La Suite : une chambre d’hôtel inoccupée…
Pourtant, le mobilier est sujet à des manifestations sonores…

Comme un ensemble de mondes fantômes, des oeuvres sonores se diffusent dans les éléments du mobilier et les transforment ainsi en autant de haut-parleurs.
La chambre, alors incarnée, animée par toutes ces identités, vibre de chacune de ces présences particulières.*

Commissaire : Jean-Philippe F.Roux.

* La Suite : an unoccupied hotel room… However, furniture is prone to sound demonstations

An exhibition-diffusion. The sound works realized by the artists are diffused through furniture. This one, become loudspeaker, is animated by these singular indentities like many phantom worlds.

April, London
Invited by the medialab at Area 10 in London, Jean-Philippe Roux will realize new works supported by CS3.

2 days and 1 special evening will launch
presenting artworks, performances and presentations from artists,
collectives and hackers working within the New Media and Digital realm.

SOUND DELTA
June and july, Mons (Be), Lille (Fr), Giurgiu (Ro), Rousse (Bu).

The collective MU proposes Sound Delta across Europe. From July to september two boat will navigate along the Rhin and Danube rivers. Invited artists will produce many kind of sound forms, online radio broadcasts (…) during the trip.

The collective MU invites Apo33 and CS3 to create installations as new extensions, or reactivations, of the “Poulpe” initiated by Apo33.

Those local installations will work with the context of their presentation.
Every work of art depends on its presentation context, which appears most of the time as exhibitions. Those exhibitions need a certain type of visual communication, they uses the grey floor and white walls as (pseudo-neutral) signs telling us we are in an exhibition context (…).
Here, the work will use its present context as a part of its own reality : as an image of a place, the sound reality will be collected and treated regarding to the human activity, the architectural environment, the climate…

Those works will investigate the idea of immaterial sculptures, we could say mental shapes…
Connected through the internet the sound flows will realize a sound shape, a sculpture existing through different places and visible only partially from one local point.
In each city, our bodies will be in touch with one “sculpture”, one sound shape and our mind will construct the immaterial sound sculpture made by them alltogether.

Ok, we hace already started this year while I am writing those lines…

On february 9, we had the pleasure to receive Samon Takahashi for a Purepresence meeting at Point ephémère who hosts us. The meeting was interesting and pleasant, we are glad to our numerous visitors. Samon had good returns, Purepresence too. Thanks.

For the continuation of our work in a new place, we hope to propose many meetings this year, depending on our personnal works and exhibitions, and, of course depending on the money we do not have ;-).
To be informed on who will be our next invited artists, we invite you to visit regularily our website and to subscribe our newsletter…

In april we will propose another public form to show how artists work actually with sounds…

We also look for partners to create a special book collection on something-like-art-and-sound-practices-and-thoughts…
