When Bacteria Rule the World: Notes Toward a Trans-species Architecture

Closing lecture in the Monstrum series coordinated by Emmanuelle Raoul-Duval and Jacques-Marie Ligot and organised by Ensa Paris-Est

Hosted by poet and teacher Jérôme Mauche for the past ten years, the ‘Poésie Plateforme’ (Poetry Platform) meetings provide an opportunity for unexpected dialogue. These invitations bring together an artist and an exchange partner from a wide range of practices - poets, novelists, and some of the most stimulating researchers - in close proximity to their approach and work, creating a back-and-forth between uses, temporalities and invention, through the prism of an art that questions the possible and builds worlds.

Duo show by Grichka Commaret and Tohé Commaret
Curator: Elsa Vettier

Entrusted to Pauline Ghersi and Liv Schulman, whose practices are identified in the video and object fields, this year's Paris Performance cycle will take place over three evenings from December 2024 to June 2025. With their singular sense of humor, and accompanied by amateur actors, the two artists have entitled their proposal “Le Réalisme”, as a playful exploration of the most fundamentally banal everyday life.

Entrusted since 2021 to critic and curator Jill Gasparina, the ‘Entretiens sur l'art’ (Interviews about Art) series, which for over 20 years has built up a formidable collection of artists' words, will from now on be looking closely at the materiality and conditions of emergence of the works of the guest artists.

Curated by Julien Bécourt, the input series celebrates the union between the visual and sound arts. From museum installations to underground activism, from Fluxus to noise music, it will invite a visual artist to evoke his or her relationship with the resonance and vibration of sound, and to question the sacred bond that the arts have always forged with music - be it minor or major, popular or learned.
