Une histoire secrète des crises

A series of display boxes presented as open books offers a selection of artists’ publications from the CDLA collection. What makes them unique is that they were published at the same time as a major crisis in capitalism. Although most of these publications do not directly address the crises of their time, they offer readers an alternative, often critical, history of these stock market crashes and the ideologies that orchestrate the perpetuation of the economic system.
