ECAL-Typefaces.ch

ECAL-Typefaces.ch,30.04.2015,Harpe 45, Lausanne ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne launches an online foundry in association with Swiss Typefaces, allowing to acquire fonts realized by the students in Bachelor Graphic Design and in Master Art Direction. A premiere for a school! www.ecal-typefaces.ch With this website created in collaboration with Swiss Typefaces, ECAL is probably the first university in the world to have launched an online type foundry, allowing direct access for anyone to a selection of typefaces, all designed by students. Thanks to renowned professors such as François Rappo, Aurèle Sack, Ian Party, Gilles Gavillet and Ludovic Balland, and prestigious visiting lecturers such as Frederik Berlaen, Kai Bernau, Peter Bilak, Laurenz Brunner, Christian Schwartz, Paul Barnes and Emmanuel Rey, ECAL has been able to boast a solid reputation in Type Design teaching for several years. Fonts designed by students during the Bachelor Graphic Design and Master Art Direction courses (or for the diploma) are regularly used for ECAL corporate communications (posters, invitations cards, catalogues...), and because of this usage, people often ask to us how to acquire these typefaces, in particular our Headline Fonts. This website is here to answer those requests. ECAL is proud to be able to share these fonts with the largest possible audience and to offer a platform for our students, deserving heirs of a typically Swiss know-how.

Exhibition «Antoine Boudin – Arundo e Estrambord»,29.04–29.05.2015,Gallery l elac, ECAL Du 1 er au 29 mai 2015 à la Galerie l elac à Renens, l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne présente «Antoine Boudin – Arundo e Estrambord». Proposée dans le cadre des Designer s Days au Palais de Tokyo à Paris en 2014, cette exposition du designer français, diplômé en 2008 du Bachelor Design Industriel de l ECAL, aborde la thématique du mouvement avec la présence d un bateau réalisé en cannes de Provence et dévoile les nouveaux matériaux, ainsi que les objets issus de cette recherche. Dans la continuité de son projet sur la canne de Provence initié avec la Bourse Agora pour le Design, Antoine Boudin présente un nouveau volet de son travail à partir de cette graminée géante. Il propose un point de vue fort sur la place du designer dans la valorisation de déchets issus d une culture très présente dans le Var. Le designer invite également l artiste vidéaste Jean-Baptiste Warluzel à travers une installation et des vidéos qui poussent l art et le design au dialogue avec la canne de Provence comme matière première. Antoine Boudin Antoine Boudin est né en Avignon en 1986. Il est diplômé de l ECAL (Bachelor Design Industriel) en 2008 avec «Quieu Bagna», un bateau de camps à voile latine. En 2009, il assiste le designer Alexander Taylor à Londres avant de remporter le grand prix du jury de Design Parade 4, présidé par Jasper Morrison. Il devient ensuite l assistant de François Azambourg de 2009 à 2011. En 2010, il présente quatorze nouvelles pièces dans son exposition «…E ié vivèn de belli causo» («… et on y vit de belles choses»), retraçant un an de résidence à la Villa Noailles à Hyères. Passionné par la matière et par le «faire», Antoine Boudin développe un travail axé sur les matériaux ancrés dans le territoire où il est amené à travailler, s inscrivant dans une démarche d éco-conception. Ses projets sont influencés par ses origines provençales et méditerranéennes, abordant l industrie et l artisanat avec la même volonté d innovation. En 2011, il ouvre son propre atelier à Hyères afin de développer de nouveaux projets et de continuer ses recherches sur les matériaux, la Provence et la mer. En parallèle, il enseigne le design à l Ecole Supérieure d Art et Design Toulon Provence Méditerranée (ESADTPM). www.antoineboudin.com «Antoine Boudin – Arundo e Estrambord» Exposition ouverte du 1er au 29 mai 2015 (fermée les 14 et 15 mai) du mercredi au vendredi de 13h à 17h.

