In this book, the 1923 manifesto « Active Art » by Latvian philosopher Andrejs Kurcijs triggers a series of responses by writers, artists and curators on the notion of activism in art, past and present: art for political purposes, art for its own purpose or art with no purpose. All the texts collected in this volume aim at considering the active part of writing according to the definition given by Kurcijs.
