Festival Inter cambio Brazil-France Exhibition


Albano Afonso, Brigida Baltar, Sandra Cinto, Emmanuel Lagarrigue.



Festival of Contemporary Art Inter-cambio organizes meetings among artists, art historians, critics and curators. It addresses the contemporary in the spirit of an art freed, now more of a reading grid restricted to those idiosyncrasies of a territory particular. Aiming the exceeded of representations national in contemporary art, which are yet our days subject seasons cultural devoted to foreign countries, the Festival Inter-cambio part of an immediate exchange between two or more scenes artistic sharing space common in France, before this exchange not do subject a other edition festival the or the country with we work with.

This new edition is devoted to Brazil and France. The four guest artists interview each in their own way, issues related to identity implied by the demarcation of an area circumscribed. The notion of territory in which these artists are interested here covers a wide sense, devoid of political boundaries. It is designed as a place paradoxically dreamlike and pragmatic. Mixing dream experience of sublime objectivity the facilities and unreleased devices presented by Albano Afonso ( Fazendo Estrelas ) Brígida Baltar and Sandra Cinto ( Heaven and Earth ) and Emmanuel Lagarrigue ( There Are More Things ) plunge the viewer into an experience that Duchamp would have qualified "métaréaliste.

What this be with the devices and facilities of Lands Heaven and , Fazendo Estrelas or There Are More Things , the are Cartesian collection procedures are putting flat. By addressing these issues related to issues of perception, the four artists invited to the Festival Inter-cambio overshadow the show and claim limits our ability to apprehend reality.

Interstices, Entredeux, intermediate states, In the limit considers the actual or symbolic space allocated to that imaginary line separating two areas: the border. Through the eyes of contemporary artists, In the limit not built one before and one after that boundary but it reveals the thickness, the place from which the situation could change.

The works presented thus playing a wire as they exist in the tension they generate. The inframince unveiled on this occasion crystallizes a moment T, it represents the moment when a "semantic fission takes place" in the words of Marcel Duchamp, and where the mysterious gap that is created is causing a reversal . It describes phenomena that surround us, which are everywhere and we do not necessarily notice. The inframince, according to Duchamp, this kind of difference is small and this is ultimate without forcing its manifestation. Embodying an equilibrium point, it marks the status of extreme fragility and instability at work when moving from one state to another.

meeting place of opposites, things, words, images, people always tend to the limit, ultimate destination par excellence, for the transgression would mean the arrival, the journey's end. They are ultimately attracted to states where tiny is revealed through the discovery of cracks in the geographical, political, social, virtual or symbolic conditioning our relationship with the world. The exercise of freedom is necessarily in play by passing or occupation framework. The identification of these (un) limitations involved by creating visual artworks, each corresponding to an exploration of the limits of territory and aesthetics. They question the conditions for development of artistic practice and exposure.
