Act of poetry - Installation





En


The act of poetic creation refers to the etymology of the word poetry: from the Greek poiein, to make, to produce, to manufacture. Poetry in Greek can mean any manufactured object as well as a work of the mind.
Need for poetry to resist.
Need for poetry to protect me from the violence of the world.
Need for poetry to shape what upsets me, and thereby, to try to let go.
Need for poetry to be "other".
To seek another perception of the world.
To search in poetic actions the traces (images, objects, notes, elements, sounds ...) that still resonate for me today.
With the memory of moments where art and life are intimately linked

L’acte de création poétique renvoie à l’étymologie du mot poésie: du grec poiein, faire, produire, fabriquer. La poésie en grec peut aussi bien désigner tout objet manufacturé qu’un ouvrage de l’esprit.
Besoin de poésie pour résister.
Besoin de poésie pour me protéger de la violence du monde.
Besoin de poésie pour mettre en forme ce qui me bouleverse, et par là même, tenter de lâcher prise.
Besoin de poésie pour pouvoir être "autre".
Chercher une autre perception du monde.
Chercher dans des actions poétiques les traces (images, objets, notes, éléments, sons...) qui résonnent encore pour moi aujourd'hui.
Avec le souvenir de moments où l'art et la vie sont intimement liés.

34 jours pour atteindre le bonheur. Exposition et Salon de Curiosités





«Nous sommes tous des fragments, sans formes et de diverses compositions, au point que chaque pièce, chaque moment, joue son propre jeu ; ainsi, il y a autant de différences entre nous et nous-mêmes qu'il y a de différences entre nous et autrui.»

"We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game; so there is as much difference between us and ourselves as there is between us and others". Michel de Montaigne


Exhibition and Curiosity Saloon

For the summer season, La Maison Févret presents an exhibition and a curiosity saloon gathering artists from various regions, Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, India.

What is lecture performance? ISELP

What is a performance? What is a lecture? What is a lecture performance?
The action consist in reading and performing, according to the context of a day about "lecture performance".
An exploration by questionning the term "lecture performance" by itself. 
Physically. 
What happens when a term is repeated for many hours?
If, by repeating a word for hours, this one loses its meaning and reveals its hollow materiality, what happens to the one who says it? For one who hears it? 
This performance took place 12th may 2018 from 1pm to 6pm in the context of the event Rites of Exchange at ISELP, invited by Nathalie Cohen

Ash Rain, Nijmegen

Asregen is the last part of the triptych Vulkaanuitbarsting / Horror Vacui / Asregen. At the end of 2016 the Volcano erupted and Extrapool was filled with explosive performances in sound and image. After the violence of this first event, the air was not immediately cleared. A number of artists felt attracted to this and filled the space with theatrical performances during Horror Vacui. Now the air has finally come to a standstill and the ash is whirling down in the venue. The mess of the past will foul the soil, but eventually new life will be born from the fertile ashes. Extrapool invites Vaida Tamoševičiūtė, Ronald Bal and Beatrice Didier to transfer both the apocalyptic and the hope of recovery to the audience. Lilia Scheerder
