Louis Richalet – De l eau qui bout au fond de la terre Deep underground, Alexandre follows voices and sounds, which arise from and lead him to a lost woman. A young woman, Sophie, has disappeared into a cave. Out of despair, her family hires Alexandre : a clairaudient medium who perceives inaudible sounds, to find her. Voices guide him in his search through a maze of stones and, as he listens, echoes from the past invade his mind, throwing him into a trance between dream, memory and reality. This film is intended to be a sensory experience, a hallucination with Alexandre in this sonic turmoil. Sound as dread : faces on the rocks and rumours in the creaks. A ghost train of sound, where in the murmurs of the present hides forgotten echoes; fragments of plaintive songs, snatches of the ocean spitting out drowned melodies to which we never thought we d dance again.

ECAL × SDOL, Horizon Ouest, Regards sur la métamorphose urbaine New transport infrastructure is emerging, while former industrial wastelands are giving way to modern buildings and redesigned outdoor spaces. Gradually, residents are moving into these new neighborhoods and adopting new habits. To capture the first moments of life in these spaces, the association "Ouest lausannois: Prix Wakker 2011" has invited second-year students from the ECAL Bachelor of Photography program to observe them throughout 2024. This project highlights 18 ongoing construction sites or recently completed neighborhoods. Through their perspectives, the students offer original approaches to discovering, understanding, and appropriating these new spaces. Photography maintains a unique relationship with the world around us, as it often depends on it. Far from merely documenting reality in a strict sense, it has the power to transfigure and reveal the invisible or the unspeakable. This is the approach adopted by the ECAL photography students at the request of the "Ouest lausannois: Prix Wakker 2011" association, as they explored various territories in western Lausanne. As part of this commission, each student was randomly assigned a specific location—be it a new neighborhood, a construction site, or a distinctive building—on which they worked over an academic year. Faced with spaces that were sometimes unphotogenic or even resistant to imagery, the challenge was to look beyond appearances, to resonate with these places in order to grasp their unique dynamics. The photographs question our perception of these recent landscapes and bear witness to the human activity unfolding within them. What do they reveal about our ways of living and moving? Who are the people inhabiting these spaces? What new landscapes emerge from these rapid transformations? Through approaches that are sometimes sensitive and intimate, sometimes detached and analytical, or even driven by a formal fascination with the objects captured, the works presented reveal the density and diversity of everyday life. They bring forth a poetic vision of the city, inviting us to consider these territories not merely as functional backdrops but as fully-fledged spaces, rich with history, form, and identity—fluid and multifaceted, just like those who inhabit them.
La Mobilière 2025 Prize awarded to Alfatih Congratulations to ECAL graduate artist Alfatih, who was awarded the Prix La Mobilière 2025 at the recent Salon Art Genève. Born in 1995 and graduating from ECAL in 2018 with a Bachelor s degree in Media & Interaction Design, Alfatih, who lives and works in Lausanne, has been awarded the Prix La Mobilière 2025. Awarded each year, this prize is given to artists whose work is inspired by the issues facing our society, providing a basis for understanding our times. It is accompanied by financial support of CHF 30,000. Through his video installations and interactive works, the artist addresses the different developments in the virtual world and establishes links between fields that are still often considered to be opposed. He questions codes of understanding and their significance for society, while integrating them into the present, creating a space for diversity and pluralistic perspectives. ‘The apparent lightness of Alfatih s digital images transports us into stories in which reflections on certain periods of life, memory and death follow one another and intertwine, explains Nicolas Brulhart, artistic director of the Kunsthalle Friart in Fribourg, which nominated Alfatih for the Prix Mobilière 2025. @alfatiharufa alfatih.world

