Déjà vu gathers works and successive reviews that have been produced about them at previous exhibitions. Result of a police group led by university context, Déjà vu involves the plurality of discourses on the works. They are descriptive, analytical, poetic or ambiguous, news releases, press kits, catalogs or brochures cartels express a certain vision of the work and influence its reception. One exhibition to another, certain works stand the exegesis, while others lend themselves to a wide variety of comments. Expose not only works but also the discourses that have surrounded an opportunity to reflect on the impact of these in their interpretations: how a work can be transformed by its integration with a theme of exposure?
By offering a multitude of readings of works we make easier their understanding or otherwise, does it blurs the tracks? The speech did he emerge the substance of the work, or it escapes him she fatally? On the mode of sampling, the excerpts from various sources are combined to form a new entity, however fragmentary, and obviously not exhaustive. Rather than limiting the work in a predetermined reading, it is to affirm their openness to new interpretations.
Exploring the path of works from place to place, Déjà vu is a way to finally address the memory of exhibitions, at a time when the number of exhibitions of contemporary art is constantly increasing, the risk of saturating the minds.
A cultural program and a publication in partnership with Week, weekly magazine for contemporary art, complete the exhibition.
Déjà vu is a project conceived by the Class of 2010 Master 2 Science and technology exhibition at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, under the direction of Francoise Docquiert, and held in association Starts .
