Philippe Parreno (born 1964) undermines the notion of the discrete, ownable, copyrighted artwork, through collaborations with artists such as Douglas Gordon and Pierre Huyghe, performances, dialogue and the cultivation of exhibitions as real time encounters. This superbly produced monograph, designed by M/M, offers the first substantial inventory of his work since the late 1980s, covering his multifarious production from film (such as the famous "Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait," made with Douglas Gordon, 2006) to spectacle ("Il Tempo del Postino," with Hans Ulrich Obrist, 2007). Edited by Christine Macel with Karen Marta, this book offers the first complete list of works and chronology, fully illustrated and accompanied by notices. It also includes critical and fictional texts by Maria Lind, Charles Arsene-Henry, Enrique Juncosa, Beatrix Ruf and Simon Critchley, as well as an interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