Collaboration with Vacheron Constantin Project
Collaboration with Vacheron Constantin

Collaboration with Vacheron Constantin Vacheron Constantin presents the “Arts & Crafts & Design: Time according to ECAL and Swiss Craftsmen”, an exhibition produced in partnership with ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne and the Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d Arte for the Swiss Pavilion at the Milan Expo (May 1st – October 31st 2015), and presented as a preview during the Salone del Mobile at the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi in Milan. This original approach links contemporary creation to several time-honoured know-hows. Within the framework of this project, Vacheron Constantin has asked 12 students from the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship of ECAL to combine their creativity with that of experienced craftsmen in order to produce unique objects and demonstrate the richness, the variety, as well as the relevance to contemporary creation of these artisanal crafts. Under the leadership of Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin (Studio Formafantasma) these 12 “duos” have worked on the same theme, Time, and more precisely on the cyclical time of the seasons, using materials as diverse as paper, stone, glass or carbon.

#Photobooth Project
#Photobooth

#Photobooth The ECAL students of the Bachelor Photography and Master Product Design present a series of interactive installations showing how mobile phone cameras and the selfie phenomenon changed the way we look at ourselves. How can one create objects and installations around the portrait theme in this digital age? What means are available to disseminate these? How can one make visitors interact with the exhibits and turn viewers into the main actors in the exhibition? Over a semester, 1st year Master Product Design students and 2nd year Bachelor Photography students from ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne worked on these issues with the aim to present their findings as part of an exhibition. Under the watchful eye of Vincent Jacquier, Head of the Visual Communication Department, of designer Camille Blin and photographer Nicolas Haeni, the students were able to understand, using various approaches, how current – material or virtual – technology alters our traditional relationship with portraits, be they selfies or pictures of others. Using modern media as well as more run-of-the-mill devices, exhibition visitors are invited to directly experiment the processes imagined by the students, allowing them to discover new interactive and fun ways of having their picture taken 3.0 style. Based on this principle, the exhibition stages an installation playing with the visitor s shadow; the combination of a mirror and scanner to create realistic or distorted self-portraits; an image which is altered through song; a tribute to famous departed designers through a system of filters placed in front of a smartphone; analogically merged faces; a 180° portrait produced by a range of reflective surfaces; a trompe-l œil projection on a mask; a family of objects able to hijack the smartphone camera function to create original images; a poetic reinterpretation Instagram; and finally, self-portraits captured by the photo itself.

Printmaking by ECAL

Printmaking by ECAL As part of its mission to showcase contemporary creativity, the Cabinet cantonal des estampes presents its recently acquired holdings of editions by the ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne. ECAL s publishing activities begin in 1995. Their aim is to involve students in practical projects and preserve a record of the artists who teach or are active at the institution. The initial phase, lasting until 1999, is concerned mainly with multiples; from 2007 a new project shifts the focus to lithography and screen printing. The corpus of some 70 prints produced since that time bears witness to the diversity of contemporary artistic approaches. John M Armleder, Pierre Charpin, Constance Guisset, Fabrice Gygi, Alex Hanimann, David Hominal, Helen Marten, Karim Noureldin, Mai-Thu Perret and Olivier Saudan reveal their preoccupation with the art of the print and the graphic resources available within the multiplied image.

Process of improvisation: performance and situated action Project
Process of improvisation: performance and situated action

