Takahashi sharpens the curiosity of the listeners by offering them up a space for their own associations. The title here gives the mind a clue what the ear might not detect: the squeaking and chirping sounds are created with movement—a dance, so to speak, of wet fingers on a mirror.

Une pièce proposée par Samon Takahashi réalisée en 2016.

A flock of rotations est un décompte à rebours, une horloge élastique, un modèle du temps, de son extension et de sa rétraction. La ‘structure formule’ répond à la proposition suivante : N2 = 2∑-N

Soit, chaque entier naturel au carré est égal à la somme de tous les nombres qui le composent multipliée par 2 moins lui-même.
Ex : 102= 100
soit 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55
55 x 2 = 110
110 - 10 = 100
soit 102= 2 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10) -10

La formule est ici appliquée à la division conventionnelle du temps, en partant de la division de la minute en 60 secondes et en plaçant chaque seconde (énoncée vocalement) après la durée effective du temps qu’elle représente et ce jusqu’à 60 puis retour à 1 (soit 1+2+3+4+5+6+7…57+58+59+60+59+58+57….+7+6+5+4+3+2+1), le total de tous les temps intermédiaire est égal à 3600 secondes, soit 1 heure précise.

Le temps s’étire, se contracte, se rétracte, élastique, mais ne rompt pas.

In the spirit of La Bohème and following the tradition of Kafeneio talks, A Conversation with Athens is an intend to organize a new series of meetings gathering voices of the local art scene in Athens.

The conversations are held in English and host by Florent Frizet & Eric Stephany, two french artists currently living in Athens.

locus athens, a nomadic non-profit arts organization, was originally formed in 2004 by Maria-Thalia Carras and Sophia Tournikiotis, with the aim of exploring the juncture between public space in Athens and contemporary art. Commissioning artists to produce new works based on in situ research, locus athens curated exhibitions, talks and screenings in various locations of the city as well as organizing educational programs and publishing a series of award winning children’s art books.

In 2012 the team was joined by Olga Hatzidaki, starting with a first collaboration which continued into a long-term partnership. Gradually also Sofia withdrew from active involvement from locus athens. Olga and Maria-Thalia developed projects in and about the public spaces of Athens, building on former experience and injecting locus athens’ program with new energy. They explored different curatorial models with projects that shifted in scale and size, collaborating with a wide range of institutions, reaching out to different communities and thinking further about the necessity of tackling contested issues.

In 2019, Maria-Thalia and Olga decided on a more radical shift in their approach, thinking of the ‘public’ less as architectural space but more as content and communities. They envisioned TAVROS, a mid-sized space in the eponymous area of Athens, as a new home for their arts projects, with a varied program of exhibitions, talks and community projects geared to responding to the social and political circumstances around us, giving voices to marginalized communities, and exploring notions of democracy, equality and ecology through dialogue listening and learning.

After the partition of India in 1947, the former British province of Punjab was split between East Punjab, in India, and West Punjab, in Pakistan. A new capital city was thus required to replace Lahore, which had become part of Pakistan. Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, dreamt to build a utopian new capital. Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret were commissioned to work on this new city’s master plan. Named after Hindu goddess Chandi: Chandigarh was born. Developed jointly by Le Corbusier and Jeanneret, the city of Chandigarh was despite all expectations, greatly shaped by the spirit of the latter. Jeanneret moved to India in 1951, where he remained for fifteen years.

This is the story of a wise man, the unsung hero of Chandigarh, working in the shadow of a master. A tribute to discretion and commitment. This is the story of Pierre Jeanneret in the light of those who have known him personally

With the participation of :

Sangeeta Bagga, director of Chandigarh College of architecture
Kiran joshi, Professor, Chandigarh College of architecture
Shivdatt Sharma, architect and collaborator of Le corbusier
Deepika Ghandi, Director at Le corbuiser center
Jeet Malhotra, Architect
Bagha Surinder, Architect and urbanist

The collection supports art that enables new ways of seeing, acquiring agency, and producing social affect; an art that uses language to challenge normative divisions, such as “visible / invisible”, giving priority to partial perspectives and multidimensionality.

The collection focuses the long-term support and acquisitions of artworks by I. Aballí, A. Barón, E; Barto, A. Cesarco, D. G. Cramer, Detanico & Lain, J. Discrit, H. Epaminonda, A. Froment, D.

An editorial project by French artist Jean-Baptiste Farkas conceived for Switch (on Paper).
In 12 episodes that can be read or listened to, each chronicle looks at the particularity of subtraction as an aspect of how art and society relate. At how less, emptiness or destruction create meaning in the contemporary world.

Episode 12 - Empty

Because subtraction never yields total emptiness.
Because emptiness is never really empty.
Because Éliane Radigue’s music dilates time and emptiness.

Eliane Radigue - Transamorem transmortem

Must we archive the things we should rather forget? Is archiving a way to make something disappear? In these strange conjectures is where LACA (Los Angeles Contemporary Archive) and The Salvage Art Institute in the USA try to respond, without necessarily finding answers.

Jean-Baptiste Farkas Jean-Baptiste Farkas’ artistic practice questions the notions and status of the artist, the artwork and the place of exhibition.

Episode 11 – Sold or Demolished (8’58)

What if we at least aimed to get rid of those that find no audience? This is the ironic premise offered by French artist Anne-Valerie Gasc, who vows to eliminate any of her artworks that cannot find collectors. And if we listened to her, our depots would be much emptier.
