In 1983, the Centre Georges Pompidou invited Jean-François Lyotard, the prominent theorist of postmodernism, to organize an exhibition at the Centre de Création Industrielle. The exhibition Les Immatériaux examines the intersection of philosophical practice and curatorial craft. This article contends that Les Immatériaux should be regarded not just as an exhibition but as an artistic installation. According to Juliane Rebentisch, the key characteristics of an art installation are theatricality, intermediality and site-specificity, all of which are present in Les Immatériaux. This positions Lyotard as both an artist-curator and a philosopher-curator, thus embodying Nietzsche’s concept of the philosopher-artist. The philosopher-artist empowers life and opens up new possibilities. Similarly, the philosopher-curator-artist creates a reflective space that fosters the development of new values
