An attempt at communication begins to take shape between two bodies that remain voiceless, in a deafening silence, reflecting their own questioning of a body that is different. Through the desire to embrace an identity that is other&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Through the will to accept a language that is foreign to me, I choose you, I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the range of your gestures, which, through their dance, manage to make me hear what the voice cannot express. I then close my eyes for a moment, and your face becomes the echo of a word, common to all, the tenderness that shines in the night, at the curve of a caress. And thus, words blossom like a meadow sinking into a sleeping dream. /////// Lorsque le silence en dit plus que les mots et que le regard est aspiré&nbsp; par la tension de nos corps en émoi. Une tentative de communication s’esquisse entre deux corps qui restent sans voix, dans un silence hurlant, reflet de leur propre questionnement d’un corps qui est autre. Par le désir d’embrasser une identité autre Par la volonté d’accepter un langage qui m’est étranger, Je te choisis, j’accepte de me laisser envahir par l’éventail de tes gestes qui, par leur danses, parviennent à me faire entendre ce que la voix ne peut énoncer. Je ferme alors un instant les yeux et ton visage devient l’écho d’une parole, commune à tou.te.s, la tendresse qui rayonne dans la nuit, au détour d’une caresse. Et ainsi les mots fleurissent comme une prairie qui sombrerait dans un rêve endormi.

Son origine, nébuleuse, le place tantôt dans un héritage africain (jasi qui signifie « vivre à toute allure, sous pression » ou jaizza « son lointain des percussions » ou encore le mot bantou jaja « danser, faire de la musique »), tantôt dans une descendance française (jaser, « causer, babiller ») ou encore anglaise (to jazz : « copuler »). Qu’il soit lié à une fleur, à un jeu de carte ou au sport, le mot est pris dans un flou sémantique et une aporie quand il s’agit de le traduire. Pour autant, dans toutes les acceptions qu’on lui donne, se glisse le sentiment d’une énergie particulière qui le renvoie à une force, quitte à ce que celle-ci soit obscène.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ce souffle de jazz, proprement pluriel et indicible, se diffuse dans l’installation Mind Channels de Sarah Konté. Il l’innerve, peut-être l’énerve. C’est ce que signalent les premiers mots de la bande sonore, « All that jazz », comme une alarme inquiétante et suave qui sonne en boucle, dans un flux et un flot qui chercheraient à dégager, dans l’expression, un sens indétecté. Puis, se décline une phrase «&nbsp;I’d like to see » sur une même modalité, inlassablement répétée qui résonne, dans la matière sonore, comme une ironie ou un vœu de synesthésie mais qui pour le public indique une forme de voyeurisme. Pour autant, plus les échos s'enchaînent, plus les mots semblent se vider de leur signifié et flotter dans une atmosphère où l’on perd tout repère sémantique. Peu à peu se tissent une intimité et une étroite proximité entre les écouteur.euses et les voix qui s’y croisent : on entend des petits mots entendus à l’écart des conversations, des rires éclatés, des bruits de fond de discussion dans des langues qui se frôlent et se mélangent. Des sons tubulaires jouxtent quelques rares silences et des voix stridentes. «&nbsp;All that jazz, all these lights », «&nbsp;Isn’t that strange&nbsp;?&nbsp;», «&nbsp;It’s not a dream, it’s not a dream&nbsp;» : un ronronnement latent, presque patent et irréel conduit l’ensemble et interroge ce qu’on entend. Le tout grésille, se raye, se brouille, se dilue, dans la fragile connexion d’une partition spatiale qui ressemble étrangement à la mémoire d’un esprit dont les pensées se choquent sans logique apparente. Mind Channels. Et à une femme de dire « on a des souvenirs identiques mais leur interprétation est différente&nbsp;». La déclaration se détache et éclaire ce qu’on voit aux murs, trois vidéos-poèmes comme un orchestre de portraits qui discutent. Dans chaque vidéo, on voit un.e ami.e de l’artiste : JaMila, Samar et Bayo. Soit que le poème motive la vidéo (OH THE BLISS), soit que la vidéo motive le poème (MY NAME IS) ou que la vidéo et le poème s’appellent (AMONG BITTEN DOGS), l’œuvre mélange des voix et des figures qui se ternissent, presque s’évanouissent dans le crépitement et le grain de vidéos, par endroits brouillées et amputées, comme des souvenirs digérés. Les titres, tirés des derniers vers de chaque poème composés par les ami.e.s de l’artiste, formulent ensemble un nouveau poème, le sien, presque un haïku&nbsp;:&nbsp;«&nbsp;OH THE BLISS MY NAME IS AMONG BITTEN DOGS&nbsp;». De la vidéo sont également extraites quatre photographies, des tirages qui marquent dans un registre résolument abstrait une attention microscopique, anatomique et cellulaire à des formes organiques qui s'étiolent. Réalisées à partir de films et grâce à la technique de la rayographie, elles montrent toute la fabrique d’une image piégée dans l’immobilité et vivante pour autant, animée d’une poésie fragmentaire. Un même morcellement se retrouve dans cette chaise faite de miroirs brisés qui, seule, tourne et danse sur elle-même, sur un promontoir noir. Dans l’héritage de la plateforme de Felix-Gonzalès Torres, elle paraît comme une présence qui s’efface sur un socle qui vibre silencieusement et dans le brouhaha de l’esprit. All that jazz… All that jazz. by Lou-Justin Tailhades&nbsp; english version :&nbsp;Few words are as controversial as jazz. Its nebulous origins place it sometimes in an African heritage (jasi meaning "to live at full speed, under pressure" or jaizza "distant sound of percussion" or the Bantu word jaja "to dance, make music"), sometimes in a French descent (jaser, "to chat, babble") or