A small white softcover book with black text down the spine. "The eighth volume in the ongoing CSP series edited by Hirsch and Miessen, The Proposal focuses on American artist Jill Magid's The Barragan Archives. Magid's multiyear project examining the career of Pritzker Prize winning architect Luis Barragan (1902-1988) questions the forms of power, public access and copyright used to construct artistic legacy. After his death, Barragan's archive was split in two. His personal archive went to his home in Mexico, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while his professional archive was purchased in 1995 by Vitra chairman Rolf Fehlbaum and housed at the corporation's headquarters, where it became inaccessible to the public. As Magid attempts to bring together Barragan's professional and personal archives and probes the architect's official and private selves, she engages the intersections of the psychological and the judicial, national identity and repatriation, international property rights and copyright law, authorship and ownership, the human body and the body of work. Eight additional essays round out Magid's discussion. Contributions by Leonardo Diaz Borioli, Nikolaus Hirsch, David Kim, Cuauhtemoc Medina Gonzalez, Daniel McClean, Hesse McGraw, Elizabeth A. Povinelli and Ines Weizman." Contents are as follows: Locating legacy / Jill Magid ; Nikolaus Hirsch ; Hesse McGraw -- As if in a perpetual chain : the gift and the soul in a Mexican diamond / Elizabeth A. Povinelli -- Jill Magid and Luis Barragán's legacy / Daniel McClean -- 2900 degrees Fahrenheit / Ines Weizman -- The charge of intimacy promise and contract / David Kim -- Autobiographical architecture : the construction of Luis Barragán / Leonardo Díaz-Borioli -- Dead souls in the twenty-first century / Cuauhtémoc Medina -- Princple cast of characters -- Timeline -- Vitrines.…

The eighth volume of the Critical Spatial Practice series focuses on Jill Magid's The Barragán Archives, a multiyear project that examines the legacy of Pritzker Prizewinning architect Luis Barragán (19021988), and questions forms of power, public access, and copyright that construct artistic legacy. The archive of Barragán was split in two after his deaththe personal archive is kept in his home in Mexico, which is now a museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site; while his professional archive was purchased in 1995 by Rolf Fehlbaum, chairman of the Swiss furniture company Vitra, from a New York gallerist. It is said that Fehlbaum bought it as a gift for his then fiancée, Federica Zanco. She is the director of the Barragan Foundation, which also holds rights to Barragán's name. For the past twenty years the archive, housed below the Vitra headquarters, has been inaccessible to the public.
With The Proposal Magid attempts to bring together Barragán's professional and personal archives by probing the architect's official and private selves, and the interests of various individuals and governmental and corporate entities who have become the archives' guardians. Magid, with permission of the Barragán family, commissioned a small amount of Barragán's cremated remains to be transformed into a diamond. The stone, set in a gold ring, was offered to Zanco in exchange for the return of the professional archive to Mexico. Magid's artwork directly engages the intersections of the psychological and the judicial, national identity and repatriation, international property rights and copyright law, authorship and ownership, the human body and the body of work.
