Description: A project developed by American artist Marianne Vitale around the history of an American hospital built in France during the First World War (with an essay by Rachel Valinsky). Marianne Vitale (born 1973, lives and works in New York City) uses now-decommissioned materials and objects to interrogate the myths upon which cosmologies of modernity are based, whether the pioneering ideologies of Manifest Destiny and Westward expansion, the history and infrastructure of industrialization, American vernacular architecture, or genealogies of modernism in art history. Translated from the English (American) by Manon Lutanie.
Notes: Chiefly illustrated.
