Quand le discours se fait geste – Regards croisés sur la conférence-performance

Thursday 28 June 2018 at 7 pm

Artist lecture, dance-lecture, narrative performance, performed reading—in recent years, there has been no shortage of terms to designate the new body-presence regimes in contemporary art, regimes developed in close relationship with language and its various forms of exhibition.

This book is an attempt to critically explore this transdisciplinary, hybrid theme, at a historical moment marked just as much by “storytelling”, “post-truth” and “alternative facts” as by art’s increasingly pervasive involvement in the knowledge market. How are we to understand the place that performativity occupies within contemporary art’s widened discursive space? What are the new relationships and configurations that this space generates between bodies and language, between practice and theory? To what extent can one describe a gesture that, though made up of words, seems to resist speech?

 

With contributions by: Anaël Lejeune, Vassilis Salpistis, Matthieu Saladin, Gilles Amalvi, Jean-Philippe Antoine, Vangelis Athanassopoulos, Anne Creissels, Guillaume Désanges and Éric Valette.
