Artistic interventions are generally understood as procedures and practices that pursue an explicitly political or critical agenda. However, the arts can also influence social structures in non-obvious ways: questioning or reconfiguring them, interrupting routines or disrupting processes. This type of artistic intervention is characterized by a specific non-directionality that can be understood as intransitivity. 

This volume presents artistic procedures and practices that illustrate intransitive dynamics, examines their potentials and limits and puts the concept of the intransitive itself up for debate.
