Following the development of an artist's thought, witnessing the circumstances of his creativity, discerning the interval separating an idea from its execution, seeing the artist become accustomed to his own discoveries… Closely following the creative process, this latest issue of
Palais magazine is given over to the artists' own words, presented in a variety of formats, echoing the exhibition program of the Palais de Tokyo.
Contents of this issue: Croatian artist
Damir Očko speaks to the art historian Daniele Balit;
Fabrice Hyber converses with Théo Mercier,
Pierre Giquel,
Pascal Rousseau and Jacqueline Frydman; a focus on eight artists from the emerging contemporary art scene (

Boris Groys; inserts, projects and visuals contributed by

Ryan Gander,
Christian Marclay and the artists of the Pavillon; Alexis Vaillant visits
Markus Schinwald's studio.
Palais has also invited the art critic and theorist Jill Gasparina to create a dossier that enters into dialogue with the exhibition “Imagination Adrift.” Inscribing the modern poetics of chance into a wider history of technologies and rationalization techniques, she outlines a complex history of the taming of chance in which relationships of authority, control procedures and emancipatory tactics combine.
Dossier edited by Jill Gasparina, with texts by Stewart Brand, Dunne & Raby, Éric Duyckaerts,
Vilém Flusser, Holis Frampton, Jill Gasparina,
Liam Gillick, Melanie Gilligan, André Gorz, Adam Greenfield,
