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 \u003ci\u003eSpacing Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e, Daniel Birnbaum and Sven-Olov 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. \u003ci\u003eLes Immat riaux\u003c\/i\u003e can thus be seen as a culmination and materialization of a life's work as well as a primer for the many thought-exhibitions produced in the following decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe significance of Jean-Fran ois Lyotard's innovative 1985 exhibition Les Immat riaux and the \"curatorial turn\" in critical theory.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForthcoming from the MIT Press\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Birnbaum, Sven-Olov Wallenstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3956793889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783956793882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Daniel Birnbaum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983492153599,"sku":"9783956793882","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69d7bfd1-4e27-4883-bb51-3493a97a1c9e.jpg?v=1683266968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spacing-philosophy-daniel-birnbaum-9783956793882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
