White Hat — Inside a Hacked Art World

In contemporary art spaces shaped by visibility and power, some gestures choose disruption. White Hat — “Hacking the Systems” documents illegal banner interventions carried out in major art institutions, from FIAC and Art Basel to Tate Modern and the New Museum.

Co-written by Marc-Antoine Léval and art critic Henrique Grimaldi, the book revisits the Please Buy / Show My Work series through images and context. Read through the lens of hacking, these actions are presented as ways of exposing how art systems operate, who they include, and where they fracture.

The evening marks the launch of the book, an opportunity to discover this visual archive and reflect on strategies of intervention within the contemporary art world, in close connection with the bookstore.
