Conversation between Jean-Charles de Quillacq et Marie Canet

This Saturday 6 July, the artist Jean-Charles de Quillacq and the historian of art Marie Canet will meet at Bétonsalon among the works in Ma système reproductive, which they will take as the departure point for their conversation.

The back and forth generated by the works in the exhibition finds an echo and a continuation in the exchange between the artist and the critic. Together they will speak of the body, of desires and fluids, of contamination and circuits, and of the inspiration which informs and stems from the works.

The conversation will be preceded by a guided visit for those who haven’t seen the exhibition and it will end with drinks offered by Bétonsalon.

This conversation, intimate and public, is open and free to all.

Jean-Charles de Quillacq studied art at the School of Fine Arts in Lyon and at the Weißensee Academy of Art in Berlin. He creates sets of sculptures, at times conceptual and at others fetishistic, which he usually exhibits by inviting others to take control of their presentation with him. In this way, he engages volunteers as collaborators in his work, embracing a certain loss of control over the potential deviations that this opening might generate. Until July 13 2019, he presents Ma système reproductive, his first solo show at Bétonsalon.

++++

Bétonsalon - Centre d’art et de recherche is pleased to host the first chapter of the 2018-2019 cycle of event of the association Orange Rouge.

During a vibrantly and piecemeal day, we invite you to the restitution and celebration of the workshops led in 2018-2019 by twenty artists and some teenagers from Seine Saint-Denis, Paris and Seine-et-Marne schools.
The day will be punctuated by a pastoral lunch, the launch of Orange Rouge last publication, talks, performances and podcasts, that will help develop questions about educational and artistic issues of Orange Rouge’s project.

Under the shape of discussions with invited teachers and artists, we will try to find answers to the following questions: what are the current educational issues and the artistic ones of a project such as that of Orange Rouge ? How to let collective and artistic shapes and output emerge ? How not to reduce the artist into a social entertainer ? What are the existing links between the artists insecurity and the national education precariousness ? Which pedagogical alternatives could we imagine et build for the teachers of the ULIS (Unit located for inclusive education) classes ?

Seminar: Arts in Africa and in its diasporas: practices, knowledges, mobilities

This seminar seeks to offer reflections on the driving forces of forms, practices and artistic knowledge of the conception and the circulation of structures, movements, ideologies and political imaginaries on the african continent and in its diaspora. In this framework, our researches will focus on the visual and performative arts, in a broad sense (danse, theatre, fine arts, photograpy, cinema, music, litterature, digital arts...) and will follow an historian, critical and transdisciplinary approach.

Anthropology, visual culture and materiel history, curatorial studies history, art history, colonial, postcolonial, decolonial and diasporic studies, as well as political sciences... will meet and question each other . Each session will be build around a presentation by invited speakers researchers or/and designers/practitioners, wether they are artists, cultural actors or activists. Capturing diversity and a large range of viewpoints, presented works and approaches will have in common to take account that works (on) intersections between art(s) and politic(s ) imply to start from a bedrock where reflexting and theorising are required.

2018-2019: Future Arts Practices in the African World and its Diasporas
Future, or better, futures. Futures of cities, of ecologies, of constructions of genders; futures of technics and sciences; of the violence - political, economical, social ; of hope; the mere notions of future... Thinking, speaking, give substance to these futures and to others, connected, from Africa and its diasporas: these are crucial tasks that - through their practices and reflexions - artists, cinematographers, performers writers, philosophers, reserchers, curators, and cultural activists who will present their work during the seminar will try to target. Committed, rebellious, even radical, the proposals that they develop undermine preconceived ideas and doxas.

ORGANISERS OF THE SEMINAR:
Anne Doquet, Christine Douxami, Sarah Fila-Bakabadio, Eric Jolly,
Dominique Malaquais.

SPEAKERS :
Eva Barois de Caevel, Katja Gentric, Annael Le Poullennec
