fictionalized (Richard Brautigan, 1971).
Evoked by both Jean-Yves Jouannais (Artistes sans oeuvres, 2009) and David Foenkinos (Le Mystère Henri Pick, 2016) as a library of rejected manuscripts, this talk aims to present this library as a place of unconditional welcome for closed forms of affect expression, in recognition of the energeia that carried their completions and the joy presiding over their sharing, inscribing it as a place of address, preservation, love and consolation.
Lecture presented as part of Lire notre monde - Strasbourg Capitale mondiale du livre UNESCO 2024, in partnership with CEAAC and the Clark County Historical Museum, Vancouver, WA. This lecture was the subject of a writing residency at the Fanzinothèque and Confort Moderne in Poitiers (2023).
