The Fictive Archive Investigations group invites you to a day of meetings devoted to fiction at the heart of archives. It's a day where spectators will be able to discover a variety of perspectives on the use of archives in artistic creation. It's also an opportunity to explore the relationship between scientific and artistic practices in a number of fields: philosophy, dance, anthropology and geology.
The artists invited to the gallery are taking part in the exhibition ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ฅ and will have the opportunity to explain or extend their research.
๐ญ๐ฌ:๐ฏ๐ฌ opening of the day: Introduction by Claire Ducรจne, visual artist and curator of the exhibition Memories Gone Wild and Catherine Henkinet, art historian and exhibitions officer at ISELP.
๐ญ๐ฌ:๐ฐ๐ฑ > ๐ญ๐ญ:๐ฏ๐ฌ In the presence, absence - Archives, narratives and virtual existences: what it takes to make exist
By Noรซlie Plรฉ, author and doctoral student in contemporary philosophy
What do we mobilise when we create something? What are we trying to bring into existence? What do we give importance to? Starting with these questions about the act of making, this meeting will explore the relationship between fictional narratives developed from archive material and Etienne Souriau's aesthetic philosophy, unfolding what he calls "the different modes of existence".
๐ญ๐ฎ:๐ฌ๐ฌ > ๐ญ๐ฎ:๐ฐ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ถฬ๐ฒ ๐๐๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ : the Serpentine Dance interrupted by the photographic image
By Patrick Gaรฏaudo, artist and dance researcher
Patrick Gaรฏaudo will be presenting his research on Loรฏe Fuller, the American dancer who presented the Serpentine Dance in Paris in 1892. The aim will be to reconstruct "this form in movement" based on a study of the related body of photographs.
In the internal construction, in the plasticity of the image, we will be able to detect and read a dance on the verge of actualisation.
๐ญ๐ฐ:๐ฌ๐ฌ > ๐ญ๐ฐ:๐ฐ๐ฑ Putting the pieces back together. Inventory critic
By Elise Billiard Pisani, anthropologist and independent curator
An archive is made up of fragments that need to be organised to produce a story. An archive is a discontinuous collection of documents, letters, photographs, recordings and objects of all kinds that are not directly related to each other. By linking them together, we weave the story. In this process of weaving and storytelling, the indexing of each entry is crucial. Far from being a purely administrative and descriptive act, it is a considered political act that will have consequences for the constitution of a corpus and a history.
๐ญ๐ฑ:๐ญ๐ฑ > ๐ญ๐ฒ:๐ฌ๐ฌ Caves as an underground archive and space for fiction
By Balthazar Blumberg, visual artist, and Sophie Verheyden, doctor of environmental geochemistry specialising in cave environments.
The study of caves lies at the crossroads of many disciplines, from geology to archaeology. The concretions found there, and more specifically the stalagmites, crystallise multiple geological, climatic and human histories. How can we understand these interweaving narratives, which evolve over totally different timeframes?
