Celia Cusanno – Waiting for the White Rabbit

Time is taken to meticulously cover forms and materials. Gluing, peeling, folding, pasting, cutting, stamping, heating, and cooling until they border on uselessness. Freed from their original purpose, they come to exist without seeking to satisfy. Through an act of care, a way of tending to forms and materials, the work strives to hold them on a threshold that stretches out. They then escape the general flow and slow down until they come to a standstill. They remain there, far from the clamor of expectations. Between momentum and restraint, openness and withdrawal, they breathe. Later, perhaps some of them will leave. Or perhaps not.

Livia de Goumoëns – A Horse collection from or for Vanessa Rossetto / A Sound recollection

by Livia de Goumoëns

A Horse collection from or for Vanessa Rossetto Six images for and by V. Rossetto: an artist who makes music – or rather, who assembles bits and pieces to create music. This collection is a tribute and a demonstration of my love for her, life, images, sound. A Sound recollection : a selection of 25 sound collages made with my friend M.B., broadcast across five train station platforms. We piece together things we love and things we make. The sound plays every 13 minutes for about a minute. They provide a rhythm and they provide silence. Breaking the rhythm to reveal. And this probably only works when you establish a rhythm. Arrhythmia does not arise from a void but from its presence within a score that excludes it.
Virginie Emonet – That's all folks!

Virginie Emonet – That's all folks!

by Virginie Emonet

That's all folks! explores various concepts, such as self-image as a woman, sexist stereotypes, and the influence and strategies of advertising and cinematic imagery. These themes are examined through the figure of Marilyn Monroe, a complex media figure. Her personality is multifaceted, and she embodies both the essence of the society of the spectacle and of Hollywood. The endings of her films are supposed to be happy; however, they ultimately amount to Monroe finding refuge with misogynistic and abusive male characters. By creating new narratives, That's all folks! restores — or rather, redraws — joyful and empowering final scenes for her, moving away from the reductive clichés of her era.
Avril Hélard – I Tell A Fly

Avril Hélard – I Tell A Fly

by Avril Hélard

I Tell A Fly is an installation in which the idea of the enigma structures the relationships between the works, evoking a latent space where meaning is constantly produced but never fully resolved. Different forms of modular structures connected to scenography, writing, memory, and repetition function as strategies through which a narrative emerges, unfolding through the visitor's movement within the exhibition space.

Eloïse Llanca Bolivar – La Llorona / Las chismosas / Cha Cha Gitano

by Eloïse Llanca Bolivar

"I heard the last coin drop into the coin slot of the pay phone, a sound like leaves, like the wind lifting dry leaves, a sound like cables twisting and untwisting, then unraveling into nothingness. Poetic misery. Do you remember that I wanted to tell you something and that in the end I didn't tell you? Her voice sounded perfectly normal. When? I heard myself say stupidly. A long time ago, […]" – Roberto Bolaño, "The Savage Detectives", 1998

Niki Loroch – Marching band

by Niki Loroch

"Heterosexuals can't understand camp because everything they do is camp." – Charles Ludlam, "Ridiculous Theatre: Scourge of Human Folly", 1992 Marching band is a corpus of performative actions deployed and punctually activated within an exhibition space. Conceived as a fanfare and through tropological incarnations, the various characters that compose it mobilize in order to — amongst other things — attempt to ruffle the few tacit contracts that regulate the fields of display. In short: get your handkerchiefs ready.
