Abstract

Given out to the public, free of charge, 'Point d’Ironie' is an atypical periodical, distributed in a scattered way – 100,000 copies are spread around the world, available in museums, galleries, book shops, schools, cinemas, and at agnès b. stores worldwide. It is published by Agnes B and Hans - Ulrich Obrist. Created by French poet Alcanter de Brahm at the end of the 19th century, the Point d’Ironie is a punctuation mark used at the end of sentences to point an ironic passage within a text. The Point d’Ironie originated following a discussion between agnès b., Christian Boltanski and Hans Ulrich Obrist in 1997. Six to eight issues are published every year, each one designed by an artist who makes it his own. Since 1997, many international artists have taken part in the publications including Matthew Barney, Christian Boltanski, Louise Bourgeois, Frédéric Bruly Bouabré, Tobias Buche, Robert Crumb, Tacita Dean, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Michel Foucault, Yona Friedman, Gilbert & George, Douglas Gordon, Dan Graham, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Roni Horn, Ryan McGinley, Jonas Mekas, Annette Messager, Yoko Ono, Gabriel Orozco, Raymond Pettibon, Richard Prince, Walid Raad, Raqs Media, Navin, Ed Ruscha, Nancy Spero, Dayanita Singh, Rosemarie Trockel Rirkrit Tiravanija, Agnès Varda and Lawrence Weiner.
