LE MAGASIN (UN OPERA) |
||
ACT 1 : PRE-LOVED BROWN AND DARk BLUE JUMPERS Made possible by a grant from Mécènes du Sud Montpellier Sète in Brussels, Sète and Marseille, 2021 |
||
They dress up a discourse where tradition and its social signifiers are reproduced, re-intepretated, perfomed. If the jumpers are not particularly interesting visual objects they operate as pre-texts to the gestures and actions embodied by the artist/sales assistant and the audience. Doing ones shoping online, in a shop, bu turing the pages of a catalogue is compared here to contemporary art practices (productions, theoretical practices, critical statements, calls for projects and pdfs of proposals for juries to choose from...)but also to many other contemporary cultural and social practices, such as online meetings politcal positions and/or outrages.
This project has also benefited from a recidency by the Confort Moderne (Poitiers). |