Process of improvisation: performance and situated action Performance and situated action, from social sciences to artistic practices This transdisciplinary research project aims to elaborate a critical and collaborative reflexion, between social sciences and artistic practices (i.e. visual arts, performance arts, music and film) upon the function of improvisation, as a theoretical model and a creative process, related to situated action and performance. Based on recent researches in social sciences around improvisation through different modes of actions (conversations, urgency situations, etc.), the stakes is to understand how artistic models inform social theories and render legible their interpretative process. At the same time, the ambition of this research project is to demonstrate that these same models are at the core of artistic practices and can shade a new light on the creative process. During the first year, the research resolves around four workshops-laboratories led by an artist and involving Bachelor students in each art school: Oscar Gomez Mata at the HETSR, Véronique Goël at ECAL, Yan Duyvendak at HEAD and Rudy Decelière at HEMU. During the second year, the workshop-laboratory will be led in common with the four art schools and will take shape through a collaborative research and experimental form, presented to the audience at the end of the project. A colloquium in May 2015 and a special issue of the anthropological magazine Gradhiva will conclude this research project.Main applicantManufacture - HETSR, Frédéric Plazy, with Serge Margel and Claire de RibaupierreCo-applicantsFrançois Bovier (ECAL) Christophe KihZ (HEAD – Genève) Angelika Güsewell with Bastien Gallet (HEMU)Periodseptember 2013 – september 2015Supported bySwiss National Fund (SNF)

Heart of glass Project
Heart of glass

Heart of glass This project questions the potential for glass in contemporary art and design to adopt a pragmatic approach with a view to producing extraordinary results. This research project also offers a cutting- edge model in the field of creative research, which places students at the heart of the process. Given the particular qualities of glass, the multiple shapes it can take and its many potential applications to art, crafts and industry, the Heart of Glass project has chosen to experiment with this material and explore new opportunities for creating and designing products. This project was partly driven by a need to question certain modes of production, both in industry and in the crafts, that are central to the concerns of young designers today. This research has also generated productive links between practical experimentation, the evaluation of the findings of these experiments and their ultimate dissemination. Finally, leaving aside the issues involved in project development itself, Heart of Glass offers a potential model for research-creation in design, based on an innovative, forward-looking approach. The objectives of the project included: developing and conducting a range of activities rooted in developing original tools and procedures and contributing to the state of the art and current body of knowledge relating to the design of glass products; using protocols to document experimental and empirical developments to ensure that experiences are shared and skills are applied; proposing samples and prototypes of objects whose formal and/or functional qualities render them suitable subjects for promising further developments; creating relevant links between experimentation, documentation and assessment to furnish designers with a suitable research methodology. The research team first identified, through a review of the literature and the potential partnerships, the best opportunities available for experimenting with new approaches in designing products in glass. On the basis of this, they identified three key themes: the application of industrial technologies to contexts other than those for which they had been designed; the design of glass projects in the context of a semi-industrial production and marketing structure; the forming of new refractory materials for the design of moulds to produce objects. Initially, these themes gave rise to practical workshops for students and assistants in the Master s degree in Product Design, supervised by professors and lecturers from ECAL. Plan B: this work on industrial technologies led to the creation of five prototypes that illustrated the potential of each of the procedures used. Technical data sheets explained their working principles. ​​​​​Meisenthal: six prototypes were created during a workshop held at CIAV (Centre International d Art Verrier). They were each supported by fact sheets that describe the manufacturing process. Mould Machine: in the course of a workshop covering the forming of original moulds, representative samples of the most promising techniques were selected. Different fact sheets were drawn up identifying the properties of each material tested. ​​​​​At a later stage, the most promising findings from each workshop were selected, and representative items were produced by practitioners from product design-related disciplines for the final project exhibition. The Heart of Glass project allowed us to develop an entire range of original tools and procedures, and consequently a very large number of samples that could serve as sources of inspiration for the design of future glass objects. A wide selection of the most interesting pieces was presented at the exhibition that marked the closure of the project. They can also be viewed on the website. In the context of this research-creation project and in accordance with the model developed by ECAL, the use of experimental workshops based on tightly defined complementary themes has proved to be extremely effective in developing original, innovative artefacts. Extreme care went into workshop organisation to ensure a clear fit between objectives and findings: the tools and procedures that were developed broadly met our expectations and the resulting datasheets offered a first, promising attempt to record and disseminate these experiments. Heart of Glass is the first of a series of research-creation projects focusing on design and materials. To its credit, this first experiment led to very important discussions about the definition of research in design and how it could be included within a master s degree curriculum. The publication that grew out of the project offers clear evidence, among other things, of this discussion.Main applicantECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne (project leader)Research team, , Visiting lecturersRonan Bouroullec, Matteo Gonet Cyril Porchet, Mathieu Rivier, Pauline Saglio, Baker WardlawSupported byECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne Strategic fund of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO RCDAV)PartnersBaccarat, CIAV Meisenthal, Matteo Gonet/GlassworksPeriodnovember 2012 – february 2015DisseminationExhibitions Heart of Glass, ELAC (Espace Lausannois d Art Contemporain), Renens, 22.01–20.02.2015.

