Conversation between Jean-Charles de Quillacq et Marie Canet

This Saturday 6 July, the artist Jean-Charles de Quillacq and the his­to­rian of art Marie Canet will meet at Bétonsalon among the works in Ma sys­tème repro­duc­tive, which they will take as the depar­ture point for their con­ver­sa­tion.

The back and forth gen­er­ated by the works in the exhi­bi­tion finds an echo and a con­tin­u­a­tion in the exchange between the artist and the critic. Together they will speak of the body, of desires and fluids, of con­tam­i­na­tion and cir­cuits, and of the inspi­ra­tion which informs and stems from the works.

The con­ver­sa­tion will be pre­ceded by a guided visit for those who haven’t seen the exhi­bi­tion and it will end with drinks offered by Bétonsalon.

This con­ver­sa­tion, inti­mate and public, is open and free to all.

Jean-Charles de Quillacq studied art at the School of Fine Arts in Lyon and at the Weißensee Academy of Art in Berlin. He cre­ates sets of sculp­tures, at times con­cep­tual and at others fetishistic, which he usu­ally exhibits by inviting others to take con­trol of their pre­sen­ta­tion with him. In this way, he engages vol­un­teers as col­lab­o­ra­tors in his work, embracing a cer­tain loss of con­trol over the poten­tial devi­a­tions that this opening might gen­erate. Until July 13 2019, he pre­sents Ma sys­tème repro­duc­tive, his first solo show at Bétonsalon.

Un dis­cret bijou : Restitution day of Orange Rouge work­shops.

Un dis­cret bijou is the title of the 2018-2019 cycle of Orange Rouge asso­ci­a­tion, orga­nized by Corinne Digard and Marion Vasseur Raluy along with the team of Orange Rouge.

Bétonsalon - Centre d’art et de recherche is pleased to host the first chapter of the 2018-2019 cycle of event of the asso­ci­a­tion Orange Rouge.

During a vibrantly and piece­meal day, we invite you to the resti­tu­tion and cel­e­bra­tion of the work­shops led in 2018-2019 by twenty artists and some teenagers from Seine Saint-Denis, Paris and Seine-et-Marne schools.
The day will be punc­tu­ated by a pas­toral lunch, the launch of Orange Rouge last pub­li­ca­tion, talks, per­for­mances and pod­casts, that will help develop ques­tions about edu­ca­tional and artistic issues of Orange Rouge’s pro­ject.

Under the shape of dis­cus­sions with invited teachers and artists, we will try to find answers to the fol­lowing ques­tions: what are the cur­rent edu­ca­tional issues and the artistic ones of a pro­ject such as that of Orange Rouge ? How to let col­lec­tive and artistic shapes and output emerge ? How not to reduce the artist into a social enter­tainer ? What are the existing links between the artists inse­cu­rity and the national edu­ca­tion pre­car­i­ous­ness ? Which ped­a­gog­ical alter­na­tives could we imagine et build for the teachers of the ULIS (Unit located for inclu­sive edu­ca­tion) classes ?

Seminar: Arts in Africa and in its dias­poras: prac­tices, knowl­edges, mobil­i­ties

This sem­inar seeks to offer reflec­tions on the driving forces of forms, prac­tices and artistic knowl­edge of the con­cep­tion and the cir­cu­la­tion of struc­tures, move­ments, ide­olo­gies and polit­ical imag­i­naries on the african con­ti­nent and in its dias­pora. In this frame­work, our researches will focus on the visual and per­for­ma­tive arts, in a broad sense (danse, the­atre, fine arts, pho­tograpy, cinema, music, lit­ter­a­ture, dig­ital arts...) and will follow an his­to­rian, crit­ical and trans­dis­ci­plinary approach.

Anthropology, visual cul­ture and materiel his­tory, cura­to­rial studies his­tory, art his­tory, colo­nial, post­colo­nial, decolo­nial and dias­poric studies, as well as polit­ical sciences... will meet and ques­tion each other . Each ses­sion will be build around a pre­sen­ta­tion by invited speakers researchers or/and designers/prac­ti­tioners, wether they are artists, cul­tural actors or activists. Capturing diver­sity and a large range of view­points, pre­sented works and approaches will have in common to take account that works (on) inter­sec­tions between art(s) and politic(s ) imply to start from a bedrock where reflex­ting and the­o­rising are required.

2018-2019: Future Arts Practices in the African World and its Diasporas
Future, or better, futures. Futures of cities, of ecolo­gies, of con­struc­tions of gen­ders; futures of tech­nics and sciences; of the vio­lence - polit­ical, eco­nom­ical, social ; of hope; the mere notions of future... Thinking, speaking, give sub­stance to these futures and to others, con­nected, from Africa and its dias­poras: these are cru­cial tasks that - through their prac­tices and reflex­ions - artists, cin­e­matog­ra­phers, per­formers writers, philoso­phers, reserchers, cura­tors, and cul­tural activists who will pre­sent their work during the sem­inar will try to target. Committed, rebel­lious, even rad­ical, the pro­posals that they develop under­mine pre­con­ceived ideas and doxas.

ORGANISERS OF THE SEMINAR:
Anne Doquet, Christine Douxami, Sarah Fila-Bakabadio, Eric Jolly,
Dominique Malaquais.

Eva Barois de Caevel, Katja Gentric, Annael Le Poullennec
