Genève Art Contemporain
Itinerant presentation of the facsimile of the publication Les plaintifs, les bêtes, les politiques
Signing session in the presence of Thomas Hirschhorn
Videos of Integrated Presentation at the 8th Biennial of Moving Images, Centre pour l’image contemporaine, Saint-Gervais Geneva.
Integrated Videos, 1995-1999
Compilation of all the videos embedded by Thomas Hirschhorn at its installations between 1995 and 1999, video, VHS PAL, 15 ‘, color, sound, achieved by raising and Coraly Suard-Hirschhorn, produced by the Centre pour l’image contemporaine, Saint-Gervais Geneva in collaboration with the Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine, published by bdv, Paris, 1999.
One of the rooms will be occupied by a huge “stand” (Les Plaintifs, les Bêtes, les Politiques). […] The other rooms will be crossed by a cardboard box wall where Thomas Hirschhorn will intervene by collages of photographs, newspaper clippings and pages from his previous catalogs. The comments he will add will enable him to act again and document his exhibitions again. This kind of presentation gives the opportunity not only to re-expose his work but to subject it to self-criticism, justifying itself again and again, breaking the classification of genres – exhibitions, videos, catalogs, texts, editions – to defer the closure of his work. The works are reused and re-discussed, like the cardboard box constituent material, revealing an artistic practice that also announces itself on the mode of recovery and recycling.

Focus: Mélanie Matranga
Mélanie Matranga’s artistic approach is crossed by stories that infiltrate a production of objects, installations, films, and even pieces of furniture and reconstructions of interiors that are loaded with signifying signs, texts and images: drawings, photographs, prints, projections. These combined elements propose “situations” that interrogate intimacy and seem to be filled with sensations and residual feelings, receptacles where real life experience and imagination, the document and the scenario meet.

Until March 11, 2017
Artists’ Voices assembles a group of sound pieces linked to the theme of the voice. The voice considered as a strong marker on the unconscious, a pre-language primal expression that is directly connected to emotions and is identifiable by a body of signs: tone, vibration, timbre, rhythm. The sound pieces are songs, declamations, monologues, a reading, a discourse, a dialogue, an echo, a whisper, a noise, a scream or breathing, up to the point of rupture, dysphonia, aphonia, silence, or even the return of sound and music.
