About The Les Immatériaux Research project (LIR) 

The Les Immatériaux Research project (LIR) pursues the documentation of the exhibition Les Immatériaux (Centre Pompidou, Paris, 1985). Its main goal is to make it easier to study and research the exhibition. The LIR project seeks to collect both published and unpublished materials about the exhibition, its preparation and its reception, and to make these materials available online, as well as in a print publication which runs under the working title of “The Atlas of Les Immatériaux” and which will provide a comprehensive overview of the exhibition, its preparation, realisation, and afterlife.
