Marcel Broodthaers: Correspondances. Korrespondenzen

“Correspondance was a series of pamphlets that were published in the 1920s by the Belgian Surrealists Paul Nougé and Marcel Lecomte. Marcel Broodthaers grew up in this tradition, the culture of dialogue, the interviews, the letters and that cultivated his forms of play in a special manner. In 1946 he took part in an artists questionnaire which presumably was formulated by Magritte and published in the Belgian newspaper ‘Le savoir vivre’. This time he is to be the sujet [sic] of a questionnaire, one that evolves around the Broodthaers exhibition at Gallery Hauser & Wirth, Zürich, and the Gallery David Zwirner, New York.” – Correspondances – The Reception of Marcel Broodthaers by Dorothea Zwirner
