Invent/Invest
Société Réaliste is a Parisian cooperative created by Ferenc Gróf and Jean-Baptiste Naudy in June 2004. They work in multiple forms with political design, experimental economy, territorial ergonomy and social engineering consulting. Their projects can take the shape of exhibitions, publications or conferences.
In relation to the BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY! lecture series focus on art economies, they will present connection points between projects dealing with the issue, such as Cabinet Société Réaliste Conseil, a legislative consulting firm whose mission is to help create and sustain competitive legislation (ongoing), the Artleaks collaborative platform for the labor rights of cultural workers (2011), the collective critical exhibition Artist Pension Trust (2011), or their Art Scheme Corporation Ponzi’s (2006). They will as well present their most recent work about the structural commonality of ideology in architecture and discourse, as developped in 2011 with the series of exhibitions Empire, State, Building (Jeu de Paume, Paris), The city amidst the buildings (Akbank Sanat, Istanbul) and Archiscriptons (Mosseri-Marlio Gallery, Zurich).
