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 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.

Masterclass ECAL: Amoi Gitai,03.12.2014,IKEA Auditorium, ECAL Masterclass ECAL: Amoi Gitai - Filmmaker, Israel Pour clore la grande rétrospective à la Cinémathèque suisse et l exposition au Musée de l Elysée consacrées à l œuvre d Amos Gitai, l ECAL a le plaisir d accueillir le cinéaste israélien pour une masterclass le mercredi 3 décembre 2014 de 18h à 20h. 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.

Workshop Survival Camp During this workshop, the artist and the second-year Bachelor students spent a week living in a forest in western Lausanne. The shock of being deprived of the usual comforts such as running water, electricity and heating motivated the students to produce an enormous quantity of images. Cooking over an open fire, sleeping under the stars, hunting and fishing were all part of their daily lives, and provided the perfect backdrop for visual experimentation. The responses were manifold, from still to moving images, some dealing directly with delirious contemporary camping. The common denominators of all the works are humor and off-beatness. During Paris Photo, the results are presented in the form of an installation in the unusual urban setting of Les Voûtes. After the week-long workshop in Switzerland, all the students worked with Thomas Mailaender on the design and production of the exhibition. The students experienced a week of installation in total immersion: they lived in the exhibition as they built it. The images are presented in a raw environment, a sort of village, a makeshift camp. This whole process enabled them to confront not only the shooting process, but also the question of producing and exhibiting the images to the public. The exhibition is accompanied by a two-color catalogue-journal produced by the students and printed at the ECAL.

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,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. Documents et œuvres courtesy la Cinémathèque suisse, l Institut suisse pour l étude de l art (SIK-ISEA) et le Musée cantonal des beaux-arts de Lausanne.

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.

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.

ECAL at the Vevey Festival Images,13.09–05.10.2014,Festival Images, Vevey Jusqu au 5 octobre 2014 au Festival Images à Vevey (Quai Maria-Belgia – Quai de la Veveyse), l ECAL présente le projet «Snowpark» de Philippe Fragnière, diplômé du Bachelor Photographie en 2012. Outre les images de l artiste valaisan, la sc énographie a été réalisée par trois étudiants du Bachelor Design Industriel (Iris Andreadis, Anna Heck, Wenxin Ng). Dans le cadre de cette exposition, le Festival Images, l ECAL et Kodoji Press coéditent une publication faisant partie intégrante de ce travail (disponible à la Librairie du Festival sur la place du Marché). Trois autres étudiants du Bachelor Design Industriel (Megan Elisabeth Dinius, Raphaël de Kalbermatten et Léonard Golay) ont également créé directement sur le Lac Léman la scénographie du photographe japonais Yuji Hamada. Philippe Fragnière est né en 1987 dans les Alpes valaisannes en Suisse. En 2008, il entre à l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne où il obtient en 2012 son Bachelor en Photographie. Pour son travail de fin d études, il retourne avec une approche artistique auxsnowparks de son adolescence. L artiste valaisan a parcouru ces rendez-vous sportifs et mis en évidence la relation esthétique existant entre ces aménagements et le paysage alpin à la manière de certaines installations de land art. En proposant son travail où se tenait autrefois une rampe de skateboard à Vevey, le Festival Images inverse le chemin imaginé par l artiste en installant la série Snowpark en ville, face aux montagnes. http://www.images.ch/2014/en/festival-en/program/artists/ecal-philippe-fragniere-2 Publication «Snowpark» de Philippe Fragnière Texte De Joël Vacheron, Anglais 21 X 32 Cm, 64 Encarts Depliables, 18 Images Couleur Pleine Page Couverture Rigide Serigraphiee Kodoji Press, Baden 2014, Isbn 978–3–03747–061–9 http://www.kodoji.com/ Scénographie «Photographic Park» par ECAL/Iris Andreadis, Wenxin Ng et Anna Heck..

Rhona Mühlebach – Off the Highway She s riding an E-Bike while he is on a normal one. The road is steep. Fiction / 22min Synopsis Roman and Linda are a couple that don t have much in common anymore besides drinking Bloody Marys. They go on a bike trip across the Swiss mountains. Roman rides a normal bike although he is out of shape. Linda rides an electrical bike. Their trip quickly becomes more complicated than expected. The couple find themselves at a crossroad and must make a choice. Comment The film Abseits der Autobahn tells a story of love at the end of the road. Rhona dissects the question of desire between a man and a woman, and it is breathless and on the verge of an asthma attack that they reveal their relationship that is unraveling, the darkness of their feelings, in other words, the passage of time with its indelible traces. In a natural setting in the midst of the changing seasons, in a film in motion that plays on the stretching of time, in its relationship to the actors, in its mastery of space, Rhona asserts her aesthetic choice and her influences.

