Daniel Buren: A Major Voice in Contemporary Art

A new publication titled 'Les grands entretiens d’artpress. Daniel Buren' compiles interviews with the artist by Daniel Cornu, Catherine Francblin, and Catherine Millet, including a previously unpublished conversation. The book features a preface by Catherine Francblin and explores Buren's five-decade career, known for his signature alternating white and colored stripes that interact with diverse sites worldwide—museums, galleries, public squares, gardens. Buren's work combines rigor and inventiveness, offering viewers novel experiences of art and space through playful material explorations. The artist is described as hyperactive and a major figure on the international scene. The volume includes the quote: 'If plastic work can only hold through its critical discourse, sooner or later it will collapse into it.'
