Gilles Ivain

Though member transitory of the International lettrist, Ivan Vladimirovitch Chtcheglov , known as Gilles Ivain (1933 - 1998), painter, writer, psychogéographe, friend of Henry de Béarn, Patrick Straram and Gaëtan Mr. Langlais, marked of an indelible print this movement. One of the rare traces of the importance of the part which it could there play between 1953 and 1954 remains its Formulaire for a new town planning , text written in 1952-1953 and whose version, established by Guy Debord, appeared in 1958 in the first number of the review Internationale situationnist with this presentation: " The International lettrist had adopted in October 1953 this report/ratio of Gilles Ivain on the town planning, which constituted a decisive element of the new orientation taken then by the experimental avant-garde. This text was established starting from two successive states of the manuscript, comprising light differences in formulation, preserved in the files of the I.L., then become the parts number 103 and number 108 of the Situationnistes."

Ivan Chtcheglov was excluded from the International lettrist in 1954, shortly after the resignation of Gaëtan Mr. Langlais (1935-1982) with which it then continued during several years some of the research started within the International lettrist. As opposed to what Jean-Jacques Raspaud and Jean-Pierre Voyer ( affirm the International situationnist. Chronology, bibliography, protagonists …, 1972 - work in which Guy Debord could not obviously miss seeing " the only research which one can rent without reserve the sérieux") and so that Guy Debord and Michele Bernstein had hoped about 1964, Ivan Chtcheglov forever belonged to the International situationnist.
