“La pensée corps“ Alexandra Bircken & Lutz Huelleà la Fondation Pernod Ricard, Parisdu 15 novembre 2022 au 28 janvier 2023Interview de Claire Le Restif, commissaire de l'exposition, par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 14 novembre 2022, durée 13'09.© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2022/11/18/3350_la-pensee-corps_fondation-pernod-ricard/Curatrice de l'exposition : Claire Le RestifAvec Alexandra Bircken & Lutz Huelle et la contribution de Wolfgang TillmansL'exposition La pensée corps met en relation le travail d'Alexandra Bircken et de Lutz Huelle, tous deux liés aux questions d'identité, d'intimité, de perméabilité et de vulnérabilité de l'être humain. Ce qui les lie, c'est un style aux formes tour à tour fracturées et assemblées, découpées et suturées, et une longue histoire d'amitié.Cette exposition n'a pas pour enjeu les relations entre l'art et la mode, même si elles apparaissent naturellement. L'accent est mis sur les mécanismes, les gestes, la pensée du corps contemporain et l'expérience que nous en avons en tant qu'être humain. Tous deux sectionnent, fractionnent des objets et des vêtements comme autant de modèles ajustables à de nouvelles manières de vivre, de sentir et de se représenter.Cette relation essentielle au corps et aux matériaux s'est affirmée pour Bircken et Huelle lors de leurs études au Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design de Londres dans les années 1990. Là, il et elle ont pu projeter leurs idées sur le corps-support. Pendant leur période d'apprentissage dans cette école prestigieuse, des individualités comme John Galliano, Alexander McQueen ou Hussein Chalayan étaient régulièrement invitées à intervenir. Cette période les a amené·es à définir leur identité propre en se ré-inventant comme on désire le faire à 20 ans. C'est aussi leur goût pour la musique, Culture Club et Boy George entre autres personnalités queer, qui les a incité·es à choisir Londres.Amis depuis l'adolescence, ils ont très tôt formé une famille élective avec un troisième complice, le photographe allemand Wolfgang Tillmans, auteur de portraits cultes de Bircken et Huelle. Témoin objectif de toute une génération, il a bousculé avec vigueur les a priori, contribuant à l'émergence d'une certaine vérité sur la jeunesse, depuis le milieu des années 1990 jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Tous les trois traduisent leur époque, politiquement et sociologiquement et bousculent les archétypes. Pour La pensée corps, Wolfgang Tillmans expose un chapitre qu'il a réalisé pour la revue Pop Magazine (2019-2020) dédié à Lutz Huelle. Cet élément est très précieux car il permet d'approcher foule de détails sur le travail de Huelle, tout en étant un témoin de la relation du trio à travers les années.Alexandra Bircken a d'abord créé sa propre marque Faridi, à une époque où Martin Margiela et Comme des Garçons déconstruisaient le vêtement. C'est en cousant, en tricotant, en fabriquant des objets non fonctionnels, pour elle-même, qu'elle a progressivement rejoint le territoire de l'art. Jörn Bötnagel et Yvonne Quirmbach, fondateur·rices de la galerie BQ à Cologne, aujourd'hui basée à Berlin, observaient assidûment leur voisine installée dans un atelier mitoyen de la galerie. Attentif·ves à cette liberté avec laquelle l'artiste autodidacte explorait précisément les possibles, iels lui proposent sa première exposition à la galerie en 2004.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

At the beginning of the 1990s, London's fashion scene was sleepy and small. But not for long: Following the groundbreaking success of young British designer John Galliano at Givenchy in the 1980s, other young graduates of the London art school Central Saint Martins began to push the fashion world's boundaries. Hussein Chalayan, Alexander McQueen, and Stella McCartney garnered attention with their provocative presentations, complex image-making, and challenges to established fashion rules, all on very limited budgets—at least at the beginning. Soon the Paris fashion establishment woke up to – and adopted – this new generation of fashion thinkers whose creativity had been forged in the post-punk cultural stew of 90s London.  Interviews in order of appearance: Mark Holgate, Anya Hindmarch, John Galliano, Hussein Chalayan, Camilla Nickerson, Laird Borelli-Persson, Karen Elson, Andrew Bolton, Shaun Leane, Jenny Capitain, Tonne Goodman, Stella McCartney.  For more on this week's episode and to access additional Vogue content, make sure to visit vogue.com/podcast.

