Photography, film, painting, sculpture, installation and site-specific intervention: although they are based on a variety of media and techniques, the works of the six artists brought together in the exhibition L’Irrésolue, presented from 26th January to 25th June 2023 at Le Plateau and curated by Anne-Lou Vicente, share an appetite for mystery, secrecy, the uncertain and the invisible as much as the unspeakable. They form the framework of a non-linear, fragmented or even suspended narrative, offering a plural, open and changing interpretation.

Simultaneously combining the effects of surface (exterior) and content (interior), transparency and opacity, the spaces, objects and bodies they represent are charged with an enigmatic and fictional potential that is enhanced by their troubled, ambiguous and inaccessible character, thus stirring up curiosity and the desire to know/see.

Most often pre-existing, found, recovered before being moved, modified and arranged, the constituent elements conjure up a familiar reality tinged with strangeness and allow us to glimpse, through projection, something below the surface of the exhibition as well as the consciousness and memory.

Overlapping, spreading out, effacing, montage, stacking, layering, juxtaposition, opening, incrustation, infiltration, etc. In a manner that is both visible and invisible, the gestures in question suggest notions of seriality, reproduction and repetition, fragmentation and lack, while at the same time translating the logics at work here of mise en abîme, stratification, (dis)simulation and back-and-forth —  across spaces and times, the spectrum of ages as well as colours —  participating in a certain fantastic and cosmetic depth. In an ambient chiaroscuro, between activity and vigil, an intermediate and unstable state unfolds and reveals its transforming and emancipating power.

Are we dealing with an enigma, a person, an investigation, an image, an equation or a simple question? From signs to clues, from reflections to connections, from glimmers to air flows, L’Irrésolue outlines the vague contours of an elusive figure who, however reserved and pensive, resists.

Curator : Anne-Lou Vicente

  • Opening Wednesday, January 25, 2023 6 PM → 9 PM

    Photography, film, painting, sculpture, installation and site-specific intervention: although they are based on a variety of media and techniques, the works of the six artists brought together in the exhibition L’Irrésolue, presented from 26th January to 23rd April 2023 at Le Plateau and curated by Anne-Lou Vicente, share an appetite for mystery, secrecy, the uncertain and the invisible as much as the unspeakable. They form the framework of a non-linear, fragmented or even suspended narrative, offering a plural, open and changing interpretation.

  • EXPOSURE — Finissage sonore Closing Friday, June 23, 2023 at 8 PM

    Exhibition curator Anne-Lou Vicente and artist Camille Brée invite sound artists Oï les Ox, Detente and Vina Konda.

    After five months on show, L’Irrésolue ends in a blur of strange, familiar sounds inhabited by reminiscences, emotions and other affects linked to both intimate and collective memory. The audience is exposed to a mixture of blistering riffs, striking beats, heady loops and wisps of glowing smoke. A crescendo of revelation under the sign of incandescence, of a latent conflagration.
