Lee Ufan Arles invite Philippe Dagen, historien de l’art, critique et commissaire d’exposition à imaginer pour l’été 2023 la première exposition temporaire de l’Espace MA.Philippe Dagen, proche du travail de Lee Ufan depuis de nombreuses années, a réuni cinq artistes plasticiens travaillant en France - Brigitte Aubignac, Ymane Chabi-Gara, Marc Desgrandchamps Tim Eitel et Djamel Tatah - qui interrogent et représentent la figure humaine. Celle-ci se présente seule, non pour des raisons formelles, mais parce que cette solitude renvoie à des situations aux significations sociales et psychiques qui caractérisent particulièrement notre époque: l’enfermement en soi, l’absence de l’autre, la mélancolie, l'exclusion ou le deuil.L'exposition « Figures seules » sera présentée à l’Espace MA de Lee Ufan Arles du 1er Juillet au 24 septembre 2023.

Summary:
Accompanying the major exhibition at MoMA PS1, The Gatherers brings together original texts on issues relating to waste, accumulation and excess. In a time when social and political lives are shaped by the glut of garbage and information, the exhibition draws methodological parallels between 14 artists across four continents. This compendium features full-color illustrations of their artworks, which span sculptural installation, assemblage, painting, video and performance. In a longform essay, Ruba Katrib contextualizes their practices within the promises and failures of neoliberalism, the shifting constructions of East and West and the explosion of new technologies. Additionally, the catalog situates their practices within larger art historical trends, from Greek asàrotos òikos and Dutch still lifes, to 20th-century Surrealism and postwar assemblage. With newly commissioned texts on each of the participating artists by leading curators, theorists and writers from across the globe, the catalog offers incisive critical writing on issues in contemporary art and the 21st century.

Summary:
Au travers de dialogues inédits, ce catalogue propose de réévaluer comment certaines œuvres pionnières issues de mouvements artistiques majeurs au Japon tels que Mono-ha (L'école des choses) ou Fluxus portaient déjà un regard attentif à nos milieux de vie dans une dimension sociale et écologique, intime et collective. Si les pratiques de Noboru Takayama ou Kishio Suga (Mono-ha) font par exemple appel à la mémoire et l'histoire inhérente de nos environnements par le truchement et la confrontation de matériaux bruts, qu'ils soient d'origine naturelle ou industrielle, celles d'Hideki Umezawa et Koichi Sato ou d'Hiroshi Yoshimura investissent le médium sonore pour composer des paysages musicaux et visuels en réponse à certaines architectures et créer ainsi des lueurs de calme dans des lieux inattendus. Des approches non sans écho à celles privilégiées par certaines artistes Fluxus réunies ici (Yoko Ono, Mieko Shiomi et Takako Saito) et leur recours au langage.

Summary:
The exhibition Prosodic Grains at ''BY ART MATTERS'' (??????) draws inspiration from Chinese literature's pursuit of natural law and balanced beauty in phonology. It features works from over a dozen artists across different countries and regions, exploring the origins, elasticity, and limitations of human communication. For individuals, language and music carry fleeting emotions and thoughts; for human communities, they embody living histories and shared memories that reside in our collective consciousness. Embracing this holistic vision, the exhibition weaves individual breaths into the tapestry of global currents, embarking on a journey that awakens synesthetic sensations and delves into the realms of listening, perception, and resonance. In this information age, where attention fragments amidst discord and conflict, perhaps by experiencing and conveying the ineffable rhythmic beauty that transcends time and space, we can guide people back to their primal yearning for connection and mutual understanding. The publication ''Prosodic Notes'' emerges from the exhibition but isn't strictly bound by its concepts—it can be viewed as an alternative aspect of the exhibition. As we shaped this publication, we maintained an open dialogue with artists around the question: "How can works that pulse with sound and language find new life within the bounds of pages?" Some content consists of the original creations by artists. Another thread weaves in the artists' journeys toward their final works, including sketches, notes, archives, and interviews. These elements serve as passageways connecting living memories and experiences of the exhibition.

