Jorge Pardo Book order

At the invitation of the Toulouse art festival “Printemps de Septembre”, the Cuban-American artist Jorge Pardo (*1963) has developed a new display for the collection of Romanesque art at the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse. This collection—the world’s largest collection of Romanesque sculpture—is unique for its coherence with its well-preserved ensembles of capitals. Pardo produced a kind of “Gesamtkunstwerk” that has instantly become an iconic feature in the city and has now been adopted as the permanent display. This book includes an introduction to the collection of Romanesque sculptures at the museum, an illustrated history of its ever-changing presentation since 1830, an extensive survey of Jorge Pardo’s specific works for museums as well as a brief history of remarkable exhibition designs for museum collections throughout the 20th century. With an interview between Stephen Prina and Jorge Pardo. Exhibition: Musée des Augustins, Toulouse, on permanent display

The Adjaye Studios 2008 - 2010: Co-Authoring sets out to examine the intersection of art and architecture, not through the tradition of art within architecture, but through non-standard modes of collaboration. From 2008 to 2010 David Adjaye taught three studios at the Princeton School of Architecture. Each year, an artist - Teresita Fernandez, Jorge Pardo, and Matthew Ritchie - was invited to collaborate with the studio and share their approach to three vastly different sites: New Jersey, the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, and the city of Merida in the Yucatan. Through non-standard modes of questioning, developing, and testing, the studios set out to overturn expectations associated with the conventions of architectural design and representation. The Adjaye Studios 2008 - 2010: Co-Authoring features a curated selection of recent projects from David Adjaye and the three featured artists, interviews, essays, and archival material that unpacks and offers a new look at the shared space of art and architecture.

Published alongside an exhibition at Haunch of Venison, Zurich (19 October - 19 November 2005), this book documents Jorge Pardo's sculpture of a pleasure boat - a compact, floating sculpture, supreme in its functionality and use. It includes a short artist's biography
