Through examples of major bodies of work as well as lesser-known pieces, the exhibition captures Calle’s astute probing into the human condition and reveals ways that her early work anticipated the rise of social media as a space to create and share oneself. The presentation features photography, video, installations and text-based works, highlighting the artist’s virtuosic use of different mediums to explore broadly recognizable and emotionally resonant themes. Organized into four thematic sections—“The Spy,” “The Protagonist,” “The End” and “The Beginning”—the book takes a new approach to some of Calle’s most acclaimed works including The Sleepers (1979) and Suite Vénitienne (1980), while also weaving in understudied works including Cash Machine (1991–2003) and Unfinished (2005). The catalog further explores this new examination of Calle's work with original writing by Henriette Huldisch, Eugenie Brinkeman, Aruna D’Souza and Courtenay Finn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAC IH3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49087660523815,"sku":"","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/sophie-calle-overshare-75.jpg?v=1725998204"},{"product_id":"sophie-calle-jean-paul-demoule-the-elevator-resides-in-501","title":"The Elevator Resides in 501","description":"\u003cp\u003eBetween 1978 and 1981, Sophie Calle went on a clandestine exploration of the then abandoned Hôtel du Palais d'Orsay. She selected room 501 as her home and without any preestablished method, set about photographing the abandoned hotel over five years. As she explored, she picked up items she found: customer reception cards, old telephones, diaries, messages addressed to a certain “Oddo” and more. Now, more than 40 years later, room 501 has disappeared and an elevator has taken its place. At the invitation of Donatien Grau, the Musée d’Orsay curator, Calle returned, equipped with a flashlight, to explore the site again during the lockdown period. She hunted down the ghosts of the Palais d'Orsay, now connected to the present by the visitors that had also deserted the museum. The work reconstructs the artist’s archive of photography, letters, invoices and other daily items which bring a forgotten past back to life. To provide commentary on her discoveries, Sophie Calle enlisted the award-winning French archaeologist Jean-Paul Demoule, who writes a series of texts combining fact and fiction. All of this evidence has been assembled to create an art object that resembles an investigation notebook.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAC IH3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49129286861095,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/sophie-calle-jean-paul-demoule-the-elevator-resides-in-501-94.jpg?v=1726508962"},{"product_id":"sophie-calle-sans-lui","title":"Sans lui","description":"\u003cp\u003eLoss, love, family: French artist Sophie Calle explores major subjects that affect our daily lives by shaking our standard patterns and beliefs.

Culled by the artist and sorted by decades, the women ads looking for men and vice versa, highlight the main qualities sought-after for both genders and love tastes through different epochs.

Confronted with the figure of one of the masters of modern art, she chose to completely empty the spaces of the museum – Picasso was expelled! – in order to install her furniture and personal objects there, on the upper floors, and to unfurl, on the ground floor, a fresco imagined as an echo of the famous Guernica but composed like an immense collage of the works she has been exchanging for years with other artists. To accompany this exhibition, À toi de faire, ma mignon , Sophie Calle has imagined a work in which she lists her “rendezvous” with Picasso. Testimonies from guards, paintings packed during confinement, etc. : so many stories presented in this art of storytelling so particular to Sophie Calle. Designed like an artist's book with its intimate format and its alternations of Bible and creative papers, Picalso immerses the reader in the funny, poetic and singular universe of the artist. An essay by Yve-Alain Bois, entitled Picassiette , recontextualizes these “rendezvous” in the work of Sophie Calle and revisits her favorite themes of memory, lack, disappearance or even absence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idea House 3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49304399773991,"sku":null,"price":56.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/IMG-0165.jpg?v=1730480400"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.walkerart.org\/collections\/books-magazines-sophie-calle.oembed","provider":"Walker Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