Her obsession with plants and trees takes her into a world of dreams that help her escape form the cruel reality of life in the Stone Age.
Laure Brandford Griffith – La foule nous regarde La foule nous regarde revolves around an obsessive gaze on strangers that resonates with the loss of a loved one. In the search for this person, he explores collective identity through clothing, physical attitude and human bonds, where the stranger becomes the reflection of a lost personal history. The crowd is both the plurality of personality in the lost being marked by crises of dissociation, and these unknown people bringing him back into my life.
Hector Codazzi – La Synthèse des Couleurs Synopsis : From one image to another, Louise, aged 25, strives to find her place in the demanding world of modeling. As a young photographer being increasingly involved in the world of imagery and advertising through my professional experiences, I wanted to take a closer look at this world that both fascinates and repels me in some ways, but above all intrigues me with its ambiguous relationship to reality. I directed a short film that depicts the trajectory of a model in this industry, a fiction that aims to address several questions : the self-staging induced by the profusion of images, the mechanisms of oppression related to the creation of advertising images, the pursuit of social mobility by young generations and how this pursuit clashes with the reality of the job market.
Tom Grbic – Imagine ne pas pouvoir fuir, performance continue de la tolérance et de laa raison Imagine not being able to run away is a continuous performance lasting the whole day. It aims to show the principle of ‘trans work theorised by Josephine Gilles Harris in 2019. J. G. Harris highlights, among other things, the fact that queer people need to maintain a constant performative state in order to be able to navigate the world in an ‘understandable way. With an activation of texts by Laurène Marx, Tom Grbic, Josephine Gilles Harris and Adel Tincelin, it is also an effort to inscribe ourselves in a lineage, a critical and welcoming queer History.

Julie Richoz receives one of the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris 2023 Congratulations to designer Julie Richoz, ECAL graduate and winner of the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris 2023. For 30 years, the City of Paris has renewed its commitment to the creative professions each year. In 2023, the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris will reward 7 winners: 3 Grands Prix, 3 Emerging Talents and 1 Fashion Accessories Prize. The Grand Prix rewards a professional for the quality of his or her project and career path, development strategy, commitment to the transmission of know-how or innovation. This prize is aimed at experienced professionals, companies and brands whose development is well advanced. A 2012 graduate of a Bachelor Industrial Design from ECAL, worked with designer Pierre Charpin from 2013 to 2015. Winner of the Grand Prix du Jury at the Villa Noailles Design Parade in 2012, which enabled her to work with CIRVA (Centre international de recherche sur le verre et les arts plastiques), published by Galerie Kreo, she says she entered design practice with one-off pieces or small series. " However, I put a lot of energy into developing industrial projects, which then become accessible to a larger number of people. It s a different, more complex approach, where everything can come undone for a detail. That s why, when I saw the letter of intent from Inga Sempé, the President of the Jury, I wanted to present my work to her. She explained that she wanted to showcase singular but also industrial objects. (...) This proves that just because you work in series doesn t mean you can t be bold in language and form." says the designer, who set up her studio in 2012. julierichoz.com bdmma.paris
Rémi Molleyres – La Valse Sauvage (direction) Swiss countryside, 1939. Joseph has a date with Félicie, his fiancée, to go dancing at the village ball. He finds her agitated and she confesses to him that she has just killed her uncle and that she is about to flee. She invites him to leave with her, but he cannot bring himself to such an upheaval. This is the pitch for my graduation film, shot in April 2023. Driven by a real desire for fiction, I was confronted with the challenges related to period films. These constraints, in particular those related to the sets, turned out to be very stimulating for me during the writing process. The result is a film of around 20 minutes, the culmination of a very rewarding year. This project was indeed an opportunity for me to better understand the role of production and casting.
Giulia Goy – Rose à la ferme (direction) Attracted to different image regimes, it was obvious to me that I wanted to use them for my graduation film. I knew that I wanted to film cows, but I was not yet aware of my attraction to them. I prefer documentaries, because of the freedom they give me and the chance they give me to play with fiction casually. I had already experimented with this form with my previous short film, Casting di un Padre, and it made me want to delve deeper into this personal approach. I really wanted to experiment with my practice, to get out of my comfort zone and to move towards a form of cinema that speaks to me. Synopsis: Rose, a young filmmaker looking for a job, decides to change direction and train as a farmer. This coming-of-age story questions our relationship with the land, with art and with the role of filmmakers as observers of our world.
Alexandre Margueron – La Tsemenâ Tsemena features urban furniture that allows people to eat cheese fondue in the city of Bulle. The high table includes a stove that operates with a tray of flammable gel. The two accompanying tools help regulate the flame intensity or extinguish it. It is possible to locate them on Google Maps and to replenish the fondue at any time from a cheese vending machine provided by local artisans. The furniture is made of sheet metal and conventional steel and stainless-steel profiles to minimise production costs for the city. It allows both locals and tourists to appropriate and enjoy a portion of public space for the duration of a meal.
Simon Colliard – Celle-ci je voulais la chanter au bord du gouffre Celle-ci Je Voulais la Chanter au Bord du Gouffre talks about having dreams and getting lost in the process. Celle-ci Je Voulais la Chanter au Bord du Gouffre is what remains when you have been looking within for too long. Celle-ci Je Voulais la Chanter au Bord du Gouffre is a 17-minute musical performance that tells a fragment of a story.
LA POSTE × ECAL For the Swiss Post Office, students from ECAL s Bachelor Graphic Design and Bachelor Media & Interaction Design are creating a postage stamp based on artificial intelligence. Thanks to augmented reality, Metascape transports Swiss Post users into an imaginary and poetic universe on the way to a destination that remains elusive. Strange, but not really foreign: that s the unsettling impression given by the design of this special stamp called "Metascape". Using augmented reality technology, this creation, made up of elements that are both familiar and surreal, immerses us in a fantastic world shaped by artificial intelligence. An Instagram filter lets you access the virtual journey simply by scanning the QR code on this exclusive postage stamp.With "Destination" as its theme, this collaboration between ECAL students and Swiss Post initially gave rise to fourteen concepts created through group work. After a pre-selection of five works by a jury made up of members of ECAL, Swiss Post and the Stamp Commission, the "Metascape" project was chosen to move from imagination to reality. Discover below the other pre-selected projects.What s next ?A destination is basically a journey from point A to point B. But what happens during this elapsed time? The idea is to illustrate an epic with a board that would be a pawn s playground. We follow this character as he discovers an unsuspected universe through each environment he crosses, with the aim of satisfying his thirst for discovery of the world. Through the accumulation of collected memories, the character blossoms, constantly searching for his next destination. The filter allows you to move around a deconstructed game board. From one square to the next, we discover a different world in which fictional elements interact and transform. Par , , L envolThe stamp s illustrative visual identity symbolizes the notion of travel, exchange and sharing. Both the stamp and the animation poetically illustrate the notion of travel. The bird takes us into a naïve narrative world. As it travels, it transforms to symbolize the notion of connection and exchange.

