The Museum of Mistakes by Pierre Leguillon

A collection of works by French artist Pierre Leguillon.

This book is the first collection of works that introduce a wide range of works collected in the "MUSEUM OF MISTAKES" (MUSÉE DES ERREURS / THE MUSEUM OF MISTAKES) presided over by Ruguillon. . The museum, which the artist started in Brussels, Belgium in 2013, tours various museums like a traveling circus. When the exhibition is not held, the work is kept in the artist's home, mainly in the kitchen cupboard. Most of them are made of miscellaneous materials that have little physical value, such as postcards, record sleeves, large and small posters, cloth, ceramics, folk crafts, and children's drawings. In addition to works that have been judged too small, fragile or insignificant to be displayed in a touring exhibition, this volume also includes everyday street photographs that illustrate different facets of the collection. Today, visual culture with no substantive or aesthetic value is shared on social media and the internet, often without captions or with incorrect captions. By constantly rearranging and rearranging these works, he seeks to reexamine conventional interpretations and humorously subvert the kind of cultural 'prêt-à-porter' that any museum offers these days. .
