Backstage Romeo and Juliet Directed with the students of the Master cinema ECAL x HEAD, Backstage Romeo and Juliet is an immersion in the backstage of a ballet at the Grand Theater of Geneva during a performance. Documentary Synopsis The show behind the show: Backstage Romeo and Juliet is an immersion in the backstage of a ballet at the Grand Theater of Geneva for the duration of a performance. A space where dancers, technicians and musicians evolve, where the extreme tension of the performance and the relaxed expectation, the physical excellence and the daily work are mixed. The interest is not to film the artistic process and the elaboration of a show, but rather the functioning of the "machinery" behind the stage, before, during and after the performance. To capture the gestures and actions of the actors, dancers and technicians, make-up artists, props makers, set designers, lighting directors... everything that is organized around the stage. The interest of the proposed exercise is to capture the interactions between people, the expectation, the tension, the signs of coordination.
Diploma jury – 2009 In addition to the different collaborations during their year at ECAL, the students of the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship are encouraged to work on a project of their own, more experimental and personal.
DeMo The exhibition design is a creative process that consists in moving from the idea of an exhibition to its display and communication. As a multidisciplinary and collective activity, it brings together those responsible for determining the content of an exhibition museum management, curators, exhibition curators and those involved its practical realization scenographers or exhibition designers. The ECAL and the HEAD Geneva offer trainings in different branches involved in exhibition design: visual communication, interior architecture and industrial and product design. Since September 2006, they are combining their efforts to carry out applied research in exhibition design following two complementary lines of research: • Experimentation : by setting up research workshops with the aim of testing concrete and innovative solutions to questions raised within contemporary exhibition design. Three workshops took place: – in December 2006 on the topic of collections (private, public) with Martino Gamper and Benjamin Reichen > images 1-4 – in March 2007 with Alexandra Gübeli and Claudia Wildermuth on the topic of setting texts in space > images 5-9 - in November 2007 with Philippe Délis (curator), Sean Murphy and Brian Studak on the topic of visual communication in exhibition space > images 9-12 • The state of the art : by gathering and diffusing original knowledge, theoretical and practical, on the contributions of design in contemporary museum practice.

Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec: étapes,03.10–22.11.2008,Gallery l elac, ECAL L espace lausannois d art contemporain (l elac) présente « étapes», une exposition de Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec. A cette occasion, les designers français ont décidé de montrer une partie des processus techniques de confection du mobilier ainsi que leurs sources d inspiration, dessins figuratifs ou non, qu ils réalisent en connexion avec leurs projets. Les deux frères ont fait une exposition «rugueuse et atmosphérique», des tableaux en trois dimensions à la fois pédagogiques et poétiques. Ronan (1971), également professeur à l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne, et Erwan (1976) Bouroullec signent leurs projets à deux depuis 1999. Leur collaboration est un dialogue permanent, nourri de leurs singularités, et mû par une exigence commune. A l occasion de la présentation de la cuisine désintégrée au Salon du Meuble de Paris en 1997, ils sont remarqués par Giulio Cappellini qui leur confiera leurs premiers projets de design industriel. En 2000, Issey Miyake fait appel à eux pour dessiner un espace destiné à sa nouvelle collection de vêtements A-Poc à Paris. Plus tard, la rencontre décisive avec Rolf Fehlbaum, Président de Vitra, mène à la production d un nouveau système de bureaux appelé Joyn en 2002. C est le début d une collaboration étroite, concrétisée par le lancement d une série de projets comme les Algues, l Alcove Sofa, la Worknest et la Slow Chair. Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec travaillent aujourd hui régulièrement pour de nombreuses maisons d édition de design industriel comme Vitra, Kvadrat, Magis, Kartell, Ligne Roset, Issey Miyake et Cappellini. Parallèlement, ils effectuent un travail de recherche au sein de la Galerie Kreo dont émaneront plusieurs expositions personnelles entre 2001 et 2008. Enfin, ils réalisent ponctuellement des projets d architecture comme la Maison Flottante en 2006, résidence d artiste du CNEAI (Centre National des Estampes et de l Art Imprimé) à Chatou. Élus créateurs de l année au Salon du Meuble de Paris en 2002, ils ont reçu, entre autres, le New Designer Award de l International Contemporary Furniture Fair de New York en 1999, le Grand Prix du Design de la Ville de Paris en 1998 et le Premier prix de la Biennale du Design de Saint-Etienne en 1998. Designers de l année pour Elle Décoration Japon en 2006, leur chaise de Bureau Worknest a reçu la distinction Best of the Best du Red Dot Award en 2008. Plusieurs expositions personnelles leur ont été consacrées, dont celle du Design Museum de Londres en 2002, du Museum of Contemporary Art de Los Angeles et du Boijmans Museum of Art de Rotterdam. Certaines de leurs créations appartiennent aux collections permanentes d institutions comme le Musée National d Art Moderne – Centre Georges Pompidou à Paris, le Museum of Modern Art de New York, le Design Museum de Londres, le Musée du Design de Lisbonne ou encore le Boijmans Museum of Art de Rotterdam. L exposition est co-produite avec la villa Noailles à Hyères (France) et le Grand-Hornu Images (Belgique).
Valentin Carron: héroïque horizon,30.04–27.06.2008,Gallery l elac, ECAL "Le Valais a peut-être trouvé sa quatorzième étoile. Une future star de l art contemporain en la personne de Valentin Carron, un artiste originaire de Martigny vivant à Fully, qui au fil des ans s affirme comme un plasticien incontournable dans le paysage artistique helvétique, voire international. Pour preuve, l exposition qu il vient de présenter au Centre culturel suisse à Paris. Un joli parcours pour cet ancien étudiant de l ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne! Son art, qui convoque une imagerie alpine typiquement made in Wallis faite de succédanés de vin, de Schwiizer Hüsli, de vieux bois, de croix chrétiennes ou de murs en pierres sèches, s exporte désormais de Londres à New York, en passant par Berlin ou Vienne. Ainsi, fin 2007, le citoyen de la capitale de l Arvine a réalisé une belle opération en exposant en solitaire à la prestigieuse Kunsthalle zurichoise. Ce coup de maître (déjà!) a été assorti d un très beau catalogue édité chez jrp/ringier. L une de ses œuvres fut également proposée au célèbre Palais de Tokyo dans la Ville Lumière et il est représenté par de grandes galeries telles qu Eva Presenhuber au bord de la Limmat et Praz-Delavallade à Paris. Tout réussi à cet enfant du Haut-Pays. Ce Pays, le Valais, qu il compare pertinemment, dans un catalogue publié par Pro Helvetia, à une grande banlieue: «C est une zone qu on pourrait qualifier de périphérie urbaine. Il n y a pas d universités, pas de grosses industries, à l exception du tourisme. C est une longue vallée, avec comme unique centre une autoroute depuis laquelle tu t éjectes dans différents villages, petites villes et stations de sports d hiver. Chacune de ces agglomérations fait office de quartier…». Une périphérie urbaine qui est la sienne! Mélange de paradoxes qui font sa richesse, cet iconoclaste octodurien est capable d associer le rap du groupe NTM à l artisanat local ou de s inspirer de l altermondialisme tout en vivant comme dans une grande ville américaine: «C est vrai que sans voiture, tu ne survis pas ici. Une fois, j ai commencé la soirée avec des amis dans un bar de mon village, à Fully, avant d aller faire la fête à Sion, la plus grande ville de la région. Puis, on est monté prendre le petit-déjeuner à Chamonix, une station de ski française, avant de descendre à Aoste, en Italie pour y passer l après-midi. On est rentré en Suisse par le col du Grand Saint-Bernard pour aller finir au buffet de la gare de Martigny.» En résumé, Valentin est un bon vivant valaisan qui vit avec son temps. Un Valaisan qui grâce à son talent sillonne le monde par monts et par vaux, mais qui termine toujours au sud-ouest de notre beau pays… Texte de Pierre Keller, Directeur ECAL de 1995 à 2011 et Professeur EPFL.

Renens, espace urbain Dans le cadre du projet de semestre « Renens : espace urbain », les étudiant-e-s de la filière Master cinéma de la HES-SO ont été appelé-e-s à la réalité culturelle et sociale de la ville de Renens, dans laquelle se situe le bâtiment de l ECAL. Les films interrogent les champs de tension entre le local et le global, le familier et l étranger, le politique et le privé. Ils s intéressent aux hommes et aux femmes qui vivent dans ces lieux, à leur quotidien et à leurs habitudes, s attachent aux drames et aux joies, petits et grands. A la manière d une mosaïque, ces films restituent une image plurielle, complexe et vivante de Renens.

Born in Montpellier in 1997, Hugo Hectus is a French visual artist living and working in Paris, whose practice aims to deconstruct modes of communication in an attempt to outline their autonomous, subjective essence and a new sensitive language. His artistic production operates in a dual relationship: the obscure one maintained by art and literature, which he articulates under the idea of “solid poetry”, seeking through his sculptures the appearance of an ideal language, a language of desire, populated by other cultural ghosts from the English, German, Italian and Latin languages. A language “in space”, frozen in matter as if it pre-existed everything, enabling him to write without describing or showing, and constructed in a lexicon specific to each “Mottogories” – symbolic phrases of sorts that become matter and are integrated into the sculptures themselves.
After studying at the Sorbonne Paris IV University, Hectus graduated with a Bachelor Graphic Design from ECAL in 2021, and a BA in Visual Arts from École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (ENSBA). He is currently pursuing a Master in Visual Arts at ENSBA. Hectus’s work has recently featured in group exhibitions at Tunnel Tunnel in Lausanne (2023), Krone Couronne in Biel (2022), One gee in fog in Geneva (2022), and in solo exhibitions at ENSBA in Paris (2022) and ECAL in Lausanne (2021).
