L’artiste dont le seul tort est d’avoir eu raison trop tôt...
« Fred Forest pose un problème et il est exemplaire. Il est certainement l’artiste qui a su pressentir l’importance de la communication, non pas comme une série de systèmes destinés à appréhender le réel, mais comme un volume, un territoire autonome où l’auto-expressivité se normalise au contact d’autres intervenants dans une même situation sociale »

Fred Forest has a special place in contemporary art. Both by his personality and by his pioneering practices which mark his work. He is mainly known today for having used one by one most of the communication media that have appeared over the last fifty years. He is co-founder of three artistic movements: those of sociological art, the aesthetics of communication and ethics in art.
