Overview"The significance of Jean-Fran ois Lyotard's innovative 1985 exhibition Les Immateriaux and the ""curatorial turn"" in critical theory.In 1985, the philosopher Jean-Fran ois Lyotard curated Les Immateriaux at Centre Georges Pompidou. Though widely misunderstood at the time, the exhibition marked a ""curatorial turn"" in critical theory. Through its experimental layout and hybrid presentation of objects, technologies, and ideas, this pioneering exploration of virtuality reflected on the exhibition as a medium of communication and anticipated a deeper engagement with immersive and digital space in both art and theory. In Spacing Philosophy, DanielBirnbaum and Sven-Olov Wallenstein analyze the significance and logic of Lyotard's exhibition while contextualizing it in the history of exhibition practices, the philosophical tradition, and Lyotard's own work on aesthetics and phenomenology. Les Immateriaux can thus be seen as a culmination and materialization of a life's work as well as a primer for the many thought-exhibitions produced in the following decades.