Summary:
Comment les images produites dans les années 1980 ont-elles transformé notre histoire culturelle?? En quoi ont-elles contribué à façonner la pensée du XXIe siècle?? Pour souligner son 40e anniversaire, VOX a présenté une manifestation artistique qui, en phase avec sa mission de soutenir la recherche et la diffusion des pratiques de l’image, revisitait une période ayant marqué son histoire et celle du Québec. L’exposition a réuni près d’une quarantaine d’œuvres photographiques et vidéographiques et de référents visuels emblématiques de cette époque. La présente publication comporte quant à elle les essais, les entretiens et les interventions artistiques d’une quinzaine de chercheur·euses et artistes qui examinent l’impact des années 1980 sur le monde actuel. Leurs contributions issues de champs variés – politique, littérature, études sur la nuit, la mode, l’environnement, les transformations technologiques, l’écosystème de l’art, la condition des artistes, l’histoire des expositions – offre une lecture transversale et stimulante de cette période complexe. Une décennie dont les résonances critiques et créatives continuent de modeler notre présent.

Summary:
The book ''Archive of Dreams'' is published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name that will open the ''Archiv der Avantgarden''. Marking the hundredth anniversary of the first surrealist manifesto and the founding of the Bureau of Surrealist Research in Paris in 1924, the volume is dedicated to the surrealist movement as well as the networks it engendered and the artistic stimuli it provided in the twentieth century. The idea was for the Bureau to collect dream testimonies in whatever form, not only to preserve and analyse them but also to give active expression to them in artistic processes. The publication shows how the practices of the avantgardes blurred the boundaries between dream and reality, between the traditional, passive notion of the archive and the idea of active, innovative artistic experiment — and thus ultimately also between the past, the present, and possible futures. Works and documents from the period before, during, and after the Second World War shed light on the working methods of international artists and the global network they were involved in. They are complemented by diverse reflections on global protest movements and the traumas of war, thus connecting, too, to everyday experiences in a Europe beset by warfare.

Summary:
''Staging Ground: infrastructures, performance, and bodies'' in movement assembles on-site investigations, critical reflections, and performance scores offering new ways to think, make, and inhabit mobility infrastructures. Grounded in the metropole of Grand Paris, they aim to offer strategies to be staged anywhere that infrastructural transformations are shifting urban grounds. The book stems from a residency programme hosted by Theatrum Mundi in Grand Paris as part of the LINA European Architecture Programme. From 2023 to 2025, it invited six LINA fellows – emerging spatial practitioners and artists – to move and think in the changing landscapes of north-eastern Paris and Plaine Commune. Accompanying their work, four commissioned essays and a photo series frame the urgency of new tools able to bridge infrastructural and bodily scales, and reflect on the learnings offered by the residency projects. A design concept by Athens-based practice Typical Organization draws on and subverts the visual language of the French road sign system.

Summary:
Qillaniq nous offre un art polyphonique et multidisciplinaire, riche d’improvisations. Un art inspiré des valeurs autochtones qui privilégient l’apport au bien commun sous toutes les formes. Un art qui exprime une joie profonde, le message d’artistes qui voient tous les possibles dans nos communautés, qui fait place aux gens qui font évoluer notre monde en faisant fi des normes dictées par la colonisation. C’est, surtout, un art qui célèbre ceux et celles qui brandissent l’amour devant les écueils.// The art in Qillaniq is multi-vocal, multi-disciplinary, and improvisational; it’s inspired by Indigenous values of contributing to community in as many ways as possible. It’s also an expression of radical joy, an exploration of what the artists tell us is possible in our communities, of holding space for the people who change our world – despite not always fitting into the norms of colonizing institutions. Most of all, it celebrates those who share love as an answer to difficulty. Qillaniq – that shimmering, bright light – honours the circumpolar world’s badass artists who tell us all that our existence is enough.
