Curated by the philosopher Jean-Fran?ois Lyotard and design theoretician Thierry Chaput, it is widely regarded as a landmark in the history of postmodern philosophy, as well as for discourses around art, science and digital culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroeckmann's book provides the first comprehensive account of the preparation of this epochal event. It shows how the exhibition resulted from multiple, collaborative and interdisciplinary trajectories in such diverse fields as contemporary art, architecture, science, and network media. Based on extensive archival research, \u003cem\u003eThe Making of Les Immat?riaux\u003c\/em\u003e offers detailed insights into the curatorial process. Throughout its ten chapters, the book highlights the different forms of cooperation among the people involved in the conception of the exhibition, including Lyotard, Chaput, the team at the Centre de Cr?ation Industrielle, and their consultations with artists, theorists, and scientists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLes Immat?riaux\u003c\/em\u003e marks a pivotal point in the history of exhibitions in the 20th century because it gave important impulses for the organisation, design and structure of interdisciplinary exhibitions. Broeckmann discusses the place of Les Immat?riaux in the broader context of this history, examining the epistemology of exhibits, curatorial agency, and interdisciplinarity in research networks. The book takes up current questions about the relationship between materiality and immateriality, between subjectivity and thinghood, and shows how \u003cem\u003eLes Immat?riaux\u003c\/em\u003e continues to offer a significant contribution to debates that over the last decades have become ever more urgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andreas Broeckmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3957962595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783957962591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Meson Press Eg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d","brand":"Andreas Broeckmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46747848605951,"sku":"9783957962591","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4267970b-b912-49d9-83a3-563f4cdcd641.jpg?v=1743584908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-making-of-les-immatriaux-andreas-broeckmann-9783957962591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