Understandably so, as he runs London’s most successful and internationally renowned dance theatre – Sadler's Wells.  In our conversation, we discuss communicating ideas through movement, the rock-concert-like creations from Hofesh Schechter and Akram Khan’s tender stories of belonging and identity as well as Sadler's Wells collaborations with creatives such as sculptor Antony Gormley, fashion designer Hussein Chalayan, musician Jamie XX, and artist Olafur Eliasson.   Presented and produced by Justyna Green Music by James Green

Shobana Jeyasingh is a British choreographer. Born in Chennai, she grew up studying the classical Indian dance form bharatanatyam. She launched her own contemporary dance company in 1988. Past works have explored science, classical painting and urban architecture, working with composers, mathematicians and filmmakers. In 2015 she created a piece, commissioned by the Royal Ballet, that directly challenged the stereotype of the exotic Indian dancer. For Only Artists she meets Hussein Chalayan at the Place Theatre, the home of the London Contemporary Dance School. Hussein Chalayan has twice won the Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards, and was awarded the MBE in 2006. He was born in Cyprus and moved to Britain with his family when he was 8. From his first graduation collection which he left to decompose buried in a garden, to a coffee table which transforms into a skirt and remote-control dresses, Chalayan is known for his highly creative designs, worn by the likes of Bjork and Lady Gaga. He has made films, had his work shown in galleries and directed and designed a dance piece, Gravity Fatigue, at Sadler's Wells Theatre. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Damien Jalet is a freelance choreographer and performer from Belgium. Starting in theatre, Damien was originally interested in becoming a director, until he discovered dance. “What I was looking for in theatre, didn’t have anything to do with words, it was much more about the physical presence and how the body could convey” After finding dance Damien became obsessed, “it became an overwhelming obsession”. He explained, “it makes you see the world differently”. Damien went on to work with a range of companies as both a dancer and choreographer including with Marina Abramovic, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui/Eastman, Icelandic Dance Company, Chunky Move, Sasha Waltz and Guests, Les ballets C. de la B, Akram Khan and Scottish Dance Theatre. Damien’s work frequently explores myths, religions, and rituals and how dance can capture some of these traditions: “the body is the conveyor”. His work is diverse and has won a number of significant Awards. Babel(words) won two Olivier awards in 2011 for Best New Dance Production and Outstanding Achievement in Dance for the set design of Antony Gormley. Babel (Words) also won a prix Benois de la danse for best choreography at Bolshoi, Moscow. Damien is well known for his collaborative approach to dance, connecting dance to a range of other artistic disciplines. He has worked with visual artists Antony Gormley, Nawa Kohei, fashion makers Jean-Paul Lespagnard, Hussein Chalayan, Riccardo Tisci and Bernhard Willhelm and with musicians including Loscil, Olof Arnalds and Florence + the Machine. In this interview, we talk about his collaboration with Japanese visual artist Kohei Nawa. Damien created the work Vessel with Kohei Nawa.

Alison Bancroft has written a book with a refreshingly straightforward title: Fashion and Psychoanalysis: Styling the Self (I. B. Tauris, 2012). One immediately suspects that it reflects the author's two most enduring obsessions and this suspicion is confirmed within the first quarter of our interview. Yet, as it turns out, both “psychoanalysis” and “fashion” demand qualification.By “fashion” Bancroft means adornment that assumes an innovative form – creativity applied to the surface of the body.The psychoanalysis she has in mind is Lacanian theory.If, then, you are expecting a condemnation of fashion as a frivolous pursuit or a Kleinian explanation for shifting hemlines and anorexic models, Bancroft will not satisfy. But if you are curious about what fashion as art and corporeal style might express about fundamental Freudian and Lacanian concepts like identification, femininity, and the unconscious, you will be delighted and edified.Readings of fashion and its sociocultural resonances teach us a great deal about the delimitation and radical questioning of the twentieth-century human subject.  By bringing fashion into dialogue with the Lacanian notions of object a, the sinthome, desire, and jouissance, Bancroft unearths its disruptive potential: the capacity of fashion — like that of literature, painting and psychoanalysis — to give fleeting glimpses into unconscious truths and the feminine abyss of subjectivity. The main body of Fashion and Psychoanalysis consists of four chapters that are discrete psychoanalytic explorations of fashion-as-protest, moving chronologically through Lacan's teaching and spotlighting some of its key concepts.The first chapter considers the fashion photography of Nick Knight, whose presentations of fragmented, fractured bodies confound imagined ego boundaries and invite hysteric identifications from viewers.The second chapter discusses the work of the two most celebrated enfants terribles of 2000s fashion: John Galliano (formerly head designer at Dior) and Alexander McQueen.Bancroft analyzes a few of their best-known collections in order to demonstrate couture's function as object a, driving desire and signaling feminine jouissance.Chapter 3 is about the courageous performance artist and fashion icon Leigh Bowery.Bancroft argues that his self-abjection and simultaneous embodiment of feminine and masculine positions prompted a painful pleasure in his audience – a transgressive jouissance brought out by masculinity's violent destabilization.The final chapter investigates the similarities between Hussein Chalayan's highly conceptual designs and Lacan's sinthome.Is fashion, like the sinthome, a blurring of language and corporeality, the collapse of the Symbolic into feminine logic, the apex of aesthetic self-invention?Listen in and find out!

