Tu vois je veux dire (You know what I mean) – Education project at Adolphe Chérioux highschool (Vitry-sur-Seine)
Bye Bye Binary, Hélène Carbonnel, Valéria Giuga, Morgane Baffier
“Tu vois je veux dire” is an artistic and cultural education project run by Bétonsalon – centre for art & research (Paris, 13th arrondissement), Ivry’s Contemporary Art Centre – Le Crédac (Ivry-sur-Seine, 94) and La Briqueterie – National Choreographic Development Center of Val-de-Marne (Vitry-sur-Seine, 94), in collaboration with the Adolphe Chérioux highschool in Vitry-sur-Seine.
The project takes as its starting point the “Young Mediators Programme” developed by Bétonsalon’s Outreach team, a space for dialogue and transmission built around the exhibitions and their interpretation. With “Tu vois je veux dire”, the three cultural venues deployed the program together, sharing and experimenting with high-school students various forms of visit and sharing around artistic practices in the visual and performing arts. Through observation, listening, encounters with artists and art professionals, dialogue and artistic practice, the project helped to overturn the roles and voices traditionally associated with discourse on works of art within cultural and artistic institutions, by imagining and inventing original ways of accompanying the public: podcasts, a dancing tour, the design and graphic production of an exhibition booklet, and so on.
Students from three high school classes have been sharing and experimenting with new ways of doing and carrying mediation during the 2023-2024 school year around Sylvie Fanchon’s “SOFARSOGOOD” exhibition on show at Bétonsalon from May 3 to July 13, 2024.
Each class has designed an original visiting format that will be shared by students during a visit for peers at the restitution on Monday afternoon, May 27.
A convivial afternoon of encounters and exchanges with:
• A dancing visit by the Terminale CAP Signage and graphic design students, conceived with choreographer Valéria Giuga, the support of Arina Dolgikh from La Briqueterie and their sport teacher Virginie Raynal.
• A serie of podcasts imagined by the 2nd 9 students written and recorded with writer and director Hélène Carbonnel, with the support of Lucia Zapparoli from Crédac and their literature teacher Pierre Dammame. The podcasts are available for free listening on the Crédac Radio platform.
• The exhibition diary created by the 2nd 6 students with Félixe Kazi-Tani, Léna Salabert-Triby and Roxanne Maillet from the Bye Bye Binary collective, with the support of Elena Lespes Muñoz from Bétonsalon and their Arts teachers Margot Jayle and Nathalie Cornaz.
“Tu vois je veux dire” is an artistic and cultural education project run by Crédac, Bétonsalon and la Briqueterie in collaboration with teachers Pierre Dammame, Margot Jayle and Virginie Raynal from the Adolphe Chérioux highschool in Vitry-sur-Seine, with support from the Région Île-de-France.
Morgane Baffier
Morgane Baffier is an artist-lecturer whose surname derives from the ancient Occitan “bafa” meaning “swindle”, and this information may be important in understanding her work. Using graphics, fabricated images and Internet videos, she elaborates all manner of metaphysical theories and reflections, developing them to the point of absurdity. In a bid to deconstruct knowledge, she appropriates the codes used in business, the media and intellectual circles, and mocks, with finesse and humor, the systems of power and authority that condition access to speech.
“Conference on mediation, art, the mediation of art and the art of mediation” – Performance by Morgane Baffier
Tuesday, March 5, 2024 at 1 p.m.
Amphi Méliès
Lycée Adolphe Chérioux
In this talk, Morgane Baffier tackles the concept of mediation in contemporary art, drawing some parallels with the school environment. She demonstrates this by exposing different artistic currents such as minimalism, maximalism and airbnbism. Ranging from Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe to Sylvie Fanchon and Léna Situations, the artist presents works from these currents of thought. The artist’s approach to mediation (sometimes shaky and often far-fetched) reveals the essence of her thinking: the artist’s words must be desacralized. Mediation is also about imagination.
