The captioned drawings shown in this book were created as a tribute to the many hands that have shaped the histories of art. The training of artists, their historical filiations, the multiple collaborations, the work of research, creation, and conservation, and the various institutions that support them are all brought to light in Clément de Gaulejac’s work.

Creating art, as solitary an activity as it may seem, always involves a collective aspect. How is the necessary solidarity among artists built despite rivalries and asymmetrical, sometimes prickly relationships? How can the individualism of creation and the construction of interpretive communities be reconciled? What happens when such mind-cloud formations make rules that can be applied only by individuals?

Composed of thirty-eight captioned drawings from the collection of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, this work, created by the artist Clément de Gaulejac, continues a series begun in 2011 with Livre noir de l’art conceptuel, followed by Grande École in 2012, then Les artistes in 2017. This new book extends his reflection on “standard practices,” a set of laws that are constantly being updated and are therefore impossible to enunciate, although they do govern the art world.

Bilingual, the publication includes a complete documentation of the work, accompanied by a text by the curator of the museum’s collection, Marie-Eve Beaupré.