Paco Rabanne är ett modemärke som återigen har kommit i ropet. Den framsynta designen från 1960-talet har dammats av och getts nytt liv genom samtida moderna material och en ny designer - den indiske modeskaparen Manish Arora. Märket har fått både modevärlden och Lady Gaga att gå ner i brygga av glädje. I veckans program berättar vi inte bara om märket, utan även om mannen Paco Rabanne (1934-) som kallats för futurist, mystiker, modeskapare och domedagsprofet - och som säger sig ha levt i över 70 000 år. Man kan lugnt påstå att Paco Rabanne inte är som andra modeskapare. Han föddes som Francisco Rabaneda Cuervo i San Sebastian i Spanien, men valde 1965 att kalla sig för ”Paco Rabanne” då namnet innehåller elva bokstäver, vilket han anser vara ett lyckosamt nummer. Och det kanske har hjälpt honom, vem vet? Sedan förra året kan han i alla fall kalla sig för ”Officer av Hederslegionen”, vilket är Frankrikes förnämligaste utmärkelse som delas ut till både civila och militärer som visat ” tapperhet och ärlig tjänst till landet”. Paco Rabanne slog igenom med buller och bång 1966 då han visade sin första klädkollektion kallad för ”12 obärbara klänningar i samtida material”. De var gjorda av remsor och brickor av plast och metall som hölls ihop med små ringar av stål. Han betraktade kläder på ett nytt sätt och valde medvetet material som inte användes inom mode. ”Jag bryr mig inte om huruvida någon kan bära dem eller inte, de representerar ett budskap”. Inspirerad av Frankrikes nationalhelgon Jeanne d'Arc ville han skapa en sorts rustning för 60-talets nya och frigjorda kvinna. Kläderna fick Coco Chanel att säga: ”han är ingen modeskapare, han är en stålarbetare”. Men många applåderade också hans innovativa sätt använda sig av tänger stället för nålar, och plast och metall istället för tyg. Konstsamlaren Peggy Guggenheim köpte hans plagg. Det gjorde också popstjärnor som Françoise Hardy. Konstnären Salvador Dali utnämnde honom till ”det andra geni Spanien producerat”. Och idag kan man bara konstatera att han var en föregångare, och banbrytare, till samtida designer, som bland annat den hyllade Hussein Chalayan. Nu har märket fått en nytändning genom den indiske designern Manish Arora som i Paris visade sin debutkollektion (vår och sommar 2012). Han är stor stjärna i Indien där han sedan 1997 driver sitt eget märke, baserat i New Delhi. Han blir ofta kallad för ”Indiens svar på John Galliano” tack vare sin skicklighet och förkärlek till färg och rikliga utsmyckningar.  Minimalism är inte hans grej. Han bidrar snarare med en sorts lekfullhet till modet, och till märket Paco Rabanne. Och det verkar vara en efterlängtad egenskap i branschen. Om det pratar vi mer om i programmet. 1969 lanserade Paco Rabanne sin första parfym Calandre, och några år senare kom han med Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, vilken anses vara en banbrytare inom herrdofter. Den är dessutom en riktig storsäljare. Posterpojke för märkets kommande doft för både dam och herr är – Iggy Pop, vilket har lett till många skratt. Men hur är det egentligen med humor och mode, går det ihop? Det tycker inte Claes Britton, som är författare och creative director. Det berättar han mer om i programmet. Vi får även möta Mette Prawitz, som är jämngammal med Paco Rabanne och arbetar i hans anda. Hon brukar ibland kallas för skulptör eftersom hennes plagg befinner sig på gränsen mellan mode och konst och oftare visas på gallerier än på catwalken. I våras visades hennes klädkonst i Stockholm. I början av nästa år är det dags för en ny utställning på Östergötlands länsmuseum i Linköping. Där kan man då se hennes skulpturala klädesplagg tillverkade av material som – blixtlås, cykelkedjor, skurtrasor, myggnät och plastfodral. Vi har också pratat med textilföretaget Fav Fabrics i Borås, som ligger i framkant när det gäller textilier. Veckans gäst är Cia Jansson, modechef på Elle.
