Book published under the direction of Christian Alandete, artistic director of the Giacometti Institute and curator of the exhibition “Alberto Giacometti / Douglas Gordon. The morning after”, presented at the Giacometti Institute in Paris, from April 20 to June 12, 2022.
This art book is an extension of the exhibition "The Morning After," which brings together contemporary artist Douglas Gordon and sculptor Alberto Giacometti. The richly illustrated book presents all of Gordon's previously unseen works during his residency at the Giacometti Institute, along with selected works by Giacometti. Numerous previously unseen drawings from Giacometti's 1960s Série Noire books are published for the first time alongside a series of Gordon's previously unseen collages. A three-act play, based on interviews between the exhibition curator and the artist, retraces Gordon's career and the process of developing the exhibition by giving voice to characters both real and fictional: the artist (Douglas Gordon), the curator (Christian Alandete), the daughter (Lili), the sculptor (Alberto Giacometti), the justified sinner (James Hogg), the visitor (Don DeLillo), the novelist (Jean-Paul Sartre), the witness to death (Marguerite Duras), the smoker (Annette Messager) and the president (Catherine Grenier).
