‘Fictitious entries’ are deliberately incorrect entries in reference works. Also known as Mountweazel, trap street, paper town, phantom settlement and nihilartikel. ‘Ghost words’ generally originate from a typographical or linguistic error. Once authoritatively published, a ghost word occasionally may be copied widely and enter legitimate usage.

Musée de la Mémoire « Propriété Universelle » ® – Catalogue inventaire d'un musée par lui-même
Joëlle Tuerlinckx
Published by Captures éditions, Valence and Hopper & Fuchs, Wijnegem, 2024, 584 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 23.5 × 29.5 cm, French with introduction & impressum in English
Price: €75

With this publication, Joëlle Tuerlinckx guides us through the studio’s archives, and through the development of a thought process and culminates in the inventory of the M.M. collection (Musée de la Mémoire” or “Museum of Memory). Building on the great classic of the inventory catalogue and encompassing “all of J.T.’s work”, she presents “a museum in itself”.

While the book is originally connected to La Triangulaire de Cransac, a monumental work of art in the small town of Aveyron, it also puts into perspective the evolution of the museum in its relationship with the artist and the book. Joëlle Tuerlinckx reminds us that if the museum is compared to a book because of its internal organisation, then a book can be compared to a museum because of its systematics and its method of contemplating the object.
