Camille Henrot, Plasticienne, New York
Née en 1978, Camille Henrot vit et travaille à New York. L’artiste française développe une pratique variée qui mêle film, dessin, sculpture et installation. En puisant ses inspirations et ses sujets dans la vie quotidienne et dans la littérature, la mythologie, le cinéma et l’anthropologie, l’oeuvre de Camille Henrot reconsidère avec acuité les typologies d’objets et les systèmes de pensées établis. En 2013, dans le cadre de la Smithsonian résidence à Washington DC, elle réalise le film Grosse Fatigue, avec lequel elle remporte le Lion d’argent à la Biennale de Venise. Lauréate du Prix Nam June Paik 2014 et du Edvard Munch Art Award 2015, Camille Henrot a également participé aux Biennales de Lyon, Berlin et Sydney et a bénéficié d’expositions personnelles dans des lieux prestigieux tels que le Schinkel Pavillon à Berlin, la Kunsthalle de Vienne, le New Museum à New York ou encore au Palais de Tokyo à Paris pour une carte blanche en 2017. Ses prochaines expositions majeures auront lieu à Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery (2019) et à la National Gallery of Victoria de Melbourne (2020).

In practice, Trajal Harrell will introduce participants to runway categories and dance techniques, guiding them through warm-up exercises and curated music playlists that shape his artistic approach. Meanwhile, Cecilia Bengolea will explore the concepts of self-presentation and performativity, inviting participants to engage in a dynamic investigation of identity, whether real or constructed. Through movement and expression, she aims to question the fluidity of identity and the ways in which it can be shaped or reimagined in a performative context.

This one-day conference is an interdisciplinary event taking as its starting point the fragmentation thesis, based on the observation that our political conversations online – in forums, social media platforms, or discussion sites – are secluded into ideologically uniform groups. This tendency towards homophily is nothing new yet it has dramatically taken speed recently, to the point that it can be seen as a planetary condition of our times. The infrastructural changes in our digital networks – privatization, tracking, and algorithmic rationality – are not the sole explanatory factors. Finance capitalism, genocidal conflicts, climate crisis, as well as ambient anxiety all trigger responses that tend to favor withdrawal strategies.

The POOL workshop focuses on interdisciplinary practices and involves a wide variety of mediums. Its core is rooted in the ideas of sculpture and painting, as seen in the work of Mathis Altmann and Vittorio Brodmann. The two artists explore techniques for embedding narrative structures, highlighting representational elements while investigating how abstraction can lead to distortion, the grotesque, and the fantastical.
