Réouverture du Treize — Entretien Dédié à la création émergente, le Treize propose les projets de plusieurs structures et commissaires-critiques. Rencontre avec ce jeune collectif, à l'occasion de la réouverture du lieu.

What a strange thing to own a concept, a gesture, and to see its consequences slip away from our very hands.

Then, sometimes, I tell myself that both the works of art and the exhibitions should appear without decisions; then, moreover, without ideas, should come up, with the evidence of leaves that grow up from a tree, with their own intelligence, with the necessity to inscribe themselves in a cycle, but without intentions.

Because, as Baudrillard wrote, appearances are immortal, invulnerable to the meaning or of non-meaning itself.

I have got to gather a few thoughts about the context though, and to say again that art is a matter of imitation, often an imitation of art itself, for better or for worse; and that it carries illusions, their correlative disenchantments, but also, of course, seduction.
