The Museum Beyond Itself: A Journey from the Louvre to Las Vegas
Музей вне себя: путешествие из Лувра в Лас-Вегас
"Museum Beyond Itself" is a manifesto against the dull uniformity and one-dimensionality often brought about by diligent control and order. At the same time, it is a treasure trove of stories and hidden facts.
The reader is in for an extraordinarily engaging and educational journey. They will discover early 19th-century London, 1840s Paris, and 1990s Las Vegas, connecting them with the most astonishing European artistic and architectural projects of the 20th and 21st centuries.
They will encounter the dreams and realizations of paradoxical creators: John Soane and El Lissitzky, Marcel Duchamp and Robert Filliou, Carlo Scarpa and Christian Boltanski, Le Corbusier and Rem Koolhaas, Alfred Hitchcock and Joseph Cornell.
They will see how multidimensional and unpredictable the streets, buildings, windows, and entire neighborhoods of modern cities are. They will realize the existence of what "already exists but remains unnoticed, as if existing in a parallel universe."
In short, the reader will have to reconsider their relationship not only with the museum but also with the city, and perhaps with themselves.
