Société Réaliste: Glyphs and Strata


Société Réaliste is a Paris-based cooperative created, in June 2004, by Ferenc Gróf and Jean-Baptiste Naudy. The cooperative manages the development of research and production structures in fields such as territorial ergonomy, experimental economy, political design, and counterstrategy. Société Réaliste’s practice is resolutely polytechnic, developed through exhibitions, collaborative research projects, cultural events, lectures, critical writings, and educational interventions. Since January 2008, Société Réaliste is, in tandem, researcher in design at Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht (the Netherlands). Société Réaliste’s recent projects include solo exhibitions at Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (the Netherlands), Centre d’Art Contemporain La Synagogue de Delme (France), Galerie Martine Aboucaya in Paris, Galeria Zé dos Bois in Lisbon, Kunstpavillon in Innsbruck, and Trafo Gallery in Budapest. The cooperative has recently participated in group exhibitions or lectured in Moscow, Zagreb, Budapest, Paris, Vienna, Tel Aviv, Rome, Berlin, Prague, Hamburg, NYC, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Kassel, Bucharest, and Kiev. Société Réaliste has published articles in Journal of Visual Culture, The HTV, Multitudes-Icônes, and Exindex.
