Material contingencies

Mathilde — 2019-05-18T13:09:00Z

Material contingencies presents contemporary notions of “object” and “objecthood” and how they may or may not materialise. An exhibition with The History of Design and Curatorial Studies MA of Parsons School Paris.

With works by Forensic Architecture, Francis Alÿs, Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann, Quentin Lazzareschi, Emilie Moutsis, Lawrence Weiner, Ana Maria Gallego.

We live in an age of contradictory relationship with materiality. The avant-gardes of the 1960s-1970s have expanded the field of art to include conceptual and immaterial practices; meanwhile, digital technologies have developed in a seemingly dematerialised realm of networks and interfaces. At the same time, digital economies have a social and environmental impact that is anything but immaterial. We also cannot ignore today's renewed interest in crafts and materiality in the arts, and how this reveals a need to reclaim the authenticity of an embodied experience.

Where materiality had previously described the physical, tangible and concrete world of objects, we chose to explore shifting and blurring boundaries to consider a range of potential material forms:

an aquarium TV containing fish that do not require feeding, drops of concrete percolating through a coffee machine, electromagnetic waves appearing like a swarm of fireflies—and of course floors, walls, smells, air drafts, our bodies, your bodies.

Material Contingencies attempts to create zones through an assemblage of objects that radiate feelings, reactions and emotions. Each of these objects has a presence—a manner through which they appear to us in the world. This presence may eventually disappear into thin air. This is the strange contingency of material things.

With the amazing team of curators : Lama Alissa, Pamela Arellano, Jennifer Briasco, Reynaldo Gomez, Renée Hong, Nicolette Kabitsis, Sif Lindblad, Ruchanan Patarapanish & Jorge Torrens.

Complex lecture

Mathilde — 2018-08-04T14:37:46Z

In the frame of the exhibition EX.PDF : EXPOSER LES ÉCRITURES EXPOSÉES of Label Hypothèse at Mains d'oeuvres, Mathilde Sauzet, curator and autor of Les commissaires anonymes, and Anne-Sarah Huet, artist et economist, contributor for the Ghettopera book performed a composition of texts about complexity with musical exerpts of Gabriel Mattei.

The performance is composed as a back and fourth between two distinct texts read by their respective authors mixed following a system of notes.
: Mathilde elaborate about the three artworks (The ventriloquist convention of Gisèle Vienne, I Soldier of Köken Ergun et The Excluded. In a moment of danger of Chto Delat). And Anne-Sarah Huet translates the enunciations into a game theory set, developped from a note to another.

The ventriloquist, the soldier and the geant ear are the main actors of an operatic and non operational theory .

Alternatively to the reading parts, several pieces of opera are broadcasted in midi format from a handy speaker. Mix of art, music and mathematic languages, the double discourse builds up, little by little, poetical mental images, thoses inherent to language complexity.

Duration: 20 minutes

Mathilde — 2018-02-24T18:40:55Z

International workshop of urban planning in Cergy-Pontoise, 2017

TOWARDS AN INCLUSIVE CITY
Drivers of social values and wealth creation

What are Les ateliers?

A non profit- organization since 1982, Les Ateliers – International workshops of planning and urban design – aims to develop the collective creation of ideas that tackle the challenges and processes of everyday city planning and design. by promoting a process of collective and multidisciplinary work that produces innovative and illustrative proposals relating to urban design and spatial development.

The Grignyotheque

Les commissaires anonymes had been invited to callaborate to the collective workshops of september around the notion of the “inclusive city” with the artist Boris Achour, as associated artists. At the end of the three weeks session, they published in the synthesis document a communication: The Grygnyothèque.

Synthesis document available HERE.

The contribution les commissaires anonymes is a critical point of view on the notion of “inclusive city” and a fictive proposal for an infrastructure of languages prototypes, inspired by the meetings with city representatives and the inhabitants of Grigny in a southwestern suburb of Paris.