COLLABORATION WITH LA PRAIRIE – 2021 The packaging of tomorrow La Prairie pursues its partnership with ECAL students to conceptualise the packaging of the tomorrow. Through this partnership with the renowned Swiss University in Art and Design, La Prairie nurtures creativity and promotes emerging talents shaping the future of smart design. Under the creative leadership of designers Stefano Panterotto et Alexis Tourron (Panter&Tourron), six students developed their vision of the luxury packaging using La Prairie s Skin Caviar Luxe Cream folding box as their starting point. The students were invited to re-imagine the secondary packaging using a more sustainable approach and explore the possibilities that innovative materials, design techniques and technology offered while preserving the elevated product experience, inherent to the brand. This creative and diverse approach to finding viable solutions enhances the values of creativity and craftsmanship so essential to La Prairie. It ignites the House s innovative mindset by further exploring technologies, materiality and shapes that are available today, for a better tomorrow. Among the six projects developed, the nomadic kit concept, proposed by UAE student Salman Rouhani, was chosen for production. The different versions of this travel kit, adapted to La Prairie s product ranges, are now available for sale.

Gabriel Hafner – La vie est une pause Both for the person who dares to take a quick nap and for the envious colleague who would also like a little shuteye, dozing off at the office is often seen in a negative light. The need to hide from the gaze of others to take a nap was the starting point of this project which concludes my years of study at ECAL. This project features a deckchair equipped with textile sails that allows the user to withdraw for a nap. Intended for semi-public spaces such as schools, open spaces and libraries, this second space offers the user a feeling of intimacy, without isolating the person completely from his or her surroundings.

La festa degli innocenti – 2021 The Feast of the Innocents is a show born from research we carried out between Savona and Renens, the former city being where we grew up, the latter where we now live. The path that led us to establish a parallel was based on the collection of stories and testimonies of those who lived in these two provinces, which although distant, are linked by strong yet silent similarities. The stories of retirees, immigrants and workers challenged our position in this flow. We therefore tried, by unravelling the relationships with the past, to weave one with the present, paving the way for a concrete search for a community. These stories are interwoven with our experience in the form of projections, music and verbal narration.

