Group show at Ygrec-ENSAPC art Centre
\nOpening saturday 30 November, 5 pm to 9pm<\/p>\n

From 4 December 2024 to 18 January 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

With:<\/strong> Mathis Collins, Raphae\u0308l Delannoy, Le\u0301ontine Deslandes, Sveva Diolaiti, Gral et Isadora Guzniczak.
\nCurator:<\/strong> Gral<\/p>\n

The art Center Ygrec hands over the keys to a group of artists and ENSAPC students to manage a project from A to Z: they are responsible for the creation of their works, as well as curating, setting up and mediating the exhibition.<\/p>\n

The exhibition has its origins in a news item: the corpse of a woman is discovered one morning in April 1943, in the hollow of a tree planted in the middle of the Worcestershire English countryside. Soon after, anonymous graffities start to appear on the walls of the nearby village, all repeating the same question over a century: \u00ab Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? \u00bb (Qui a mis Bella dans l\u2019Orme aux Sorci\u00e8res ?)<\/p>\n

Imbued by the surrounding mystery and the rural context in which they are found, those writings evoke the horrific possibilities set in folklore, starting point to the exhibition\u2019s proposition: exploring horror movies artistic heritage. Indeed, despite being unable to find Bella\u2019s murderer, the artists united here take on the transgressive qualities of \u00ab\u00a0horror folk\u00a0\u00bb, movie genre that fantasizes about a return to paganism whilst confronting our modern sensibilities to isolated communities with strange beliefs. From then on, the works on display offer a dark folklore, at ease with provocation and disturbance as political tool, outlining the landscapes of a new system in which nature and bodies all dance over the old-world ruins .[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”13286″ img_size=”Medium” css=”.vc_custom_1738250832339{padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”Learn More” css=”.vc_custom_1750334928189{padding-left: 25px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ensapc.fr%2Fen%2Fygrec%2Farchives%2F2024-2%2Fwho-put-bella-in-the-witch-elm%2F”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]FAIRE CONNAISSANCES<\/strong><\/em>
\nKnowing (each others)<\/p>\n

Solo show by Marianne Mispela\u00ebre at Ygrec-ENSAPC Art Centre
\nIn collaboration with Le bureau des heures invisibles (bhi)<\/p>\n

18 <\/strong>September <\/strong>to <\/strong>9 <\/strong>November <\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 2020 to 2022, Marianne Mispela\u00ebre led a collective and collaborative project in Marseille through the Nouveaux commanditaires (New Patrons) program : Les langues comme objets migrateurs (Languages as Migratory Objects<\/em>) (arts outreach – prod. thankyouforcoming<\/em>). She worked with teachers of French, German and literature, and a scholar in language education. Fourteen classes of youths from the Vieux Port Middle School, Ren\u00e9 Cailli\u00e9 High School, and Victor Hugo High School, worked with the artist with the support of their educators.<\/p>\n

The project started with the question : what does it mean to study in a French public school today as a plurilingual teenager or as a student living in a multicultural environment? Students, aged 11 to 18, inspired, supported, and guided Marianne Mispela\u00ebre in her research. While many of the youths involved in the project were born in France, many of them are plurilingual, and others, newly arrived, are learning French. Together, through the lens of the children’s language practices, they discussed and engaged with questions of plurilingualism,\u00a0 multilingualism, exile, transmission, history, creolization, translation, and identity.<\/p>\n

Several works were produced emerging from\u00a0 the complexities of the project. \u00c9crire dedans sa langue <\/em>(To write \u201cfromwithin\u201d your language<\/em>) was created as a protocol. Additional works include the film Un \u0153il sur ta langue (An eye on your tongue<\/em>), the typeface La Marseillaise (The Marseillaise)<\/em>, the protocols Comment vois-tu le monde \u00e0 travers ta langue? <\/em>(How do you see the world through your language?)<\/em>, and \u00catre un \u00eatre traduit (Being a translated being)<\/em>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”13041″ img_size=”Medium” css=”.vc_custom_1738250255750{padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”Learn More” css=”.vc_custom_1738250309105{padding-left: 25px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ensapc.fr%2Fen%2Factualite%2Ffaire-connaissances-marianne-mispelaere-au-centre-dart-ygrec-ensapc%2F”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]IN THE SHADOWS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Group show at Ygrec-ENSAPC Art Center, Gymnase Manouchian, OMJA, M\u00e9diath\u00e8que Saint-John Perse, Service Municipal Jeunesse.<\/p>\n

From the 8th of June to the 9th of September 2024<\/strong>
\nOpening on the 8th of June from 4pm till 8pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With: <\/strong>Madanie, Nadezhda Ermakova, Camille Millerand, Ulises Tapia et Jawarlan Bolo.<\/p>\n

The exhibition In the Shadows gathers together photographs by Madanie, Nadezhda Ermakova, Camille Millerand, Ulises Tapia and Jawarlan Bolo. More than 70 images are displayed in 5 different locations: at the Gymnase Manouchian, at the OMJA, in the M\u00e9diath\u00e8que (Media Library) Saint-John Perse, at the Service Municipal Jeunesse Saint-John Perse, and in the shop window of the Ygrec-ENSAPC Art Center.<\/p>\n

