systems

arthurfouray.systems maps ways of experimenting with art. Inspired by Duchamp's La Boîte verte (1934) and conceived as a dynamic and interface-driven book, this project traces, retraces, and contextualizes a singular body of work. It constitutes an active archive of an entire production since the age of one, solo or in groups, as an artist or curator. It is a Gesamtkunstwerk, simultaneously exhaustive and discontinuous. The intent is to offer a range of interpretations, envisioning projects and periods as autonomous universes within non-hierarchical chronologies. My logic is irregular.