even English (to jazz: "to copulate"). Whether linked to a flower, a card game or sport, the word is caught in a semantic limbo and aporia when it comes to translation. And yet, in all its meanings, the word is imbued with a particular energy that refers to a force, even if this force is obscene. This breath of jazz, properly plural and indescribable, is diffused in Sarah Konté's Mind Channels installation. It permeates it, perhaps even irritates it. This is signaled by the first words of the soundtrack, "All that jazz", like a disquieting, suave alarm that rings out in a loop, in a flow and flux that seeks to release, in the expression, an undetected meaning. Then comes the phrase "I'd like to see" in the same modality, endlessly repeated, resonating in the sound material like irony or a wish for synesthesia, but for the audience indicating a form of voyeurism. And yet, the more the echoes follow one another, the more the words seem to lose their meaning and float in an atmosphere where we lose all semantic reference points. Little by little, an intimacy and close proximity develops between the listeners and the intersecting voices: we hear little words overheard on the sidelines of conversations, bursts of laughter, background noises of discussion in languages that brush against and mix with each other. Tubular sounds play alongside rare silences and strident voices. "All that jazz, all these lights", "Isn't that strange?", "It's not a dream, it's not a dream": a latent, almost patent, unreal hum drives the whole and questions what we hear. The whole thing sizzles, scratches, blurs and dilutes, in the fragile connection of a spatial score that strangely resembles the memory of a mind whose thoughts collide without apparent logic. Mind Channels. And a woman says, "We have identical memories, but their interpretation is different. The statement stands out and illuminates what we see on the walls, three video-poems like an orchestra of talking portraits. Each video features one of the artist's friends: JaMila, Samar and Bayo. Whether the poem motivates the video (OH THE BLISS), the video motivates the poem (MY NAME IS) or the video and poem call each other (AMONG BITTEN DOGS), the work blends voices and figures that fade, almost vanish, in the crackle and grain of the videos, in places blurred and amputated, like digested memories. The titles, taken from the last lines of each poem composed by the artist's friends, together form a new poem, her own, almost a haiku: "OH THE BLISS MY NAME IS AMONG BITTEN DOGS". Four photographs are also extracted from the video, prints that, in a resolutely abstract register, mark a microscopic, anatomical and cellular attention to withering organic forms. Produced from film using the rayography technique, they show the entire fabrication of an image trapped in immobility, yet alive with fragmentary poetry. The same fragmentation can be seen in this chair made of broken mirrors, which turns and dances on its own on a black promontory. In the legacy of Felix-Gonzalès Torres's platform, it appears as a fading presence on a base that vibrates silently in the hubbub of the mind. All that jazz...

The jury, made up of members and correspondents of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, met on March 2 and 6, 2023, and selected the collective led by Lou-Justin Tailhades, holder of a Master's degree in curatorial studies from the Faculté des Lettres de la Sorbonne Paris IV, accompanied by 8 artists from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. This collective is made up of eight artists: Maxime Bagni, Sarah Konté, Hatice Pinarbaşi, Jordan Roger,&nbsp;Mathilde Rossello Rochet, Pierre-Alexandre Savriacouty, Christophe Tabet, Halveig Villand. Coming from all over France, they are graduates of six art schools (the Écoles nationales supérieures des beaux-arts de Paris, Bourges, Lyon, Montpellier, the école nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs and Chelsea College of Arts) and have very diverse approaches and approaches. The 9th studio at Villa Dufraine has been allocated to graphic designer Agathe Bourrée, and the last one has been deliberately left vacant to accommodate a wide range of contributors throughout the eight-month residency: art critics, curators, gallery owners, writers, poets, institutional directors, etc. Photos by&nbsp;© Patrick Rimond <img width="1280" height="1943" width_o="1280" height_o="1943" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/419da9d17e826c99f117220f79dd5376e8346487a4a1b8ff5ecb9dd6d0ab6eaa/2023-Villa_Dufraine-02.jpg" data-mid="193294396" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/419da9d17e826c99f117220f79dd5376e8346487a4a1b8ff5ecb9dd6d0ab6eaa/2023-Villa_Dufraine-02.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="852" width_o="1280" height_o="852" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/41b3529357f79825c9a1e0a73ce2f80cc3d58057486075ea8b3c83f2c9dc2f5c/2023-Villa_Dufraine-07.jpg" data-mid="193294397" border="0" data-scale="72" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/41b3529357f79825c9a1e0a73ce2f80cc3d58057486075ea8b3c83f2c9dc2f5c/2023-Villa_Dufraine-07.jpg" /> <img width="1280" height="850" width_o="1280" height_o="850" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f1b390b96a2ab8aba433d9dceec995684c6a2d2b72295c3eb4169644411d2d5a/2023-Villa_Dufraine-48.jpg" data-mid="193294942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f1b390b96a2ab8aba433d9dceec995684c6a2d2b72295c3eb4169644411d2d5a/2023-Villa_Dufraine-48.jpg" /> https://kontesarah.cargo.site/Silice-AmorphE Mon, 22 Jan 2024 09:26:15 +0000 Sarah Konté https://kontesarah.cargo.site/Silice-AmorphE SILICE AMORPHE - Installation Performance - collaboration with Selma Stocker - Greatorex Street Space, London Whitechapel, UK, January 6th 2024.

