The significance of JeanFranois Lyotard's innovative 1985 exhibition Les Immatriaux and the curatorial turn in critical theory.In 1985, the philosopher JeanFranois Lyotard curated Les Immatriaux at Centre Georges Pompidou. Though widely misunderstood at the time, the exhibition marked a curatorial turn in critical theory. Through its experimental layout and hybrid presentation of objects, technologies, and ideas, this pioneering exploration of virtuality reflected on the exhibition as a medium of communication and anticipated a deeper engagement with immersive and digital space in both art and theory. In Spacing Philosophy, Daniel Birnbaum and SvenOlov Wallenstein analyze the significance and logic of Lyotard's exhibition while contextualizing it in the history of exhibition practices, the philosophical tradition, and Lyotard's own work on aesthetics and phenomenology. Les Immatriaux can thus be seen as a culmination and materialization of a life's work as well as a primer for the many thoughtexhibitions produced in the following decades.The significance of JeanFranois Lyotard's innovative 1985 exhibition Les Immatriaux and the curatorial turn in critical theory.Forthcoming from the MIT Press
