Les Explorations Modernes

Il explore, il défriche et s'affiche. Il s'envole et se brûle les ailes ; retombe à plat face à la réalité, se relève et recommence. C'est un cycle perpétuel.

artiste > Olafur Eliasson, Movement microscope, 2011

The studio Olafur Eliasson consists of a team of about 45 people, from craftsmen and specialised technicians, to architects, artists, archivists and art historians, cooks, and administrators. They work with Eliasson to experiment, develop, produce, and install artworks, projects, and exhibitions, as well as archiving, communicating, and contextualising his work. Additional to the artworks realised in-house, Eliasson and his studio contract structural engineers and other specialists, and collaborate with curators, cultural practitioners, and scientists. Located in the same building as the studio, the Institut für Raumexperimente (Institute for Spatial Experiments), founded by Olafur Eliasson in 2009, investigates new approaches to arts education on a university level.

cafe scene from Godard ‘s 2 ou 3 choses que je sais d’elle (1967).

” Au départ de mon film ‘Deux ou trois choses que je sais d’elle’ (à ce propos je vous précise que, elle, ce n’est pas Marina Vlady, mais la ville de Paris) il y a une enquête parue dans le Nouvel Observateur. Or, cette enquête rejoignait l’une de mes idées les plus enracinées. L’idée que pour vivre dans la société parisienne d’aujourd’hui, on est forcé, à quelque niveau que ce soit, à quelque échelon que ce soit, de se prostituer d’une manière ou d’une autre…”. Jean-Luc Godard.

photographe > Kipp Wettstein

Kipp Wettstein makes his own large format cameras as part of what he calls The Camera Project. The cameras are designed to suit Kipp’s “operational tendencies for the singular application of mobility”, and make a “simple, elegant and accurate method to connect the lens and film planes”. His latest, called the 8×10 Carbon/Aluminum, is a portable, wide-angle camera using a molded carbon fiber cone attached to a body plate machined from a block of aircraft aluminum. The lens is a Schneider 165mm Super Angulon.

Andy Warhol Empire(1964). it’s showing just the empire state building at night for 8 hours and 5 minutes, you didn’t miss much if you have missed the remaining 8 hours. Empire is literally one continuous shot of New York’s Empire State Building. Watching the same shot (which Warhol filmed on July 25 and 26, 1964 from the 42nd floor of the Time Life Building) the film is a test for the audience who sees how long they can sit and watch the same image for a long period of time. The only rewards for patience come from the occasional flicker of the lights on the building or Warhol’s reflection in the glass as he changes the reel on the camera.
