The Terrase: a space for art in Nanterre presents a day of thinking and exchanges on and around painting today in association with the research network and programme that have been created between various territorial, national and European universities and art schools: Painting in the time of the post-medium. Scenes of painting, coordinated by Olivier Gourvil and supported by the research department of the General direction for artistic creation of the Minister for Culture and Communication.
Programme for the day :
Reception at 10a.m. with hot drinks provided.
Roundtable 1 > 10:30a.m. - 12h30p.m. : Fixed term paintings . The aesthetic of the sand castle.
Moderator : Miguel Angel Molina, artist, Doctor in plastic arts.
With Stokvis, Krijn de Koning, Christophe Cuzin, Philippe Richard, Olivier Nottellet, artists, Christine Buci-Glucksmann, historian.
Since the nineties, new practices in painting that are “hors tableau” have generated developments in on site installations and interventions. Ephemeral creation for temporary exhibitions, sometimes in public space becomes a characterised form of work. What is hiding behind this aesthetic of the sand castle?
Roundtable 2 > 2p.m. to 4p.m.: Trouble in Painting, pictorial instability.
Moderators and each other's guest : Joan Ayrton et Katharina Schmidt.
With Jung, artist, Alexandra Roussopoulos, artist, Julien Alins, artist, Luc Andrié, artist, teacher and curator, Guillaume Durrieu, artist, Hervé Sénant, art historian and teacher.
This second roundtable gathers together artists and an art historian to investigate what the new forms of so called “enlarged” collective exhibitions could look like. Instabilities, trouble and willing slippage seem today to be tools for thinking differently about the collective exhibition, a way of shaking up the codes. The discussion will be based on an experiment by nine artists from Germany, France and Poland, with the Trouble in painting exhibition in the BBB centre for art in Toulouse, on March 3rd, 2015, on an initiative of Katharina Schmidt, on the artistic (pictorial or not) and curatorial practises of artists Florence Jung and Luc Andrié, both established in Switzerland, on those of the artist Alexandra Roussopoulos, and finally, on the activities of the young collective IPN in Toulouse, represented at the round table by one of the artists, Julien Alins.
Restitution > 4:30p.m. – 5p.m. : What is being done in painting?
