Programme
Lost time, found feet, Cynthia Lefebvre
In 3 bis f, Cynthia Lefebvre makes the body an apparatus of relation where fragility rhymes with flexibility. It is a space of circulations, crossed by flows, links, articulations. By locating it somewhere between bone and water, this one is thought as a fragile scaffolding, zone of passage(s) and memory. A body that has absorbed, that has compiled. With voids, fulls, overflows. A body which makes with the reception, the abandonments, the losses, the absence. A body that deals with all the bodies it contains. Which loses its footing, to better find them.
Des luttes invisibles, Cathryn Boch
La mer Méditerranée est devenue une frontière épaisse. Les femmes, absentes du grand récit des migrations, des Odyssées contemporaines, se déplacent pourtant depuis toujours. Cathryn Boch fabrique des contre-géographies personnelles, charnelles, militantes avec sa machine à coudre et dit l’urgence de s’en retourner au geste pour parler d'exclusion, d'oppression, de violence, de survie. Mais surtout elle réveille des résistances, des luttes, agite les espoirs.
Désordres, Yoan Sorin
Yoan Sorin est un artiste dont le travail reflète les défis et les possibilités de l'expérience humaine. Pour cette exposition, il a pensé la rencontre comme à la fois une finalité et un moteur essentiel de sa pratique. Plutôt que des fins en soi, les formes plastiques deviennent partie intégrante de ces expériences de rencontre. Il s’agit alors de penser des œuvres qui ménagent la plus grande place possible à la singularité des personnes.
