Description: Summary: The patrimonial obsession of the authentic, which tends to turn the world into a museum and to make us, in a way, tourists of our own existence, may well substitute the reassuring and consensual virtue of exegetic comments to the critical faculty. This is indispensable to all living memory and all acts of creation. More than other art disciplines - those highly inventive skills -, and far from being a protective case or screen, architecture may provide a way to materialise and to feel the space that links us to the world and to others. The authors invite us to meditate upon this lesson.
Notes: Issued in conjunction with the exhibition held at the Maison Renaissance Liège, April 30-May 30, 2009.
