Exhibition
Vieilles coques & jeunes récifs
Ends in 3 months: March 16 → July 21, 2024
Athletes, as well as scientists and artists, are all focused on the body, with hopes pinned on its adaptability and resilience at a time of global transition. Science fiction conjures up unlikely mutations and envisages the survival of humanity in the most varied contexts. Bodies that transform, mirroring the way in which athletes can sometimes adapt their metabolism and physiognomy to achieve new feats. The limits and potentials of the body and of what passes through it inform the work of the artists (works from the Frac collection and guest artists) in the exhibition Vieilles coques & jeunes récifs, which is inevitably inhabited by performance.
The works on show at Les Réserves bear witness to dialogues that are forged with other entities (Tracey Moffatt), rituals that are performed to invoke them, notably through music and song (Robin Girod, Camilo Restrepo, Colin Self). Personal mythologies (Ibrahim Meïté Sikely) then emerge via alternative channels and networks of perception and discussion (Prune Phi) and, ultimately, co-creative devices that expand them (Nicolas Faubert & Mona Young-eun Kim).
Like a reversible bag, or two parts of the same non-linear story, the exhibition can be visited from the Plateau to the Reserves or vice versa, and visitors are invited to take the paths of reading and interpretation they wish, by reading, looking, listening, touching, sitting on what is available — in short, to experience what surrounds them in their own way.
