Jacques Rancière's artpress interviews collected in new publication

A new volume titled 'Les grands entretiens d’artpress. Jacques Rancière' compiles the philosopher's interviews with the magazine artpress, spanning from 2000 to recent years. The collection features dialogues with artists and theorists including Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and W.J.T. Mitchell. Rancière, known for his work on politics, aesthetics, and cinema, first spoke with artpress in 2000 following the publication of 'Le Partage du sensible. Esthétique et politique', which examined new forms of artistic visibility beyond the era's debates on art's crisis and the end of ideologies. The interview with Gonzalez-Foerster highlights her practice as irreducible to any fixed global system. The discussion with Mitchell engages with a philosophical critique of image theory. The book includes contributions from Patrice Blouin, Maxime Boidy, Yan Ciret, and Stéphane Roth, with a preface by Dork Zabunyan. A key quote from Rancière states: 'What is called postmodernity is only a way of identifying the failure of the modernist paradigm of art's autonomy.'
