The Bibliothèque Kandinsky's Summer University is a Musée National d'Art Moderne/Centre Pompidou research program installed on the very premises of the museum. It focuses on modern and contemporary art primary sources: archives, documentary materials, interviews, records, as well as new forms of artistic appropriation and documentary production. Interdisciplinary in format, the Summer University brings together young researchers: historians, art historians, anthropologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, artists, critics and curators who share a collective reflection with art professionals and various scholars around primary source materials. Editorial work is at the heart of the Summer University: a new issue of the “Journal de l'Université d’été de la Bibliothèque Kandinsky”—conceived both as a critical anthology based on the debates during the sessions and as an experimental production—will be released at the end of the session.