Né en 1950 à Haïfa, deux ans après la création de l Etat d Israël, Amos Gitai étudie l architecture et commence par réaliser des documentaires après avoir participé à la guerre du Kippour, où il faillit perdre la vie. Il entreprend une description en profondeur de la société et de l histoire d Israël et de la Palestine. Travail analytique qu il poursuivra dans des fictions comme Kadosh, Promised Land ou Kedma. En 1982, la polémique déclenchée par Yoman Sade (Journal de campagne) le contraint à quitter Israël pour Paris. A travers différentes méthodes narratives et stylistiques (films, théâtre, installations, livres...), il continue d étudier les thèmes transversaux de l exil et de l immigration tout en se focalisant sur les destins croisés de ceux qui composent l histoire d Israël.

Exhibition and book Vertiginous Parallels Project
Exhibition and book Vertiginous Parallels

Exhibition and book Vertiginous Parallels From November 14 to December 4, 2014, Elac Gallery presents Vertige des correspondances (Vertiginous parallels), an exhibition by ECAL s Fine Arts Master students, while ECAL launches an eponymous publication. The show and the book are the twofold outcome of a research project directed by Julien Fronsacq with the support of HES-SO/University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland. The works of Charles Blanc-Gatti (1890-1966) are largely unknown. In his search for synesthetic harmony, this musicalist painter also played with a loss of spatial markers. These two sides of Blanc-Gatti s art are explored in this project, through the relationship the artist entertained with the alpine space. The show presents a novel selection of artworks and documents by Charles Blanc-Gatti, together with works by student-researchers Jérôme Baccaglio, Anaïs Defago, Arthur Fouray, Julien Gremaud, Marine Julié, Emanuele Marcuccio, Rubén Valdez and Linda Voorwinde. Vertiginous Parallels is also a bilingual (FR/EN) publication comprising 188 pages with 85 reproductions from Blanc-Gatti s archives. Published by ECAL and distributed by Presses du réel, the book is edited by Julien Fronsacq in collaboration with Lucile Dupraz, with graphic design by Marietta Eugster and Teo Schifferli, and photographs by Jonas Marguet. Experts from various fields have contributed essays, including the music specialist Maxime Guitton, the art historian and curator Gallien Déjean, the cinema historian Teresa Castro, the artist and historian of medicine Jelena Martinovic, and the art historian and modern danse specialist Sarah Burkhalter. Documents and works by Charles Blanc-Gatti courtesy the Swiss Film Archive, the Swiss Institute for Art Research (SIK-ISEA) and the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts in Lausanne.

