art press 2's inaugural issue maps French art scene via Fourier-Roussel-Jarry hypothesis

The first issue of art press 2, titled 'la scène française,' proposes a subjective cartography of the French artistic situation through the Fourier-Roussel-Jarry hypothesis. The publication, released in 2006, features a text by an unnamed author that opens with quotes from François Morellet and Niele Toroni. Morellet's phrase 'L'art, ce pseudo dû (ou dodue ?) spectral' and Toroni's 'Un bordel, des bordeaux' set a provocative tone for the exploration. The issue aims to map the contemporary French art scene using the conceptual framework of Charles Fourier, Raymond Roussel, and Alfred Jarry, three figures known for their radical and unconventional approaches. The content is described as a draft of a subjective cartography, suggesting an experimental and personal perspective on the state of French art at the time.