Ange-Frédéric Koffi – La maison est notre coin du monde According to Gaston Bachelard, the house is the physical space that reflects our internal world. We learn to inhabit the house with its traditional inhabitants: the bed, the kitchen table, the doors and windows, the fences, etc. My graduation project, La maison est notre coin du monde (“The House is our Corner of the World”), focuses on one of the oldest pieces of furniture in the world: the folding screen. I question the relationship we have with this domestic object in our home, which is defined as a “shield of beauty”.

Collectively, their works embody an unmistakable Swiss aesthetic and, as citizens of the world, they bring a singular perspective to the notion of Swissness.The result is a combination of sculptural, kinetic, interactive and time-infused works that express diverse and creative interpretations of Swiss aesthetics. The works tell an emotional, immersive story through these installations.The six students and their works will be featured in an Instagram exhibition hosted on La Prairie s page from Thursday 21 January 2021.The winning student will receive a grant from La Prairie to use towards launching their design career. The winning piece will be selected by two parties: by a jury composed of design experts from ECAL and La Prairie and a call for votes from the public over Instagram. The final result will be announced on Monday 25 January 2021.

Laura Laucella – Et la fourche faucha la quatrième patte du chien Mention Bien A line of abstraction in its infinity of variations, combining authentic stories with accounts embodied in a polyphony of access. A superimposition of sub-voices and accounts.
Cyane Findji – Le feu tue les yeux de la nuit Mention Bien “A man who cannot bring himself to sacrifice his daughter to the gods decides to build them a sanctuary so that they can stop wandering the plains and rest there as in ancient times.” Taking as a starting point a scenario that has fallen into oblivion, this project invites viewers to witness fragments of life in which humans and non-humans live in a dominant nature.
Arnaud Claret – La librairie magique Mention Excellent “La librairie magique” features an optimised reading experience for dyslexic children thanks to a website. The project offers modular personalisation of the texts using the “Dyslexia Variable” font as well as many specific functions to meet their needs. In order to provide ideal reading comfort, the site enables users to adjust the form, the differentiation of letters between them and the layout of the texts. It opens up a new path to provide these children with better access to reading and to help them enjoy it.
ECAL & EXECAL Residences at La Becque,20.03.2019,La Becque, La Tour-de-Peilz UPDATE (20.03.19) EXECAL Residence at La Becque – Announcement of the laureates. UPDATE (20.03.19) EXECAL Residence at La Becque – Announcement of the laureates ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne is delighted to announce the laureates of the first EXECAL Residences at La Becque I Artists Residency. This initiative, part of the partnership that binds the two institutions, aims at fostering research projects and promoting excellence in art and design education. Each will be granted with a month-long residency program, between July and September 2019, with the objective to develop a project connected to their practices but also to the thematic focus of La Becque, the exploration of the intersection of nature and technology. Therefore, the jury composed of Catherine Othenin-Girard (President, EXECAL –Association des anciens étudiants et des amis de l ECAL), Luc Meier (Director, La Becque) and Alexis Georgacopoulos (Director, ECAL) selected: Aladin Borioli (BA Photography) Since 2014, Aladin Borioli has pursued his DYI research project "Apian", looking at the links between honeybees and humans, and at how both beings mould each other. Being drawn closer to the humanities, Aladin graduated in 2018 with an MA in Visual and Media Anthropology at the Freie Universität Berlin. "Apian" has been then presented in artistic contexts as well as in anthropological forms. Pauline Lemberger & Iris Andreadis (BA Industrial Design) In 2015, Pauline Lemberger co-founded “Bouchée Double”, in Brussels, a studio where she explores the culinary world at the intersection of scenography, photography, product design and illustration. She investigates cuisine through a global approach, enhanced during residencies in Japan and Mexico but also through the conceptualization of pop-up restaurants. For her part, Iris Andreadis is currently studying architecture in Paris. At the heart of her practice lays her deep fascination for building processes and structures, as well as for smart objects and their economy of means, all of which she had the chance to observe during stays in Greece and Hong Kong. Thomas Grogan (BA Industrial Design) With a background in industrial and speculative design, Thomas Grogan, based in London, has developed an artistic practice that investigates current and future social issues around emerging technologies through various artistic outputs like sculpture, installation, animation and digital platform. His work uses a visual language that is strongly influenced by corporate branding, manufacturing and product hacking.

