In actu: De l'expérimental dans l'art explores experimentalism as a philosophical concept
The collaborative publication titled 'In actu: De l'expérimental dans l'art', overseen by Élie During, Laurent Jeanpierre, Christophe Kihm, and Dork Zabunyan, has been released by Les presses du réel (coll. Fabula). This work examines 'experimental' as a noun, emphasizing philosophical inquiry and aims to expand the notion of experimentation in various contexts. Among the contributors are Sharon Ben-Joseph, Samuel Bianchini, Jean-Louis Boissier, Érik Bullot, and others. Key sections feature 'Le siècle de l'expérimentation' and 'L'expérimentation aux limites de l'art', with notable discussions on Wilhelm Reich's writings and experimental cinema.
