CONFERENCE BY VANESSA DESCLAUX
«POSSESSION AND STORYTELLING : THE PERFORMANCES OF MATT MULLICAN UNDER HYPNOSIS »
at Hors Les Murs/HLM, 20 rue Saint Antoine, 13002 Marseille, On May 17th 2012, at 7.30pm
Vanessa Desclaux was born in 1981 at Remiremont, France, she lives and works in Paris.
The american artist Matt Mullican (born in 1951, Santa Monica, États-Unis ; lives and works in New York and Berlin) uses hypnosis in it's practice since the early 70's. Almost 40 years later, a corpus of works is then existing – performances, texts, drawings, installations – testify this singular production, that was develloped at the same time as another well known corpus of works by the artist using a vocabulary of signs and symbols displaying all over a cosmology peculiar to Mullican spirit.
Order and chaos gather in this work with numerous and complex subdvisions in wich he keeps questionning the process of artistic production and the coherence of his own identity which is the origin of it. Hypnosis and trance state reach by Mullican through this experience reveals another psycho-identity, the fantasy of a drama character who the artist names« That Person ».
The control by the artist on this production becomes then the main question, his « conscience » of what he is showing in the context of his performances : how much can he be someone else ? rom wich point of view do we consider this "else" ?

A DRINK ON THE CÉCILE DAUCHEZ'S MONOGRAPH
AT COMMISSARIAT, 24 RUE MORET, 75011 PARIS ON MAY, 20TH 2012 AT 05:00 P.M.
Le Dimanche 20 Mai 2012 à 17h au Commissariat, 24 rue Moret, 75011 Paris
Triangle France and the Commissariat are glad to invite you around a drink at the launching of the first Cécile Dauchez' monograph, coproduction of Triangle France, Art Center 3 bis F and P. editions, published with support of Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
« The Cécile Dauchez' plastic work looks for changes of matter's state to seize the instant of its new aspect, and to manifest informations that it delivers us. What arises, in the materials' manipulation, transform them into pictures, and gives rise to a « forms which looks like themselves » experience. The materials' multiplicity used and presented in this monograph, helps bring about a overview very simple ; the impression of a delight state. The text of the artist Maxime Thieffine offers an inspired lecture, where revealed marks on materials work like screens. This lecture becomes clearer by the participation of artists' work as Cheyney Thompson, Sean Snyder, Paul Thek or Richard Serra. Then, Cécile Dauchez reveals, during the discussion with Dorothée Dupuis, an intimate analysis of her artistic practice's motives and destinies. Their dialogue puts into perspective the artist' renewed experience during her studio's work. »
(extract of the press release from P. editions, disponible here)

It will be the occasion to discover the first exhibition of the Commissariat's new team too (for those who didn't see it anymore), with the artists Pablo Cots, Nicolas Giraud, Justin Meekel, Julien Tiberi and Nicholas Vargelis.
