[PROJECTS] TAPIS ROUGE 4 'PHOTOCALL NUIT DES MUSEES MAC/VAL', 19 MAY @ MAC/VAL

--

« Tapis rouge 4 (Photo Call " Nuit des musées" MAC/VAL 2012) »

Saturday 19 May 2012, 3pm-11pm

as Part of "Nuit Europénne des Musées 2012"

Samedi 19 mai de 15h à 23h venez vous faire photographier et repartez avec votre portrait Polaroid™ signé dans le cadre de « Tapis rouge 4 (Photo Call « Nuit des musées » MAC/VAL 2012) » ! 

Matthieu Laurette présente« Tapis rouge 4 (Photo Call « Nuit des musées » MAC/VAL 2012) », la quatrième édition de Tapis rouge, œuvre initiée en 2006 au Palais de Tokyo et commanditée alors par TF1.

En organisant une séance de Photocall au MAC/VAL, l’artiste poursuit sa réflexion sur les zones de friction entre pouvoir social, système médiatique et valeur marchande. Les logos composant la mosaïque devant laquelle le public prend place proviennent tous des institutions publiques soutenant le musée. Une toute nouvelle lecture des règles de l’industrie du divertissement est proposée. Le public photographié devant les logos, devient acteur de sa propre notoriété et propriétaire d’une œuvre originale et unique, signée et datée par l’artiste. Cette version inédite du projet questionne le rapport de l’œuvre à sa valeur commerciale et marchande, alors même qu’elle est produite par le MAC/VAL, service du Conseil général du Val-de-Marne.

[BIBLIOGRAPHY] "DEMANDS & SUPPLIES" REVIEWED BY JUDITH BENHAMOU IN LES ECHOS

photo: Judith Benhamou

"Mathieu Laurette expose chez Gaudel de Stampa. L’artiste français qui s’est fait connaître par ses interventions intempestives et créatives dans des émissions débiles comme « Tournez manège » m’a dit que lors de son intervention à cette occasion sa partenaire potentielle a qui il demandait « quel est ton peintre préféré ? » lui a répondu « Magritte ». En direct à l’heure du déjeuner devant la France entière la petite jeune fille aimait Magritte. Il ne s’en n’est pas suivi une grande histoire d’amour car il a perdu. Dommage. Laurette fait partie des noms connus de la scène française et il s’est un temps exilé en Hollande et aux Etats-Unis. Son travail joue entre le Pop et le conceptuel. Entre les deux son coeur balance. Résultat : une œuvre qui reproduit en sérigraphie ( on notera l’allusion) et en grand format le certificat de décès de Warhol à vendre pour 5 000 euros. « Mon plus grand succès commercial" dit-il. L’acheter c’est un peu posséder un Warhol ». Premier sujet de réflexion à l’heure où on apprend le décès de Mike Kelley et de Dorothea Tanning.

La galerie expose une série de certificats qui ressemblent à une « liste de mariage pour artiste ».

Si vous achetez pour lui une assiette ou un meuble design vous recevrez en échange un certificat qui en atteste et c’est tout. De la serpillière à 2,4 euros au meuble à 2500 euros vous obtiendrez le même certif. C’est fait pour réfléchir… L’expo s’appelle « Galleries are full of objects, more or less interesting ; I do not wish to add any more ».
Rien n’est moins sûr si ce n’est le certificat de vente ou de décès. Finalement…"

[BIBLIOGRAPHY] "DEMANDS & SUPPLIES" REVIEWED IN LE JOURNAL DES ARTS

--

Lea Bismuth in LE JOURNAL DES ARTS:

« Galleries are full of objects, more or less interesting, I do not wish to add any more ». Tels sont les mots désabusés de Matthieu Laurette pour présenter son exposition, nécessairement déceptive, détournant les codes de la société de consommation, s’amusant à faire de l’anti-art. Intitulée « Demands & Supplies », il faut s’attendre à une réflexion déroutante sur la loi capitaliste de l’offre et de la demande…

[CONFERENCE] I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING BUT I WANT TO BE THERE, PARADISO, AMSTERDAM

I don't Know Where I'm Going But I Want To Be There
The Image in the Age of Visual Obesity

Symposium
17 december 2011
Paradiso Amsterdam

The symposium signals emergent forms of the visual culture that surrounds us and inhabits us. It questions the nature of the so-called culture of attention, and looks at the way it influences and shapes the way we work, live and think today. How does our visual culture work, and what are its hidden dynamics? Which new tools and territories are emerging out it? How do images mediate between us and the world? How do we deal with the ubiquitous presence of images and image versions? What kind of imagery is evolving from actual geopolitical shifts? Which possibilities does the age of configurability have to offer to the image? And how can visual literacy contribute to our understanding of the culture that we live in? To address these questions, the symposium brings together an expert crowd from the fields of design, art, journalism, neurobiology, fashion, literature and film. The symposium will address different functions of the image today: the image as a social agent, as a biological process, as the playground of our imagination, as a cultural criticism, and as a revolutionary power.

