Henri Michaux's 'Donc c’est non' Reviewed in artpress
The June 2016 issue of artpress (n°434, p. 82) features a review of Henri Michaux's book 'Donc c’est non', published by Gallimard. The review situates the work within the context of mass media and its refuseniks, drawing parallels to Guy Debord and Maurice Blanchot. Debord actively disseminated his ideas despite his critique, while Blanchot's conspicuous abstention bordered on exhibitionism. Michaux's text is examined as part of this tradition of media resistance.
