Endeavours and Masterpieces
This book was designed to coincide with the "Des exploits, des chefs-d'oeuvre" exhibition, organised by Frac Sud - Cité de l'art contemporain and presented in three parts at Frac Sud, Mucem and [mac].
Since sport constitutes an essential part of the evenements, practices, experiences, objects and representations of contemporary societies, it cannot escape the attention of art and artists. Nevertheless, the bonds that art weaves with this "total social fact", far from confining themselves to a mere illustration, raise a host of questions (ranging from admiration to humour and criticism) about both the reality of sport and the expectations of art. These questions, at the crossroads of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, are the subject of the exhibition ‘Des exploits, des chefs-d'œuvre’ and its catalogue.
