April 4 - April 7, 2012
Soigne ta droite de J.L. Godard,

Bétonsalon – Centre for Art and Research and the Ateliers Cinéma of Paris Diderot (UFR LAC) have the plea­sure to pre­sent La Musique au tra­vail. The exhi­bi­tion sur­veys the work of the stu­dents from the Master 1 work­shop « Pratique artis­tique du cinéma » 2011-2012, directed by Noëlle Pujol.

Noëlle Pujol pro­posed to her stu­dents this year to focus their prac­tice on the pro­cess of fig­u­ra­tion in musical cre­ation. Prompting the fol­lowing ques­tions: how does one rep­re­sent music when it is in the pro­cess of being made, how does one film and stage sound and how does one give shape to the research, rep­e­ti­tion and inven­tion by musi­cians?

It is in under­standing music as an autonomous aes­thetic matter that one can con­sider mea­suring sound as an equal visual power. The stu­dents were required to take this point of depar­ture: to film the work of musi­cians through a series of sequence shots and to feel and transmit that which occurs for musi­cians by filming con­tinued dura­tions and assessing the internal dynamics of a given instant. Following from their series of sequence shots realised in the form of sound clip video instal­la­tions, the direc­tors (in groups of two or three) were required to then con­sider the pre­sen­ta­tion of their films in the con­text of an exhi­bi­tion space.

The exhi­bi­tion « La musique au tra­vail » is the second pro­ject of the col­lab­o­ra­tion ini­ti­ated in 2010 between the Ateliers Cinéma and Bétonsalon. To mark the opening of the exhi­bi­tion, there will be musical per­for­mances by the musi­cians/pro­tag­o­nists of the films and by a group of stu­dents in the work­shops.
