Artpress Roundtable on Memory and State Support in 1994
On December 17, 1994, Paris hosted an important roundtable discussion, gathering prominent French art critics and theorists, including George Banu, Chantal Béret, Régis Durand, and others like Jean-Paul Fargier and Catherine Millet. Although Philippe Muray couldn't attend, he contributed a short piece after going through the transcript. The dialogue revolved around Nietzsche's idea of "antiquarian history" and the possibilities for subversion, spurred by a recent screening of Guy Debord's final film. Artpress magazine organized this event, which was later highlighted in its March 1995 issue.