Exhibition "Vertiginous Parallels" at the Gallery l'elac

Exhibition "Vertiginous Parallels" at the Gallery l elac,13.11–04.12.2014,Gallery l elac, ECAL Du 14 novembre au 4 décembre 2014 (vernissage le jeudi 13 novembre à 18h), la Galerie l elac présente une exposition réalisée par les étudiants du Master Arts Visuels de l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne, dans le cadre de «Vertige des correspondances», projet de recherche sous la direction de Julien Fronsacq et soutenu par la HES-SO/Haute école spécialisée de Suisse occidentale. L œuvre de Charles-Blanc Gatti (1890-1966), figure trop méconnue de la peinture musicaliste, se situe entre une quête d harmonie synesthésique et la perte de repères sensoriels. Ces deux versants sont abordés dans l exposition «Vertige des correspondances» à travers le prisme de la relation que l artiste suisse a entretenu avec l espace alpin. En présentant une sélection inédite d œuvres et d archives de Blanc-Gatti, «Vertige des correspondances» offre une vue d ensemble de la production de l artiste non étudiée auparavant: en parallèle à sa participation à l aventure musicaliste, et à ses écrits au sujet des sons et couleurs, Charles Blanc-Gatti fut également un inventeur et écrivain qui n a eu de cesse d éprouver les forces que l espace exerce sur le corps et nos sens. En s appuyant sur «Chromophony» – film animé, abstrait et musical réalisé en 1939 –, les étudiants-chercheurs du Master Arts Visuels de l ECAL ont souhaité s affranchir d une approche exclusivement formelle de l œuvre de Charles Blanc-Gatti, au profit d une étude décloisonnée de l ensemble de ses recherches conceptuelles. «Vertige des correspondances» propose de découvrir les recherches de Charles Blanc-Gatti dans les domaines artistiques et au-delà. A la fin de sa vie, après l élaboration d espaces picturaux, lumineux puis cinématographiques, Blanc-Gatti se consacre à l observation de paysages alpins qu il conçoit à la manière de spectacles dont il réalise des relevés cartographiques et sensoriels. «Vertige des correspondances» est également une publication bilingue (FR/EN) de 188 pages avec 85 reproductions issues des archives de Charles Blanc-Gatti, conçue en collaboration avec les graphistes Marietta Eugster et Teo Schifferli et le photographe Jonas Marguet. Elle comprend des contributions d experts issus de disciplines complémentaires: Maxime Guitton, spécialiste en musique, programmateur musical et ancien assistant de la compositrice Eliane Radigue; Gallien Déjean, historien de l art et commissaire d exposition; Teresa Castro, historienne du cinéma; Jelena Martinovic, historienne de la médecine et artiste; et Sarah Burkhalter, historienne de l art et de la danse moderne.

Exhibition "Survival Camp" in Paris Photo Event
Exhibition "Survival Camp" in Paris Photo

Exhibition "Survival Camp" in Paris Photo,08–15.11.2014,Les Voûtes, Paris From 9th to 15th of November at Les Voûtes in Paris, ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne is pleased to invite you to an exhibition by third-year Photography Bachelor students further to a workshop led by French photographer Thomas Mailaender. HD pictures The artist and the students spent a full week in complete isolation in a forest of the Wild West of Lausanne. Once over the shock of the lack of usual comforts such as running water, electricity or heating, the young photographers embraced this new lifestyle which fuelled their imagination, leading them to produce a huge number of images. Cooking over a wood fire, sleeping under the stars, hunting and fishing became ​​their everyday life and an enabling environment for visual experiments. The responses were varied, from still images to moving images, with some directly depicting contemporary delirious camping, while others flirt with historical reminiscences of the camps of the Great War. But one thing all works have in common is an offbeat sense of humour. During Paris Photo, the outcome is presented as an installation in an unusual place in an urban setting, Les Voûtes. After the one-week workshop in Switzerland all students worked with Thomas Mailaender on the design and set-up of the exhibition. The installation was a week of full immersion for the students, as they lived in the exhibition while setting it up. The images are displayed in a raw environment, a sort of village or makeshift camp. All this allowed them to go beyond the process of taking shots to tackle the issue of the production and exhibition of these images to the public. The exhibition is accompanied by a duotone catalogue-newspaper produced by the students and printed at ECAL. Private view on Saturday 8 November 2014 from 6pm to 10pm Exhibition from Sunday 9 November to Saturday 15 November 2014, 11am to 8pm DJ set on Friday 14 November 2014 from 9pm Les Voûtes 19 rue des Frigos 75013 Paris M14 arrêt Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand www.lesvoutes.org

