Description:
Series 4, Une architecture des humeurs, 2008-2011, documents the conception and the presentation of exhibition and project Une architecture des humeurs. Presented at Le laboratoire art gallery in Paris between January and May 2010, Une architecture des humeurs is a conceptual, unbuilt, residential urban structure based on a potential future in which contemporary science reads human physiology and chemical balance. The idea is to acquire a chemistry of the “humors”, or the moods and temperament, of future purchasers. Taken as input, the information generates a diversity of habitable morphologies and relationships between them. With this process, the project attempts to make palpable and graspable, through technologies, the emotions of the participants captured via the chemistry of their body. The goal is to gather information on their capacity of adaptation, their level of sympathy and empathy while confronted to a situation or an environment. This information is then analyzed by computational, mathematical, and machinist procedures. This leads to the design and production of an urban structure submitted to the improbable and uncertain protocols produced by emotions, also creating aggregations and layouts that rearticulate the links between the individual and the collective. These structures are calculated following simultaneously incremental and recursive structural optimization protocols resulting in the physicality and morphology of architecture. The layout of the residential units and the structural trajectories are conceived and developed as posterior to the constructs supporting social life and not as an a priori. The structure of each components of the urban structure is generated by a secretion and weaving machine called Viab02. The machine is the second prototype of VIAB which was developed with Robotics Research Lab of the University of Southern California and takes its name from the terms viability and variability. With a process similar to contour crafting, the machine produces bio-cement, a mix between cement and bio-resin, giving form to the adapted residential structures. The records consist largely of images detailing the creative process of the firm, photographs of the exhibition, and 3D models. It also contains animated renderings representing the machine in action and sequences of the construction of the building or the structure. The records include a video orienting the project into François Roche theoretical stance, research as speculation, that can be summarize as the use of technological tools to take a critical and political position through esthetic in order to open new lines of thoughts.

Description:
Le collage intitulé " Galerie de la grande architecture canadienne " a été produit dans le contexte de l'exposition " Canada-Trajectoires 1973 " présentée au Musée national d'art moderne de la ville de Paris au cours de l'été 1973. Le collage, appliqué sur papier cartonné, représente une sélection de textes et d'images d'œuvres exposées par Melvin Charney lors de cette exposition. L'objectif de l'exposition "Canada-Trajectoires 1973 " était de réunir des artistes ou des regroupements d'artistes engagés dans des discours critiques et de présenter leur travail non pas tant comme des oeuvres d'art mais plutôt " comme symptômes d'un certain climat ." (1) Selon le catalogue de l'exposition, et les divers comptes rendus qui en ont été fait dans la presse spécialisée, celle-ci était divisée en cinq sections. Quatre de ces sections étaient consacrées à des médiums spécifiques : art céramique, vidéo, peinture et sculpture, cinéma. Une cinquième section présentait des œuvres produites par des collectif d'artistes quelques soit le médium employé: galerie coopérative, coop d'artistes, workshop, banques d'images. C'est dans cette dernière section que Melvin Charney présenta trois projets créé avec l'assistance d'un groupe d'"action photographique", soit un "pavillon d'exposition" réalisé en 1969, une "monument à l'aviation" (1969) et "une galerie de la grande architecture" (1973). Dans un texte de Melvin Charney publié dans le catalogue de l'exposition, ces trois projets furent présentés sous l'intitulé "Quelques monuments nationaux". Le collage incorpore en une première strate collée obliquement par rapport au sens du carton d'œuvre, une image (en partie rognée), un texte manifeste (en partie coupée) et un intitulé. Ces trois éléments de toutes évidences se rapportent à L'ensemble des trois projets présenté par Charney. Sur une seconde strate, collée dans le sens du carton d'œuvres, Charney a collé des textes et des images se rapportant à deux des projets soit "une galerie de la grande architecture" (image et texte 25, 26 31 et 34, et monument à l'aviation, image et texte 50. Le collage est signé et daté en bas à droite. Des indications d'intercalation d'illustration au crayon graphite, - avec la mention "cut line" - détermine à même le carton d'œuvre, une zone regroupant l'ensemble des textes et des images collés. Au dos du collage figure à nouveau la signature de Charney et une numéro d'inventaire renvoyant possiblement à un catalogue constitué par Charney de son œuvre : "MC 1973 ? 02". Ce collage a servi de maquette pour la production d'une affiche publicisant l'exposition, ce qui explique la présence d'indications d'intercalation d'illustrations - une donnée signalant en règle générale que l'œuvre a été produite pour être publiée. (2) Ceci dit on ne sait pas si celle-ci fut effectivement tirée (nous n'en connaissons aucun exemplaire) avant, pendant ou après l'exposition. Cet aspect de l'historique de cette œuvre reste encore au moment où nous écrivons, à éclaircir. On peut établir toutefois avec certitude que cette œuvre, ou l'affiche qui en fut éventuellement tirée, a servi à produire la mise en page d'un article de Melvin Charney publié en avril 1974 dans la revue britannique Architectural Design. Un transparent a sans doute été pris du collage puis envoyé avec l'article de Charney à l'éditeur. Ce dernier a, à son tour, cadré l'image en fonction des indications d'intercalation d'illustrations latérales et supérieure,- on observe que le 3 de 1973 est bel et bien coupé - puis a éliminé les trois quart inférieur pour y placer le texte de l'article. La présence dans l'article publié du nom du musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris - section arc, et son absence dans le collage est du à une perte. Un examen attentif révèle des marques sans doute de colle pour la bandelette de papier. Dans cet article publié en anglais Charney. 1- Suzanne Page, Canada trajectoires 73 : Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris, [Montréal?] : Publié par les Éditions Médiart pour le compte du Conseil des arts du Canada, [1973], [introduction] 2- Information fournie par l,artiste; voir aussi la légende de l'œuvre lors de sa reproduction dans un catalogue en 2000 où elle est décrite comme étant une maquette pour une affiche en offset sur papier.

Le collage intitulé " Galerie de la grande architecture canadienne " a été produit dans le contexte de l'exposition " Canada-Trajectoires 1973 " présentée au Musée national d'art moderne de la ville de Paris au cours de l'été 1973.

L'objectif de l'exposition "Canada-Trajectoires 1973 " était de réunir des artistes ou des regroupements d'artistes engagés dans des discours critiques et de présenter leur travail non pas tant comme des oeuvres d'art mais plutôt " comme symptômes d'un certain climat ."
