Note du spécialiste

‘I am the result of an experiment – the word is perhaps a little strong – let’s say of a taste for literature, definitely; that was my starting point; however, I do believe I am now able to express myself on the edge of things, where the world of visual arts and the world of poetry might eventually, I wouldn’t say meet, but at the very frontier where they part’ —M. Broodthaers
