Les secrets du collège Didier Daurat, Martin Le Chevallier : Collège Didier Daurat du Bourget

THE SECRETS OF DIDIER DAURAT COLLEGE

As part of an artistic commission for the college Didier Daurat du Bourget, a dozen 3cm in diameter small holes are scattered on the walls of the college, inside and outide. Each hole contains a “secret”: an image, a sound, a video … So many invitations to dreaming conceived by the artist or by the students themselves.

The Logical Basis, Liam Gillick : Gare du Nord, Paris

THE LOGICAL BASIS

Specific creation for the Gare du Nord RER docks in November 2015. Liam Gillick proposes an in situ artwork for the redeveloped docks of the RER B and D of the subway station Gare du Nord. A series of equations modeling oceanic and terrestrial atmospheric fluxes will be placed on colored solid areas painted on concrete. The artist was inspired by the theory developed by Syukuro Manabe in the 60s, a theory at the root of science on climate change.

Des corps schématiques, Julien Prévieux : Centre Pompidou, Paris

DES CORPS SCHÉMATIQUES

The work of Julien Préviex, laureate of the Marcel Duchamp Prize 2014, develops by questioning the worlds of work, economics, politics or playing or playing with control devices, advanced technologies and management theories. In Espace 315 at the Centre Pompidou, with the support of the ADIAF, the artist proposes an exhibition associating film, sculptures and drawings, whose theme is the recording of the movement.

From September 23rd, 2015, to February 1st, 2016

Rêvolutions, Céleste Boursier-Mougenot : Biennale de Venise

RÊVOLUTIONS

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot revives our taste for the wonderful Italian Mannerist gardens while reaffirming its contemporaneity and the political dimension that underlies it by transforming the French Pavilion into an organic and sound island. Moving trees, whose metabolism determines the movement, slowly oscillate on themselves, drawing animist choreography inside and outside the Pavilion and invent their own sound from the low-voltage electrical currents they generate. Visitors can immerse themselves or float in the harmonic continuum of this ocean of sounds traversed by the inverted images of the world produced by camera obscura.

Dora Maar, Eric Baudelaire : 1% artistique, Collège Dora Maar

DORA MAAR

A series of four films (or a four-part film) made with a group of students from Dora Maar College during the four years of their schooling. A film like the portrait of a group in a time and a place: a college in the suburbs of Paris at a pivotal period of life, the subject of which would be its own fabrication, a collaboration between a filmmaker and young students.

Quiz, Robert Stadler : galerie Poirel, Nancy

QUIZ
SUR UNE IDÉE DE ROBERT STADLER

Presented on the 1000 m2 of the gallery Poirel, QUiZ exhibition results from a carte blanche entrusted by the City of Nancy to the designer Robert Stadler, the creator of « Traits d’Union ». This permanent work was produced in 2013 for Ensemble Poirel as part of a public commission supported by the Ministry of Culture and Communication.
In addition of Stadler’s creations, QUiZ’s visitor discovers a large selection of current international artists and designers whose work questions the status of objects. Sculpture ? Product ? Furniture ? WHAT intrigues. WHAT stimulates. QUiZ allows to freely appreciate the stakes related to these things with amazing forms.
