Collective Sociological Art
Collectif d'Art Sociologique - an artistic group founded in 1974 by Hervé Fischer, Jean Paul Hattot and Fred Forest. The group's activity was a response to the lack of interest in conceptualism for the sociological and political dimensions of art, aimed at illuminating the real, social functions of art, and questioning the myths that had been fixed on it. As Fischer writes, Sociological analysis of art makes it possible to preserve the necessary distance to individual creativity, which is a trap for others, and thereby demystifying this type of production. ... The problem was therefore the transition from the concepts of sociology of art, used in academic circles for critical analysis of artistic creativity, to actual practice consistent with this theory.
The members of the group, as a direct impulse for their activity, also provide the conceptual art of the 1960s, in addition to conceptualism.
The very concept of sociological art was created in 1971. Selected projects of the group Bibliography
