Title: Toit Du Monde
Description: Switzerland, Lars Muller Publishers. 2002, First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine. Text: French / English / German. 368 p.; ill.; 21 x 27,5 cm; 1,7 kg. Dustjacket. Edition: 3.000. Toit du Monde is the roof of the world, it is Tibet, it is a spirit, a sensation, a process, a building, a color palette, a mixing table, a space for live experimentation, and it is, most importantly in the context of this book, a center for multidisciplinary contemporary arts that was located in Vevey, Switzerland for ten years. Though the building that housed the arts center was destroyed in February 2002, the center itself has left traces of its existence throughout the nearly 400 pages of this book. Thirty-four international artists exhibited at the Toit du Monde are represented, including Dolores Marat, Spencer Tunick, Renate Buser, Sofa Surfers, Antoine d'Agata, Michael Ackerman, Oval Kreidler, Terre Thaemlitz, and Luigi Archetti. The volume also includes The Potential Museum Project, with contributions by Tobias Stengel, John Peter Nilsson, Le Corbusier, and Sigismond de Vajay, and "Trajectories, " a dynamic overview of the center's archives, featuring projects made between 1994 and 2001. Perfect copy. (ISBN: 3037780002)