She moves forward in her dressing gown with precaution, trying not to wake Anne who is still sleeping. In front of her reflection, she discovers her shoulder.

Fiction / 17 min Synopsis In the middle of the darkness of a chalet of a past century, between the cracks and the dirt of an old mirror, somebody appears. It is Lisbeth. She moves forward in her dressing gown with precaution, trying not to wake Anne who is still sleeping. In front of her reflection, she discovers her shoulder. The skin is cracked, darkened and in blood. The disease is back. Comment Attracted by genre cinema, inhabited by the need to tell this story, Yatoni Roy Cantu knew, during the writing process, how to show tenacity and great capacities of rebound to make us share his singular universe, made of mysticism, strangeness and sensuality.

Book and exhibition «Un paysage de la modernité»,12.10.2016,Gallery l elac, ECAL «Un paysage de la modernité», premier titre de la collection «Les Cahiers de l Ouest» (Editions Infolio), propose une étude réalisée par Bruno Marchand, professeur à l Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), qui montre combien l Ouest lausannois porte la marque du Mouvement moderne, notamment dans ses ensembles bâtis et son architecture du logement. Dans le cadre de cet ouvrage (réalisé graphiquement par l Atelier Poisson), les étudiants de 2e année en Bachelor Photographie de l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne, sous la direction de Matthieu Gafsou, ont offert leurs regards photographiques sur cette thématique. «Les étudiants ont reçu pour mission de réaliser des images personnelles, faisant découvrir les lieux dans leur usage. Certains auront parfois élargi quelque peu le territoire de leurs investigations photographiques, non par commodité mais bien pour rendre compte du point de vue de l habitant et de son rapport vécu au quartier. Concrètement, chaque étudiant s est vu attribuer une zone, délimitée très précisément, regroupant un ou plusieurs ensembles de logements. Pendant presque un an, ils ont dû se soumettre à la contrainte de se limiter à cette portion de territoire. Il s agit d un des exercices les plus difficiles de la photographie: rendre exotique ce qui nous est tellement familier qu on ne le regarde plus. Ce d autant plus que la zone couverte est très petite et ne permet pas d échappatoires stylistiques, de subterfuges formels. Le banal peut devenir pittoresque, sublime ou beau. Tout est question de point de vue. Et c est bien en mettant en œuvre une telle démarche que l on développe son langage. Que l on apprend à faire une photographie qui n est plus seulement soumise à la magnificence du sujet mais qui participe aussi de la fabrication de ce dernier. C est à mon avis lorsque l on comprend cette nuance que l on devient un véritable photographe. Pour parvenir à saisir autre chose que la stricte surface du monde, il faut s y plonger. Rencontrer les gens, oser, recommencer, revenir, encore et encore. L exercice apprend la lutte permanente de la création contre l usure ou l égarement. Il permet aussi de découvrir que le métier de photographe peut difficilement se pratiquer seul. Ce projet a abouti à autant de séries qu il y a d étudiants. Quinze séries avec leur cohérence propre, leur esthétique, leur histoire. Pour les besoins de ce cahier thématique, il a fallu faire en sorte que les visions de chacun se rencontrent. Plutôt que d amoindrir les photographies, cette diversité des approches et des styles en dit beaucoup, me semble-t-il, sur ces quartiers résidentiels discrets, si typiques de la Suisse. C est dans le détail et les micro-événements, de petites choses, que l on découvre et comprend un peu mieux ces «grands ensembles» que d ordinaire on ne regarde pas.» Texte de Matthieu Gafsou, photographe et enseignant à l ECAL «Un paysage de la modernité» Du 13 au 21 octobre, du lundi au vendredi, de 11 h à 17 h.