From boxing to basketball, p\u00e9tanque to chess, the exhibition photographs highlight athletes, players, amateurs who train for the sake of it, for self-transcendence, for collective achievement or simply for pleasure.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is a tribute to the sports people, the practitioners, the coaches, the sites wardens, and all the people who contribute to the very existence of those sports and activities. The project forms part of the Olympiade Culturelle supported by the Ile-de France Region.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12204″ img_size=”Medium” css=”.vc_custom_1738234908526{padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”En savoir plus” css=”.vc_custom_1738234821509{padding-left: 25px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ensapc.fr%2Fen%2Factualite%2Fin-the-shadows%2F”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]CO(NA\u00ceTRE)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Solo show by Jonathan Potana at the Ygrec ENSAPC Art Center and POUSH<\/p>\n

From the 29th of May till the 13th of July 2024<\/strong>
\nOpening : Saturday 25th of May, 5pm -9pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Art curation: <\/strong>Guillaume\u00a0Breton<\/p>\n

Co(na\u00eetre) \u2013 Co(generate)<\/em> is the first solo show by the Reunion artist Johnathan Potana. He presents a set of sculptures, installations and performances over two sites in Aubervilliers: at the Ygrec ENSAPC Art Centre and at POUSH (as part of the group show Nord-Est, <\/em>Cartographie des R\u00e9sonnances<\/em> \u2013 North-East, Mapping resonances<\/em>).<\/p>\n

With this double show, the artist has wished to forge a dialogue with the city of Aubervilliers, to work with its materials, objects and waste. Symbolic and real links between the Reunion Island and Aubervilliers are therefore generated, whilst their colonial past is highlighted, as well as the presence that a continuous migration constitutes on its plural identity. However, the constellation of unfolded relationships in this exhibition does not stop at the surface of our planet, it spreads way beyond the terrestrial atmosphere to bring us near what the artist names \u201ccosmic considerations, primal ones devoid of edges and limits\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Potana will simultaneously develop a \u201cliving installation\u201d on the 1st<\/sup> of June from 7pm till midnight at the L\u00e9on Salagnac Park in Malakoff, following an invitation by the Contemporary Art Centre of Malakoff, for Nuit Blanche\u00a0 2024.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12143″ img_size=”Medium” css=”.vc_custom_1738235231531{padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”En savoir plus” css=”.vc_custom_1738234830589{padding-left: 25px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ensapc.fr%2Fen%2Factualite%2Fconaitre-jonathan-potana-au-centre-dart-ygrec-ensapc-nuit-blanche%2F”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]SANDS OF SELF<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Curator : <\/strong>Guillaume Breton<\/p>\n

Sands of self is a collective project in the framework of a joint course offered by Guillaume Chevillon (ESSEC Metalab for Data, Technology & Society) and Jeff Guess (\u00c9cole nationale sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019arts Paris-Cergy) with guest artist Mounir Ayache who proposed to create a video game using Artificial Intelligence in all aspects of production. A group of four ENSAPC students created the exhibition and put the finishing touches on the game.
\nThis project has received government funding managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) under the France 2030 future investment program, under reference ANR-17-NCUN-016.<\/p>\n

Set in a simulated version of the city of Cergy – to which the students are closely linked – the game revisits the idea of the Ville Nouvelle in an indeterminate future, characterized by the increasing embeddedness of artificial intelligence in all aspects of urban life.
\nThe generative AI models used for the game\u2019s design, programming, soundtrack and narration produce an environment with blurred boundaries, that the player can explore by interacting with an omniscient voice echoing through the exhibition space. The installation extends the game by associating objects found in Cergy – residues of urban metabolism – with recovered fragments of d\u00e9cor, creating a juxtaposition of different narratives.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11960″ img_size=”medium” css=”.vc_custom_1738234892620{padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”Learn More” css=”.vc_custom_1738250214890{padding-left: 25px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ensapc.fr%2Fen%2Factualite%2Fsands-of-self-group-show-at-ygrec-ensapc-art-center%2F|title:Sands%20of%20Self”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]IMAGES LATENTES<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\nWed – Sat, 1pm – 7pm
\nOpening Friday January 20th, 2024, 6pm to 9pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition was produced in collaboration with the guest artist St\u00e9phanie Solinas, an invitation by Christian Genty and Jeff Guess (ENSAPC).<\/p>\n

What if the proclaimed dematerialization of the contemporary digital photographic image (despite its real substantiality in data centers and other concrete artifacts upon which it rests) led to a renewal of the forms and modalities of the presence of specters that photography has ceaselessly produced since its invention? This is the starting point for these artists, students at the ENSAPC, whose works were developed under the watchful eye of visual artist St\u00e9phanie Solinas. By reviving the materiality of photographic picture-making, these practices assert their relationship, sometimes symbolic and ambiguous, with a history of photographic revelation, the printed object, and chemical and optical processes. The latent image, inscribed by light on silver-based film but still awaiting development, becomes a principle and method for thinking about the manifestation of bodies in an indeterminate space, of inscribing figures in the extended temporality of appearances and, above all, of the power of leaving traces.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11929″ img_size=”medium” css=”.vc_custom_1738234879101{padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”Learn More” css=”.vc_custom_1738250205336{padding-left: 25px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ensapc.fr%2Fen%2Factualite%2Fimages-latentes-au-centre-dart-ygrec-ensapc%2F|title:IMAGES%20LATENTES”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
