Un art qui construit la vie (et aussi des salles de bain). (French)

Art Thats Builds Life (and Bathrooms Too). (English)

By publishing "Art et Production" by the productivist theorist Boris Arvatov for the first time in French, Editions Sans Soleil is giving French-speaking readers access to a philosophy that values art without ever making it sacred, by making it an organizer of everyday life, directly linked to productive forces. A radically avant-garde aesthetic, opposed to all realism (socialist or otherwise), eager to think through the conditions of possibility for an art that can truly “build life”.

En publiant pour la première fois en français Art et Production du théoricien productiviste Boris Arvatov, les éditions Sans Soleil donnent accès au lectorat francophone à une philosophie qui valorise l’art sans jamais le sacraliser, en en faisant un organisateur de la vie quotidienne, directement articulé aux forces productives. Une esthétique radicalement avant-gardiste, opposée à tout réalisme (socialiste ou non), désireuse de penser les conditions de possibilité d’un art qui puisse réellement « construire la vie ».