Danced by Luella Rebbeck &amp; Selma Stocker. Choreographed by Selma Stocker. Silice AmorphE is an installation performance, using dance, video, sculpture and sound exploring the ever-changing state of materials. As molecules in motion, two bodies dance through changing states of matter. Via the medium of glass, like an enchanting mirror, reflections blur the lines between what's seen and unseen. Based on prayers written on the altar and left there as an offering to the Mirror-Hand, protective goddess of individuality, two bodies meet. Exploring the quest for identity in a timeless world, two bodies come together and seek to adapt to a new being in the world. The song of a mermaid beckons, guiding them into this new world. Between a voyage of initiation to a new land and into themselves, the bodies test themselves, look at each other and come together. Through the eyes of the other, an attempt to understand each other takes shape, and individualities become stronger together, in a shared sense of listening.

The installation was thought of as a circle of perception unfolding from the moment one closes one's eyes, then when an image is sketched and finally when a word comes to try to describe this sensation.It illustrates in a poetic way what we are likely to see when we close our eyes. On two white sheets moving according to the movement of the audience, the videos are projected. The projections extend beyond the white sheet to show beyond the projection fabric so that the video leaves the frame. Visitors are invited to take headphones with different channels to listen to the sound of each installation in this group show The video and sound installation was conceived from a sound composition realized in the Serres d'Auteuil on the basis of an electric signal emitted by a plant and played on a modular synthesizer. This recording was made possible during a workshop with the two Dutch artists Christiaan Zwanikken and Marc Marc. During this workshop we placed sensory sensors on plants to listen to their electrical signals and then modulate their signals on the modular synthesizer. I then decided to put these sensors on my eyes in order to play directly on the plant an electric signal according to the movement of my eyes and my contact with my hands on the plant. The plant had become an instrument playing between its own electric signal and mine. The videos represent a conversation between two abstract videos, a metaphor for what we see when we close our eyes, and a text written on the ground with sand: "WHAT DO YOU SEE". The text and the image play in concert, in a blue night light, with an alternation of temporality as if a conversation took place between these two languages. https://kontesarah.cargo.site/No-Body-Will-Surrender-2022 Wed, 25 Jan 2023 11:40:59 +0000 Sarah Konté https://kontesarah.cargo.site/No-Body-Will-Surrender-2022 No Body Will Surrender 2022&nbsp;SALA Los Angeles 845 South Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90014 <img width="841" height="595" width_o="841" height_o="595" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ae1b142e68be215cb0747ee69aee3acc61e935c986d2b8419120eba8235dff4/poster-sala.jpg" data-mid="165963497" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/841/i/7ae1b142e68be215cb0747ee69aee3acc61e935c986d2b8419120eba8235dff4/poster-sala.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1600" width_o="1200" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b8e1c13d4a1d12d8b3c2c780f4a08c7fcfce06edf326eec59bbac7bfd4061deb/PHOTO-2022-12-28-20-56-24.jpg" data-mid="165963558" border="0" data-scale="83" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b8e1c13d4a1d12d8b3c2c780f4a08c7fcfce06edf326eec59bbac7bfd4061deb/PHOTO-2022-12-28-20-56-24.jpg" /> NO BODY WILL SURRENDER (NBWS) bySarah Konté Images that oscillate in our memory, that clash, that observe each other and that decide to propose variations of the same story. The sound which is made just like the identity which is built by the acted memories and the re-created memories: by this action of the work of the imagination, the subject reveals to itself a potentiality, a capacity to test its own forces of imagination, it would even be a performative act of oneself to oneself. Memory of a body which is built by the traces of passages which it leaves with the liking of its peregrinations, it is thus well the trace of an alteration under the effect of a reaction: the dancing movement of the identity which is experimented by this game of the imagination. NBWS is then the interstice between the real memory and the imagined memory. How to tell a memory, a story?By the trace of the objects which remain to us. These objects which are like doors opening on a reconstituted memory. Perhaps this NBWS play is really just a waking dream that comes to play before our eyes, a dream in which our real memories and our reconstructed memories play in concert. Where does the alteration of the human being lie? By the passages: figurative characters, suggested, except for the teenager who comes to signal and mark their presence as a messenger of the affirmation of an identity quest.A flag sits behind them, the flag of adolescence. Poem in the videos : No body will surrenderWhere the stars are reflectedtraces of the past accompany usreminding us of the greatness of our ancestors.