Christophe Saber – DISCIPLINE It s 9:30pm in a grocery store in Lausanne, Switzerland. The place is run by Egyptians. In a moment of anger, a father looses patience and disciplines his disobedient child. Fiction / 10min Synopsis It s 9:30pm in a grocery store in Lausanne, Switzerland. The place is run by Egyptians. In a moment of anger, a father looses patience and disciplines his disobedient child. A shocked customer immediately intervenes to express her concern. Other customers join the conversation, they each put in their two cents and the staff is swamped. This discussion turns into a debate, which into quarrel. The situation gradually gets out of hand and into chaos… Comment Discipline is a choral movie that not only asserts its form with elegance and brilliance, working on the unity of time and place, but also forcefully captures the way in which cultures, languages and prejudices can confront each other, following a small prosaic incident that takes place in a convenience store and inexorably degenerates. Or how the singularity of a situation can support a universal subject, enriched by the director s uncompromising eye.

Julia Bünter – Deadline Adrienne is about to turn 30 years old. She realizes she s never had an orgasm. She decides to get it by any means. Fiction / 19min Synopsis Adrienne is about to turn 30 years old. She realizes she s never had an orgasm. She decides to get it by any means. Commentaire Comme tous les sujets très sérieux, la quête de l orgasme se prête particulièrement bien à la comédie. Julia Bünter a l extrême élégance de risquer le rire plutôt que l introspection morale, brossant ainsi le portrait au vitriol d une époque où jouir est une obligation. Comment oublier cette scène d anthologie où l héroïne et son amie prétendument lesbienne car camionneuse testent l une sur l autre la meilleure façon de se masturber. Le beau souci de « Jour J », c est de rire de l intime sans jamais être graveleux.

Project by ECAL for Vacheron Constantin presented in Asia,11.06–15.08.2014,Taipei, Seoul, Shanghai, Nanjing Vacheron Constantin will present the project "The Minute Repeater" by ECAL /University of Art & Design Lausanne during this summer in various Asian cities (Taipei, Seoul, Shanghai, Nanjing ...). On the occasion of the 24th edition of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), which took place at Geneva in January 2014, the ECAL created, for watchmaker Vacheron Constantin, this special installation, result of a research work directed at ECAL by Vincent Jacquier, Head of Visual Communication Department, and Alain Bellet, Head of Bachelor Media & Interaction Design. This research, which brings together students from both Bachelor in Media & Interaction Design and Industrial Design, permitted to develop a stand for the watchmaker based in Geneva. Not less than 12 screens reveal the oneiric sense of the Calibre 1731 of Vacheron Constantin. Thank to the animations unveiled on each screen by the magic of magnifying glasses, ECAL proposes its interpretation of this minute repeater movement, known to be the flattest on the market.

Charlotte de Rufz – Flaunting it Leo, a young inexperienced actor, finds himself one night into the clutches of Astrid, an all-powerful film director and devourer of men. Fiction / 17min Synopsis Leo, a young inexperienced actor, finds himself one night into the clutches of Astrid, an all-powerful film director and devourer of men. Together in this upper class woman s home, they engage in a courtship, both sensual and distant, unequal and versatile, in which they try to lead the other into the place of their fantasy. Commentaire Constructed as a love duel, Parades features a director and a young actor who meet, for one evening, in the apartment of the latter. Games of seduction, moral confrontation, verbal jousting, complex desires punctuate this "Kammerspiel" in an incisive and frontal way. And this, until the dizziness of the confusion of the kinds, capturing in hollow a poignant melancholy. Frédéric Mermoud / Director
Collaboration with Vacheron Constantin – 2014 A five-days programme conceived of workshop introductions, factory visits and brainstorming at Vacheron Constantin in order to present the brand s key values to the students. Eclipse Rachel Suming As the hands of a clock can have stressful connotations, I imagined a clock which would only show the passing of time with its frame. Deconstructed into three motorised elements turning on the same rhythm, the clock is a constantly evolving shape. After an introduction to the watchmaking world at Vacheron Constantin, I turned to the guillochage technique for my project. Making videos, graphic research, and playing with watch movements were all part of my design process when developing this project. Whyte Jake Adam Moore When visiting Vacheron Constantin s manufacture I was most struck by the beauty of mechanical principles. This was something I intended to push further by exploring simple mechanics utilised by other industries and bringing them into the watchmaking world. Inspired by the workings of Locomotive wheels, this project aims to break the traditional graphic associated with the clock face. Replacing the conventional watch hands with one hand which connects both hours and minutes, the result is an ever changing and seemingly random composition. Gong Repeater Jordi Pla The concept of Gong Repeater is directly inspired from the mechanical techniques found in "Haute Horlogerie", which I discovered at Vacheron Constantin, in particular the fascinating relationship between time and sound as heard in their minute repeaters. For centuries the gong has been a way to communicate time passing and so I was keen to creating a device which would indicate time through sound. In order to give a unique and mystic dimension and transmit ancestral values, I have chosen to work with a brass bowl from Tibet. Used for prayers, this object is the heart of my project. The contrast between this old gong and my contemporary clock illustrate the mechanical principal of the minute repeater watch from Vacheron Constantin. When a hand passes the sensor, the clock rings hours, quarters and minutes. L univers infiniment petit Samuel Williams This project is inspired by the infinitely small world of Vacheron Constantin and by a tool that is indispensable to Master Watchmakers, allowing them to penetrate the heart of the world s smallest and most complicated mechanisms. This is the watchmaker s magnifying glass. This perpetual calendar invites us to discover time on the scale of the Watchmakers, with the aim of borrowing their gestures and tools and looking at a new illustration of the passing of time.

