From a multitude of looks and shapes, Atlas critical provides an overview of practices where interwoven with art, the political stakes. Created in 2005, the people who lack is a curatorial structure that, at the crossroads of art, film and critical theories, offers events, festivals, symposia, publications. Interested in the relations between art and politics, the people who lack of proofreading makes history, capitalism, cultural geographies, the production of images and representations.
In the words of art historian Georges Didi-Huberman, the atlas, as a form of display space, would aim to collect the fragmentation of the world for the better then "back". In the field of contemporary art, this procedure is available in different formal categories (maps, topography, diagrams, etc..) Which, while updating the previously invisible connections, explain critical theories related to political spaces , social and individual.
Exploring the consequences of capitalism, the exhibition is a focal length of the operating areas or transits, where the invisible strings of finance are finally an incarnation. With The ForgottenSpace , Film essay done by American artist Allan Sekula and Noel Burch by the filmmaker, is the sea, as a space forgotten in modern times, which unfolds as a place of exchange for the global economy. The document is resonating with the installation of video All That is Solid Melts Into Air (All that is solid melts into air), Mark Boulos, diptych screens where traders a Chicago company faces are virtually the militants in the Niger Delta. Oppositions of contexts, resources and weapons, around two communities facing the excesses of the oil industry.

The exhibition Atlas critical also reports on events held in public, when the experiment is embodied in artistic revolts mixing symbolism and direct confrontation with established authority. Disclosure of health scandals or media, until the total negation of the laws governing a system, these interventions contribute equally to a deconstruction of political hegemonies, and the desire to make visible what previously was not.
