Following this program, *Duuu will rebroadcast the series of “small gualichos”, little aural spells offered by the collaborators of Mercedes Azpilicueta's Bestiario de Lengüitas.

    Discussion around the exhibition

    In the company of Maïa Lacoustille, Valentin Gleyze and Margaux Bonopera

    For the last day of the exhibition at CAC Brétigny, the Champs magnétiques collective propose a round table with the artist Maïa Lacoustille, Valentin Gleyze from the Young Cinema collective, and Margaux Bonopera, curator. The discussion will take as its starting point reflections on the occult, contemporary spiritualities and alternative knowledge offered by the works in the exhibition, with which resonates the short film program designed by the Young Cinema collective. We will thus ask the question of the meeting, between artistic but also esoteric proposals.

    Followed at 6 pm by a friendly moment around an aperitif.

    “Komos”

    Working from texts by Aristophanes and Ovid, Louise Siffert proposes generating collective and individual fictions in order to examine the concepts of transition, transformation, and identity. Participants will eventually rewrite scenes from the Greek tragicomedy, trying their hand at a farce based on genders. Sets and costumes created during the workshops will enable them to explore the way an identity takes shape and becomes flesh through the body/object relationship, the gaze, and the connection with the Other and with space.

As a kind of advisor in transvestism and faux attributes, this company is meant to enable people to appropriate new qualities – ordinary and/or extraordinary ones – modify their appearance, invent new meanings and skills, and compose a new image and narrative of themselves.

I gradually decipher the text, 'I would like to speak ever so softly so that you would have to come up close to me, and I would speak in a tongue that would sound foreign to you, or maybe I would just speak in images and you would have nothing to decipher, because I would be there and that would be enough.' After a few minutes of silence and hesitation, as we sit in the vicinity of one another, we strike up a conversation."

    Presence revisited, Devora Neumark

    Performance

    “Over a period of eight weeks beginning in September of 1997, I sat on a three-legged wooden bench in various places around the city of Montreal crocheting non-stop. For five hours a day, I crocheted using two colours: fine yellow cotton thread marked the stitches I made in solitude, while purple traced my exchanges with the passersby who stopped to speak with me.” Twenty years later, Devora Neumark recreates “Présence” and adapts it to the specificities of the public spaces of Vitry-sur-Seine and Brétigny-sur-Orge.
    With the support of Au Ver à Soie.
