En 2008, le centre d'art contemporain La Ferme du Buisson accueillait le commissaire d'exposition Mathieu Copeland pour la présentation remarquée d'Une Exposition Chorégraphiée. Composée exclusivement de mouvements interprétés par trois danseurs pendant deux mois, l'exposition fit date dans l'histoire des relations entre danse et arts plastiques. 0Au-delà de l'expérience unique qu'elle a constituée pour ceux qui l'ont vécue, Une Exposition Chorégraphiée a nourri une multitude de questions qui ont fait leur chemin pour donner naissance à un ouvrage intitulé Chorégraphier l'exposition. 0Le livre réunit plus d'une trentaine d'artistes plasticiens, chorégraphes, musiciens, cinéastes, théoriciens et commissaires d'exposition internationaux. Formidable panorama des relations entre chorégraphie et exposition, il orchestre une polyphonie de points de vue à partir de cinq prismes : la partition, l'espace, le temps, le corps et la mémoire.

The party as a model for new forms of togetherness, with examples from communist Hungary and Spain From social get-together to scenes of delirium, this publication aims to unpack the party as a complex, vertiginous construct that provides a dynamic view onto questions of community. If the party functions as an intensification of togetherness, what lessons might it provide in negotiating a given social order? This first volume on the topic considers the house party, and in what ways domestic space is reworked in support of an extension of the family unit. Including a series of interviews with those active in flat events in Budapest during the communist regime and today, essays on hospitality, the politics of rest, and erotic knowledge, and documentation on Sala 603, an informal house-theater in Curitiba. The publication is the first in a new Errant Bodies series developed in parallel to a set of party-workshops initiated by the artist Brandon LaBelle held in different locations in Madrid, each of which performatively investigates states of partying, posing the party as a scene of study.
Dorian Gaudin focuses on the interplay of correspondences between the organic, psychical, and material worlds. Combining performance, sculpture and cinema, his oeuvre moves back and forth between automation and living systems. He mobilizes, dislocates, and mechanizes in an amalgamation of genres: absurdist theater, science fiction cinema, burlesque and Minimalism. In his exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo machines and social rituals, visual illusion and physical presence set in motion a mechanism which is also that of the emotions. Revealing the capacity of objects to generate narrative and elicit our emotional and intellectual involvement, his works remind us of the way fetishization of obje...

Our societies have now gone almost fully digital, which is bound to impact the ways in which the self apprehends itself, constructs itself and takes part in society. This collective essay draws upon philosophy, logics, literature and media studies to explore a variety of responses to what is currently at stake in the recomposition of the subject through our daily digital experience. Attempting to chart the digital traces human beings leave behind them, in writing or in archives, it situates them in the larger political, economic and financial frame of our times.
In the face of radical transitions in social organization, technology, and the living environment, numerous thinkers have moved away from semiotic and psychoanalytic critical models in order to question human agency and imagine a broader material one existing in the world. Yet the language attending such endeavors?often put forward in the spirit of?scientific? or?objective? exercise?suggests we would benefit from revisiting another era's interrogations of rationalism to engage the dilemmas of our own time.0The New Existentialism takes stock of contemporary art in light of these philosophical dialogues, proposing how the tenuous human subject is again faced with the prospect of defining its parameters and context in order to arrive at different terms for ethical thinking, conduct, and meaning.0Edited with a preface by curator and author Tim Griffin, The New Existentialism follows on from the eponymous conference organized at The Kitchen in the context of the ART2 festival in New York in April 2014.
