“Tu vois je veux dire (You See What I Mean) bis” – Education project in High School
Fanette Lambey
“Tu vois je veux dire” is an Artistic and Cultural Education project run by Bétonsalon – Center for Art and Research (Paris, 13th), 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, Marianne High School in Villeneuve-le-Roi, and Armand Guillaumin High School in Orly.
Initiated in 2023-2024, the “Tu vois je veux dire” project takes as its starting point Bétonsalon’s Young Mediators Program and allows high school students to experiment with different forms of mediation around artistic practices from both visual and performing arts. Continuing in 2024-2025, this project seeks—through observation, listening, encounters with artists and art professionals, dialogue, and artistic practice—to challenge the traditional roles and voices associated with discourse on artworks within cultural and artistic institutions. It does so by imagining and inventing original public engagement formats: podcasts, dance-based tours, design publication, and more.
In 2024-2025, the project expands to two new high schools: students from six classes will share and experiment with new ways of engaging in and delivering mediation around performances and dance shows they will select from the program of the Val-de-Marne Dance Biennale, organized by La Briqueterie:
• At Adolphe Chérioux High School, a class will work with artist Fanette Lambey on Alain Platel’s performance “Coup Fatal” to design a T-shirt and create a performance-based mediation informed by congolese sapology on the show for another class in the school.
• At Marianne High School, a general 10th-grade class will work on a performance from the Biennale to produce an original mediation for another class.
• At Armand Guillaumin High School, an 11th-grade vocational class will work on a Biennale performance to create an original mediation for another class.
Fanette Lambey
Fanette Lambey was born in 1997 in Dole (Jura). A graduate of ENSBA Lyon in 2023, she lives and works in Paris. She is the recipient of the Dufraine Prize (2023) and the Prix de Paris (2023). Her work is built around acts of translation, citation, and plagiarism. Guided by the concept of intertextuality, she collects images and texts that she attempts to reveal or neutralize through their juxtaposition. The installations she constructs weave pre-existing or supposed connections, oscillating between ambiguities and meaningful ruptures. Within these, she seeks to subvert the authority of what she considers to be a hegemonic language, of those who speak and transmit it, using tools of common language such as misunderstanding and implication. In 2024, Fanette Lambey was a resident of the ENSBA Lyon x Cité internationale des arts program.
