An exhition on XEROX AND COPY ART with artist works from 1968 to 2016

SOCIÉTÉ - Brussels

Du 7 septembre 2016 au 13 novembre 2016

Société (http://www.societe-d-electricite.com) a comme objectif de resituer les arts électroniques dans un monde de l'art toujours marqué par les ‘ismes’ du siècle dernier. Après toutes ces appellations -dont certaines sont très datées comme ‘art par ordinateur’, ’nouveaux médias’, "art logiciel" ou ‘web art’- l'arrivée récente du préfixe ‘post’ devant numérique pour qualifier les arts électroniques souligne la nécessité de se préoccuper de thèmes artistiques plutôt que des technologiques et de se recentrer sur ce qui rend ces pratiques vraiment uniques, soit leur esthétique.

 

Pour cette exposition XEROX, Société revient au monde analogue du Copy art, pour voir se confronter l’espace d’exposition bi-dimensionnel de l’imprimé avec l’espace tri-dimensionnel de lieu d’exposition. Des installations poétiques de Steven Pippin constituées de copieurs et de scanners, des machines entropiques de LAb[au], des flux d’informations sonores codées de Carsten Nicolai, aux rouleaux de résidus de Tiago Duarte, des colonnes ordonnées d’Hanne Darboven, à l’installation sculpturale d’une secrétariat dédié à l’art par fax de Dieudonné Cartier, … tous les projets participent à cet univers de l’encre et du papier.

 

L’intention est de réunir ici un ensemble d’œuvres dont la diversité des médiums développés par l’entreprise Xerox et son laboratoire, basés sur la reproductibilité technique et la multiplication, a pu générer une culture emblématique de la pratique très libre du ‘copy-past’, portée par des auteurs-éditeur. Expérimenté par des mouvements contestataires via le fanzin et artistiques avec le Copy art, à l'image du ‘Xerox Book’, ce medium a permis l'émergence de nouveaux formats, comme l'exposition en tant que catalogue reproductible, l’exploration de pensées conceptuelles et de nouvelles formes d'expression et surtout de diffusions plus accessibles. La photocopie a permis de créer une esthétique de l’analogue caractéristique, qui a su transgresser le médium lui-même, via un travail sur l’empreinte et l’effacement, avec ses défauts et sa texture granuleuse. Alors que l’ordinateur a été créé pour réduire l’entropie, certains artistes cherchent aujourd’hui à retrouver cette granularité à travers une pratique digitale, dans un monde d’hyper perfection, désaceptisé et toujours plus glossy. Ici nous nous penchons sur cette esthétique vivante et chaleureuse, avec des artistes en quête de porosité, du grain, souvent fascinés par une recherche conceptuelle et poétique sur les processus liés à la trace et à la perte, à une époque où le ‘copy-past’ est totalement intégré à notre quotidien informatique et multimedia.
