villa-arson-2

This exhibition brings together, in a scenography close to a cabaret-gymnasium, a selection of works and performances on the triple theme “athletes, artists, burlesques”, bringing into play the notion of bodily competence.

Singular in its form, it is conceived as a moving proposal, in several sequences, punctuated by the “Weekends of Modification” (happening, cinema, performance), with the introduction – or substitution – of new works modifying the form of the hanging until its final version.

A specific cinema program, Cinéma Omnisport, which articulates different axes common to sport and cinema (machine bodies, popular elegance, transgender images), is designed by Patrice Blouin in collaboration with L’ECLAT.

 

 

November 24, 2013 – January 13, 2014

opening Saturday November 23 at 6 p.m.

 

 

Following an educational project carried out jointly with the art / action option of the

HEAD – Geneva (High School of Art and Design – Geneva), this exhibition brings together, in

a scenography close to a cabaret-gymnasium, a selection of works and performances

on the triple theme “athletes, artists, burlesques”, bringing into play the notion of competence

bodily.

 

 

Singular in its form, it is conceived as a proposal in motion, in

several sequences, punctuated by the “Week-ends de la Modification” (happening, cinema,

performance), with the introduction – or substitution – of new works modifying the

form of the hanging until its final version. At the end of these successive modifications,

the opening exhibition will be transformed into a new finishing exhibition: a

exhibition to be seen “from both ends”.

 

 

A specific cinema program, Cinema Omnisport, which articulates different axes

common to sport and cinema (machine bodies, popular elegance, transgender images),

is designed by Patrice Blouin in collaboration with L’ECLAT.

Finally, in conjunction with the exhibition, the book Des Corps Compétents (Sportsmen, Artists,

Burlesques), published by the Presses du Réel – Collection Villa Arson.

 

With texts by Patrice Blouin, Elie During, Yan Duyvendak, Eric Duyckaerts, Christophe

Kihm and Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux. (from a study day that took place at the Villa Arson

September 7, 2012). Editorial direction: Patrice Blouin. Graphic design: Julien Bouillon