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.

ECAL Milano 2014: «Avant-garde Retro» with Cassina,08–13.04.2014,Showroom Cassina, via Durini 16, Milan During the Milan International Furniture Fair from 8 to 13 April 2014, Cassina presents a selection of projects by ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne at its showroom in via Durini 16. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Maralunga sofa, designed for the Italian brand by Vico Magistretti, the students from the Master Product Design programme have developed new sofa projects based on this icon s chassis. The project was directed by Alexis Georgacopoulos and Tomas Kral. Images HD As a tribute to the 40th anniversary of Maralunga sofa, Cassina challenged 20 international sudents from the ECAL Master Product Design programme to design the sofa of the future starting from the Maralunga chassis. The brief? Simple, comfort first and foremost. The students got their initial inspiration for the project during a visit to the Cassina factory in Meda where they were able to get a feel for the history of the brand and observe production techniques. Following this visit, various workshops with the ECAL Director, Alexis Georgacopoulos, and the designer Tomas Kral were organised, as well as two analysis meetings with the Cassina R&D Centre, which resulted in 20 integrated projects. The work entailed a semester of study, research and development and led to some surprising proposals. During the Milan International Furnitue Fair 2014, Cassina will showcase the two winning prototypes, one by Qiyun Deng, a Chinese girl born in 1983, and the other by Jin Eum, a Korean girl born in 1987, together with models chosen from 6 other projects. A special display dedicated to the world of Maralunga will also on show at the historic Cassina showroom in Milan.

The exhibition features a series of objects presenting a playful interpretation take on the concept of the “smart home”. They were made by Bachelor students in Industrial Design and Media & Interaction Design at the ECAL. A project directed by Alain Bellet and Chris Kabel. Images HD “ With Delirious Home, ECAL students teach us to take control of the latest techniques and appliances we thought controlled us. The students demonstrate their artful mastery of electronics, mechanics and interaction, developing a new kind of esthetic which goes further than just a formal approach,” explain Alain Bellet and Chris Kabel, the heads of the project. The “Delirious Home” exhibition presents with humour and originality a selection of projects arising from fruitful collaborations between Bachelor students in Industrial Design and Media & Interaction Design at the ECAL. For one semester, students worked in groups to concoct friendly mirrors that reflect only our image when we look at them: hypersensitive cactuses that like it when we give them a caress, two armchairs that invite you to enjoy a lively and meaningful “tête-à-tête”, a series of food domes that celebrate taste sensations with mellow sounds when they re opened, a group of containers that defies the laws of gravity, a clock that imitates your gestures, a very accommodating curtain, a fan that amplifies your breath, and a spoon able to follow a cup wherever it goes.

Exhibition and book "Ecal Photography" The exhibition offers a selection of works produced by 58 young talents during their Photography Bachelor curriculum at ECAL. All these images were chosen by exhibition curator Nathalie Herschdorfer, who has developed several internationally acclaimed projects around emerging photography, as well as by Milo Keller, head of the Photography programme at ECAL, and Alexis Georgacopoulos, ECAL director. The scenography of the exhibition is created especially by Swiss designer Adrien Rovero. The “ECAL Photography” book (296 pages, 385 images) supports this event. This book is produced by art publishers Hatje Cantz, with a worldwide reputation for their catalogue of publications on photography. An art school is an image factory. New generations of artists are constantly emerging, joining the marathon of exhibitions and publications from the very first years of their creative lives. In this context, the art school has become a particularly attractive place for ambitious young artists. This book features a selection of works by photography students from one of the world s top art universities: ECAL, in Lausanne, Switzerland, an institution commited to training artists, graphic designers, industrial designers, typographers, filmmakers, interaction designers, and photographers. Here, students create freely, question the traditional genres, explore new territories, and experiment with and beyond their media. The works revealed by the “ECAL Photography” exhibition and collected in the eponymous book are bound to trace the beginnings of innovative practices in photography.
