Exhibition & performance

To accompany the intervention on the opening night, of which you can see some images at the bottom of the page, the artist stages an exhibition comprising new video works, accompanied by an installation made up of elements accumulated during the 3 weeks of residency. The stakes: using precarious means of production; the kindness of a few friends, the availability of materials found in the public space, the accessibility of analogue techniques. The simplicity behind these gestures is very much assumed, in the subversive spirit of the inadvertent artistic act. Reacting to the tradition of marginality as valorising position, the artist as exchange agent takes note of the limits instituted by self-colonisation and forced professionalization, and proposes to renounce the humourless positions that have become the standard in contemporary art.