Les inciter à explorer cette  région  à la manière d un trappeur ou d un touriste éclairé afin d élargir et de diversifier leurs champs de connaissance et tenter ainsi de les aider à mieux percevoir les contours nécessairement mouvants de leur  territoire. Pour cette exposition, les étudiants ont été invités à envisager leurs productions artistiques comme des feux, des dispositifs d allumages. Ceci afin de tenter de s approcher le plus possible des choses qui les animent. L étincelle étant nécessaire à tout engagement. « Construire un feu » c est poser la question du foyer. « Construire un feu » c est l idée de la lanterne magique. « Construire un feu » c est les notions de chaud/froid. « Construire un feu » c est la question de la destruction, de l autodafé. « Construire un feu » c est être prêt à envisager la suite. *Jack London  To Build a Fire , 1907 Une exposition réalisée par les étudiants de troisième année Bachelor Arts Visuels, dans le cadre du cours de Denis Savary.

Vitra & ECAL: "Out of the Box" at Designers' Saturday Event
Vitra & ECAL: "Out of the Box" at Designers' Saturday

Vitra & ECAL: "Out of the Box" at Designers Saturday,01–02.11.2014,Designers Saturday, Langenthal At the 15th edition of Designers Saturday in Langenthal on 1–2 November 2014, Vitra and ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne invite you to discover the mythical aura of great furniture classics. The installation ‘Out of the Box , designed by Joelle Aeschlimann and Sylvain Aebischer, offers an enjoyable exploration of the inception, production and impact of these iconic designs. (Pictures HD) Pieces like the Eames Lounge Chair, the Panton Chair or the Landi Chair are counted among the great classics of industrial furniture design. Over the years they have earned iconic status and established their place as cherished objects in our everyday lives. But how were these designs created, and who was responsible for them? What is the source of their enduring appeal, and why do they only get better with age? Last but not least: how were they originally produced, and how are they manufactured today? With their installation ‘Out of the Box , Joelle Aeschlimann and Sylvain Aebischer – graduates of ECAL Lausanne in the respective fields of Media & Interaction Design and Industrial Design – provide an entertaining look at well-known furniture classics. The factory stands at the focus of their installation as the place where design objects are created. Stories, myths, ideas and objects emerge and intersect in the factory. It is where designer and developer work on prototypes, where materials are processed and details are refined, where structural components are assembled by people and machines, where the finished furniture pieces are packed and shipped, and where the classics are repaired and refurbished even after decades of use. The exhibition is located on the production floor of the Ruckstuhl factory in Langenthal (Bleienbachstrasse 9, 4901 Langenthal) and is open to the public on 1 November, 9:00 am to 6:30 pm / 2 November, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Jannis Project
Jannis

Alma Cecilia Suarez – Jannis Jannis is a photographic atlas portraying a young Chinese man who migrated  to Singapore. In search of identity, he oscillates between his native culture and western influences. This multifaceted person is portrayed by the play of contrasts between archive images, portraits and writing. These typologies come together to form a complex imaging of this person. Jannis plays with his image and affirms himself through it; its reflection has a universal character.

Die Nacktwanderer Project
Die Nacktwanderer

Die Nacktwanderer When I saw a nudist beach for the first time last summer, I immediately knew  that I had to deal with this group nudity in my diploma. “Naked hiking” is a modern split-off from which even primal naturists take distance; nudity in public provokes.  Nudity and Nature have always been big subjects in art. Inspired by the romantic paintings I was hunting for photographs which feature this tension between romantic nature and disturbing contemporary elements – an opposition between nature and culture.