Be there! I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING BUT I WANT TO BE THERE is the third edition of yearly symposia initiated by MOTI. The events signal and orchestrate emergent manifestations of our visual culture, and act as a popular end of year gathering for professionals, students and industry. In 2009, Me You And Everyone Is A Curator explored new criteria for quality in online cultural production with keynote speakers Bruce Sterling, Andrew Keen, and Rick Poynor. Last year, Stefan Sagmeister, Alice Rawsthorn, DJ Spooky, and many more joined forces to map emergent territories of design practice.

[PROJECTS] "THE EVENING BEFORE THE MORNING AFTER" AN EVENING BY MARIO GARCIA TORRES @ BISTROTHEQUE IN LONDON

--

Dear Friends,
The Centre for the Aesthetic Revolution and Bistrotheque are happy to invite you to
THE EVENING BEFORE THE MORNING AFTER an evening by Mario Garcia Torres
Friday 14, October 2011, 8PM-midnight
Bistrotheque Bar, 23-27 Wadeson Street, London E2 http://www.bistrotheque.com/
Music selection for the night by Mr. Craig Garrett

For THE EVENING BEFORE THE MORNING AFTER, Garcia Torres asked artists and curators to send or select a recipe to be included in the bar's cocktail list for the night: "I propose to present a list of artists cocktails in the bar, and I would love - be honoured-, if you accept this invitation. I am asking you to send me the recipe or name or whatever of a cocktail that you like, or that you have mixed or customised yourself to be included in this menu, and which would either have your name or a title that you wish to put to it. How does this sound? It would be amazing if you accept to participate. Find below an intro text that I wrote for it, and that will be printed in the cocktail menu. Looking very much forward to hear from you. All my best, Mario"

Some of the cocktails to be served on the night might include:

The CWE by Cerith Wyn Evans
Equal parts of Evian and Bdoit, slice of cucumber

THE EVENING BEFORE THE MORNING AFTER
a small show, or gathering, or event-exhibition, or bar night, or cocktail menu by Mario Garcia Torres

Alcohol (as well as drugs) consumption have been historically, and most probable mistakenly, connected to the creative act. Yet there has been a number of visual artists that have resorted to the old idea of drinking and getting drunk to create their work, both as a medium and as its “content”. The English duo Gilbert & George in Balls: The Evening Before the Morning After - Drinking Sculpture (1972) took blurred pictures of themselves while getting drunk, it is from this work that this night and cocktail menu take its title from. In another of their iconic works Gordon’s Gin Makes Us Drunk (1972), the couple is seen on a video piece indulging in the mentioned spirit. Similarly, the entire Andy Warhol film Drink (1965) is a long take of the filmmaker Emile de Antonio downing a bottle of whiskey. The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends -I wouldn't limit it to only such beverage- is the Highest Form of Ar (1970), declared Tom Morioni as he inaugurated what now is called a social situation type of artwork.

By chance, and several years before, the experience of art through a cocktail was extended after the fact, some would say into the morning after. Those who attended the opening of the French artist Yves Klein at the Galerie Iris Clert in Paris on April 29, 1959 could acknowledge it. For this exhibition the space had been painted with white enamel and stripped of all objects and furniture except for a white, empty cabinet. The almost bare gallery could not be seen from outside as the windows had been painted blue and the door was covered with a heavy curtain of the same colour, with two Republican Guards keeping watch over it. Nevertheless the artist had arranged for a specific cocktail made with Gin, Cointreau and Curacao to be served. To the French artist delight -who had been painting deep blue monochrome paintings made out of a self invented recipe for such pigment- all who enjoyed the drink eventually found their pee stained blue.

Thinking about this and proposing, again, to use the idea of the cocktail as a medium, or more so to use the mixology that such a drink require to provoke a specific aesthetic experience, or... maybe just as a decoy to have a good conversation, I have invited a number of artists friends to present their own cocktail, either one that they like, have customised or that have put together themselves. As an honorary place, the menu will close with the historic blue cocktail.

MGT


THE EVENING BEFORE THE MORNING AFTER is a monthly event that takes place at Celeste House in Mexico City. http://celeste.com.mx/

_LIVING AS FORM
An unprecedented international exhibition exploring over 20 years of cultural works that blur the forms of art and everyday life, and emphasize participation, dialogue, and community engagement. The exhibition—curated by Nato Thompson—will take place September 23–October 16, and will provide a broad look at a vast array of socially engaged practices that appear with increasing regularity in fields ranging from theater to activism, and urban planning to visual art. Living as Form will bring together 25 curators, document over 100 artists' projects in a large-scale survey exhibition at the historic Essex Street Market building, and create six new commissions in the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, a dynamic online archive of over 400 socially engaged projects is being developed, along with a book to further an understanding of the breadth and complexity of this field. Curatorial advisors include Caron Atlas, Negar Azimi, Ron Bechet, Claire Bishop, Brett Bloom, Rashida Bumbray, Carolina Caycedo, Ana Paula Cohen, Common Room, Teddy Cruz, Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy, Gridthiya Gaweewong, Hou Hanru, Stephen Hobbs and Marcus Neustetter, Shannon Jackson, Maria Lind, Chus Martínez, Sina Najafi, Marion von Osten, Ted Purves, Raqs Media Collective, Gregory Sholette, Superflex, Christine Tohme, Bik Van der Pol, and Sue Bell Yank