Nicolas-Guy Kunz – Il [fallait] à la Belgique une colonie Still shots of monuments, vestiges, remains of a country s History appear one after the other. An abandoned, neglected past; yet Belgium has a colonial past indeed. It is the history of King Leopold II, but it is also my history. The intertwinement of my family memoirs and the history of Belgium in this film allows creating a new stage for my investigative work on the Belgian Congo with the aim to understand and making people understand what happened 100 years ago. * Belgium needs a colony: inscription on a marble plate sent from Greece to the Minister of Finance by Leopold II even before his accession to the throne.

La Foncière et l ECAL présentent un livre et les résultats d un concours,19.05.2014,Auditorium Leenaards, ECAL En septembre 2013, La Foncière, Fonds de placements immobiliers de droit suisse, et l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne ont initié un concours photographique et la réalisation d un livre conjoint. Jeudi 15 mai 2014 à l ECAL, les fruits de cette collaboration ont révélé toutes leurs saveurs grâce à la remise de quatre prix à des étudiants du Bachelor Photographie, ainsi que par la publication d un ouvrage photographique de 130 pages intitulé «L œil et la pierre». «Pour célébrer notre 60e anniversaire, il nous paraissait intéressant de donner la parole à des étudiants en photographie d une école d art renommée, et de leur offrir l opportunité de poser un regard frais et novateur sur le parc immobilier de La Foncière. Nous avons alors contacté l ECAL et son directeur Alexis Georgacopoulos au début de l été 2013, afin de proposer un véritable partenariat qu ils ont accepté de manière très spontanée», explique Arnaud de Jamblinne, Directeur général de La Foncière. Dès lors, cette collaboration s est orientée vers deux axes forts: la mise en place d un concours et la réalisation d un ouvrage conjoint, tous deux organisés avec les étudiants de 3e année du Bachelor Photographie. Pour le professeur en charge de ce double projet, Nicolas Faure: «l énoncé était particulièrement clair: une carte blanche à tous les élèves pour traiter 200 objets. La seule contrainte était de scénariser un ou des immeubles du parc immobilier de La Foncière dans leurs travaux. Chacun devait apporter son regard, sa culture, ses ressentis, ses envies, sa vision, son savoir-faire pour représenter ces immeubles insérés au cœur du tissu urbain de la Suisse romande.» Les seize étudiants ont travaillé pendant quatre mois, de septembre 2013 à janvier 2014, produisant ainsi de nombreuses images soumises à un jury au début de l année. Ce jury comprenait Sam Stourdzé, directeur du Musée de l Elysée à Lausanne, Luc Debraine, responsable de la rubrique Culture au journal L Hebdo et Arnaud de Jamblinne, directeur général de La Foncière. Vincent Jacquier, responsable de la Communication Visuelle à l ECAL, et Milo Keller, responsable du Bachelor Photographie, ont accompagné le déroulement des travaux du jury en qualité d observateurs. Quatre travaux ont été récompensés par le jury qui a particulièrement remarqué leur vision et originalité, leur technique déjà bien affirmée et leur capacité à dépasser les contraintes apparentes du projet académique. • «Grand prix» de CHF 1 500.- à Jean-Vincent Simonet, né à Bourgoin-Jallieu (France) en 1991 • «Prix du jury» de CHF 500.- à Laura Rimayati, née à Meyrin en 1988 • «Prix du jury» de CHF 500.- à Marie Rime, née à Fribourg en 1989 • «Prix du jury» de CHF 500.- à Manon Wertenbroek, née à Lausanne en 1991 Conjointement à ce concours, un ouvrage de 130 pages intitulé «L œil et la pierre», qui comprend tous les travaux des étudiants, ainsi que des textes rédigés par leurs soins, a été publié à 1 400 exemplaires par La Foncière et l ECAL. Imprimé sur les presses de la société Courvoisier Arts Graphiques à Bienne et réalisé à l ECAL par Pierre Girardin, diplômé du Bachelor Design Graphique, ce livre est disponible directement auprès de La Foncière.

