Cultural Abolitionisms, 2021, 2023 / Des abolitionnismes culturels, 2021, 2023, is an essay that opposes the discourses of justification led by artists and other agents in the field of art with a materialist conception of the history of cultural institutions. The author argues for an abolitionist approach towards art institutions against more reformist, corporatist and formalist approaches to emancipation that still prevail in the art sector.