Exhibition Gavillet & Rust Event
Exhibition Gavillet & Rust

Exhibition Gavillet & Rust,25.09–11.10.2014,Gallery l elac, Renens Du 26 septembre au 11 octobre 2014 à la Galerie l elac à Renens, l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne présente une exposition conçue et réalisée par Gavillet & Rust avec Vincent Devaud à partir de la collection du FRAC Champagne-Ardenne (France). Images HD «A l invitation du FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, le studio de design graphique Gavillet & Rust, responsable depuis 2008 de l identité graphique du FRAC, a conçu un dispositif inédit de présentation de sa collection. «Quel regard porter sur une collection? Selon quel axe l aborder? Thématique? Chronologique? Les possibilités sont nombreuses, et chacune d elles raconte une histoire particulière. Les membres du studio de design graphique Gavillet & Rust, invités à écrire leur propre récit, ont abordé la question d une manière assez singulière, en appliquant à la collection les codes et systèmes qu ils manient dans leur pratique quotidienne du graphisme. Ainsi, plutôt que de s atteler à un display «classique» d œuvres, c est à la représentation de celles-ci qu ils se sont intéressés. Un parti pris qui fait notamment écho au célèbre «Ceci n est pas une pipe» de Magritte. Une vingtaine de visuels ont été sélectionnés, permettant de multiples combinaisons possibles via un étonnant jeu d impressions et de surimpressions en sérigraphie. Aucune irrévérence dans cet exercice, plutôt un plaisir certain à s emparer d images au «potentiel graphique» indéniable, à les superposer, les confronter, les recadrer, voire les manipuler. La proposition de Gavillet & Rust mêle par ailleurs deux approches a priori radicalement antinomiques que sont le temps de l exposition et celui de la communication visuelle. Le premier laisse la possibilité de se familiariser à l œuvre, de l appréhender dans un contexte spécifique, pensé pour lui rendre justice au mieux. Le second, en revanche, nécessite un impact immédiat, afin de marquer les esprits dans un environnement surchargé de signes. Les graphistes sont ici parvenus à trouver un rare équilibre entre ces deux temporalités. Si les affiches éditées – d un format de 120 x 176 cm, fidèle au placard urbain à la française – sont efficaces et immédiatement séduisantes, elles restent toutefois énigmatiques, demandant un second temps de lecture pour se dévoiler dans leur entièreté. Et les questions d affleurer: quel rapport entre le portrait des deux trublions britanniques Gilbert & George réalisé par Gérard Rondeau et les peintures pop de Michel Majerus? Comment la Joconde de Filliou dialogue-t-elle avec les expérimentations photographiques de James Welling? Les clichés de Robert Adams peuvent-ils s accommoder des appropriations de Raymond Hains? Si certains «assemblages» ne manquent pas de surprendre, on ne peut que souligner la richesse d une telle proposition, chaque affiche créée recélant une potentielle exposition et offrant une lecture inédite des différentes œuvres réunies sur le papier.» Texte de Florence Derieux, directrice du FRAC Champagne-Ardenne Biographie de Gavillet & Rust (www.gavillet-rust.com) Gavillet & Rust est une agence fondée en 2001 par Gilles Gavillet & David Rust spécialisée dans le design éditorial et les identités visuelles. Depuis 2004, Gavillet & Rust assure la direction artistique des éditions JRP|Ringier à Zürich. Le studio a collaboré avec différentes institutions internationales, notamment le Centre Pompidou à Paris (2008), la Biennale d Art de Venise (2011) et le Guggenheim Museum de New York (2014). Parmi leurs clients figurent Marc Newson et les montres Ikepod ou Jay-Z pour qui le studio a réalisé l identité de son label Roc Nation (2009). Depuis 2013, le studio collabore avec Art|Basel sur le nouveau catalogue de la foire. En 2012, le studio a reçu le Grand Prix Design de la Confédération. «Adams x Burr x de Cointet x Coplans x Cordebard x Craven x Dheurle x Durham x Filliou x Fontcuberta x General Idea x Hains x Hains x Hains x Kasten x Majerus x Majerus x Rondeau x Wall x Welling» de Gavillet & Rust avec Vincent Devaud.
