L’ouvrage est publié en coédition avec le Palais de Tokyo, en parallèle de l’exposition « ECHO DELAY REVERB » visible du 22 octobre 2025 au 15 février 2026.

Tout au long du XXe siècle, des penseur·ses, activistes et poète·sses dans la sphère francophone ont transgressé les genres et modifié les perspectives sur le monde contemporain. Néanmoins, au-delà et parfois avant leur reconnaissance en France, leurs idées ont été traduites aux États-Unis et ont servi à fabriquer des outils pour une vision critique des institutions, de l’art comme de la société, contestant des normes sociales, esthétiques et linguistiques, ouvrant à de nouvelles manières de voir et d’agir. Si le concept phare de French Theory a été défini dans les années 1990 pour évoquer la réception enthousiaste que les États-Unis ont réservé à des auteurs comme Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze ou Jacques Derrida, d’autres figures, telles que Suzanne et Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Maryse Condé, Édouard Glissant ou encore Monique Wittig, ont été déterminantes pour le champ de l’art comme pour les études postcoloniales, féministes et de genre. C’est l’histoire de cette circulation des idées, de leur résonance et appropriation par plusieurs générations d’artistes outre-Atlantique que déploie cet ouvrage qui prolonge l’exposition éponyme conçue par Naomi Beckwith au Palais de Tokyo.

Park McArthur. Contact M

The exhibition Park McArthur. Contact M brings together, for the first time, artworks made between the 2010s and 2020s. These artworks and the forms they take are guided by personal and social meanings of disability, delay, and dependency.

Co-organized by mumok in Vienna and Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, the exhibition is a collaboration between both institutions and will be presented simultaneously at both locations. Questions of simultaneous experience and access to art and culture shape this project’s format and purpose.

Curated by Matthias Michalka, mumok – Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien and Susanne Titz and Alke Heykes, Museum Abteiberg, Möchengladbach.