Exhibition "La part du dessin" by Pierre Charpin,01.05–05.06.2014,Gallery l elac, Renens From 1st May to 5th June 2014 at the l elac Gallery in Renens, ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne presents “Pierre Charpin – la part du dessin”. The French designer exhibits some hundred drawings on various media (paper, tarpaulin...). The exhibition is complemented by a 160-page monograph published by JRP | Ringier and a special serigraphy made for the occasion. “If you look closely at the essential purity of objects designed by Pierre Charpin, you will notice a form of discretion, or even frailty. This delicacy is characteristic of a presence that beckons to us rather than pose as a sign. This “poetic” trait in his work is contributed by drawing. Indeed, for Pierre Charpin, drawing has never been just a step in the object production process. It is a practice in its own right which, on the one hand, singles out his signature and, on the other, reflects a relationship more innate to the form. This is why in recent years the corpus of his work includes – along with sketches of objects finalised upon production – “drawings of drawings”. Produced in large formats, these aspire to no further reality than their own. In series of four, of three or sometimes alone, these drawings provide the opportunity of a direct and immediate approach to the world of forms, in line with his artistic training. For it is first and foremost through drawing that a world emerges, appearing before us. Drawing acquires poetic power through the simple economy of its means – a pencil, a surface – and its desire to bring forth the form. Poiesis, in ancient Greek, tells of the creation of a world… by the power of the gods, by the hand of man. Free from the constraints of production, without any other purpose than that imposed by their own momentum, the forms drawn by Pierre Charpin unfold in playful freedom. This is a search, a journey of hand and thought towards a form that is not yet clear, although he may perhaps glimpse it. By endless repetitions of the same gesture, by chromatic variations on the same line or the same point, this tension becomes a plastic strength, an inner dynamism which involves the viewer s eye in the emergence of form. This is where intimate and solitary pleasure turns into a silent and discreet invitation to read between the lines, and beyond the lines, before any shape occurs, the sheer spectacle of art in the making.” Text by Alessandra Fanari Exhibition «Pierre Charpin – La part du dessin» Exhibition open from 1st of May to 5th of June (closed 29th and 30th of May) from Wednesday to Friday, 1pm to 5pm Monography «Pierre Charpin» Collection: Monographs & Artists Book, edited by Lionel Bovier, Clément Dirié Text: Pierre Charpin, Alessandra Fanari, Françoise Guichon, Marco Romanelli Graphic Design Gavillet & Rust Edition English/French, Hardcover, 265 × 200 mm, 160 pages, 2014 CHF 50 / EUR 40 / £ 31 / US 55 ISBN: 978-3-03764-244-3 www.jrp-ringier.com Galerie l elac 5 av. du Temple 1020 Renens +41 (0)21 316 99 33 ecal@ecal.ch www.ecal.ch Biography PIerre Charpin Pierre Charpin was born in 1962 at Saint-Mandé (near Paris) and graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Bourges in 1984. Since the early 1990s he has devoted himself to designing furniture and objects. He lives and works at Ivry-sur-Seine, near Paris. His practice develops centered on experimental projects – in particular ones conducted with the Centre international de recherche sur le verre et les arts plastiques (CIRVA) from 1998 to 2001 or the Centre de recherche sur les arts du feu et de la terre (CRAFT) between 2003 and 2005 – and in the course of his collaborations with renowned manufacturers such as Alessi, Cristallerie de Saint-Louis, Ligne Roset, Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, Montina, Pamar, Tectona, Venini, The Wrong Shop, and Zanotta Edizioni.

Practicalities (La vie matérielle) Exhibition at Basis e.v., Frankfurt , from September 19 to October 13, 2013. "If it s true that every book must have a raison d être , this isn t a book," Marguerite Duras wrote of La vie matérielle , which she published in 1987. Practicalities (La vie matérielle) considers the utopian reach as well as the material bounds pertaining to art produced in the art school s realm. How may a showcase of works by art students be formulated? Can it be an exhibition and function as such? Could one articulate its raison d être anew? This project results from a one-year exchange program initiated by artist Willem de Rooij in collaboration with curator and art critic Stéphanie Moisdon. Conceived by students and recent graduates of the Fine Arts Master directed by Moisdon at ECAL/ Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne, Practicalities is the second part of a twofold exhibition program. It echoes and completes Influence at 1m3, whose display introduced to a Lausanne audience works by artists studying under de Rooij s professorship at Städelschule Frankfurt. Ways of making and displaying art vary from one territory to another. As Practicalities stands at a threshold between two localities, it acknowledges the constraints and liberties one experiences here and there as an artist not yet fully concerned with commercial strategies or institutional demands.
