arthurfouray.systems maps ways of experimenting with art. Inspired by Duchamp's La Boîte verte (1934) and built as an interface, a book to navigate, this project traces, retraces and contextualises a body of work. It is an active archive of an entire production since the age of one, solo or in groups, as an artist or curator: a Gesamtkunstwerk, exhaustive and discontinuous at once. Projects and periods stand as autonomous universes within non-hierarchical chronologies. My logic is irregular.
