Shmorévaz invites Goton, curator, writer and editor Alexis Vaillant, and graphic designer Sanghon Kim for a week-end launch of Marc Camille Chaimowicz: Writings & Interviews, published by Sternberg Press.

Marc Camille Chaimowicz (1946–2024) is an acclaimed visual artist known for his performances, installations, and curatorial flair. He was also a writer. This volume, the first comprehensive collection of writings by the artist, includes seminal interviews, chitchats, jokes, performance reports, insightful statements and letters in essay form, as well as rare documents, such as early surviving leaflets, typewriter handouts, and hard-to-find articles. Spanning 1971–2023, the book unlocks the work of an artist considered to be a refreshing role model for a new generation of culture mavens and style savants. Drawing from literature, modernist architecture, interior design, art theory, glam rock, and camp culture, the collection reveals the artist’s inner self alongside the art, his social flânerie, and the goings-on of his time.  […]  Editor Alexis Vaillant provides behind-the-scenes commentary and context—a time capsule of pleasure featuring Andy Warhol, Des Esseintes, Josef Frank, David Bowie, Vito Acconci, Eileen Gray, Alex Kapranos, Jean Cocteau, Elsa Schiaparelli, Jean Genet, Bob Dylan, Emma Bovary, and Roger Cook, among others.
