Marcel Broodthaers: This is a Pipe: Ceci Est Une Pipe, Dies Ist Eine Pfeife
by Marcel Broodthaers
from Merz
Description: "This pipe stands at the beginning of my adventure. . ." --Marcel Broodthaers. This unpublished Marcel Broodthaers project was conceived in 1970 in reaction to the 1968 publication of the now famous Michel Foucault essay "This is not a pipe." The Magritte painting "Ceci n'est pas une pipe," which sparked this particular semiotic run-around, was of paramount importance to Broodthaers. Reconstituted through fragments recovered from the original project, which Broodthaers aborted in 1972, this book returns to the core of Broodthaers' complex artistic questioning and its entanglements with post-structuralist discourse.
