Still. . . Life

About

Born in 1987, Julie Savoye lives and works in Paris. In 2010, she graduated from the Regional School of Fine Arts in Rouen with the congratulations of the jury. In 2012, she joined the association La Couleuvre then the association Jeune Création 2 years later. She exhibits regularly in Paris and its surroundings. Julie Savoye's work focuses on the sensitivity contained in geometry. She produces series on different media and seeks to highlight all possible line movements literally and figuratively through paintings, volumes, drawings and videos.

For the exhibition Still ... Life, the choice fell on a set of drawings, editions and paintings on wood made between 2014 and 2018. The video Still Life, carried out in 2011, brings together the corpus around the orthonormed trait and sensible trait.

Laurent Fiévet lives and works in Paris. He creates montages and video installations using images mainly extracted from the great classics of cinema, which he confronts with each other, reworking rhythmically and re-deploying within his exhibitions. Organized into thematic series, his works offer different types of reflections on the Image and its modes of perception. They are inherently ambivalent and lend themselves to various interpretive registers, and they include many aspects of historical, sociological and political criticism that, while moving our gaze on the everyday, question the dysfunctions of our individual and collective memory.

The Whistle (2012-2015) and New Whistle (2017-2018) series bring together more than one hundred and twenty video loops. They constitute so many variations around a common motif, taken from the cinematographic pantheon of the twentieth and twenty-first century: a woman in the presence of a bird in a cage. While the works, which can be shown individually or in groups, address the issues of gender and the representation of the feminine in contemporary society, they also raise those of the spectator's gaze and his attitude towards the work of art. . Still ... Life brings together four of them that have remained unpublished until now.

Rohwajeong , formed by Yun-hee Noh (Seoul, 1981) and Hyeon-seok Jeong (Seoul, 1981), is a duo of visual artists from Seoul, South Korea. More than a duo, it is a unique and inseparable being. Their work observes and emphasizes relationships that evolve over time and space and strives to capture them effectively. In particular, they try to probe human relations and dissect the conflicts that arise between individuals. It is an attempt to move away from subjective thought and violent gazes that interpret all the phenomena around with laziness and a priori. As a result, a situation or state can sometimes lead to different interpretations of relationships. The duo will participate in the Gwangju Biennale 2019 in Korea.

The word still life is like woven white cotton thread on a mosquito net. It tells a different story depending on whether it is day or night, and between two different hours. The day is the story of a person beyond the mosquito net, but the night without light is the story of you who are looking at this word.

Born in 1988, Ronan Le Creurer lives and works in Paris. He graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Angers in 2012. He then joined for one year the cooperative and research program of the ESACM, Clermont-Ferrand and is artist in residence at the CAC of the synagogue of Delme in 2015. He then created the L'Agence exhibition space in Paris.

Since then he joined the collective workshops / Artist-run space ChezKit in Pantin. In 2018 he took part in the 63rd Montrouge Salon, where he received a production grant from the Fondation Françoise for Contemporary Art.

Marie Cozette, director of CRAC OCCITANIE says that "Ronan Le Creurer practices sculpture as a science of assembly: the secret mechanics that preside over the development of his works testify to this art of collage and editing where the elective affinities between images, objects, stories, gestures and techniques distil a latent disorder ".

Born in Tehran in 1985 and after studying at Azad University in Tehran, Zohreh Zavarehdecided to continue her education in France. Sharing her time now between France and Iran, she is currently resident at the Grand Large workshops in Décines-Charpieux (ADERA workshops). What she pursues through installations, drawings, videos and sculptures is the invisible. Hence the constant use of the word and its game: to have a chance to seize things in their fragility. Sowing the silence of question marks, the floating, the indecision that is their - between being this and not being - can then freely happen.

The sound installation, called Nâkojâ, (which is translated into French as non-where, non-place) questions the relationship between a thing and its world, the background from which it is detached, through a fictional story. The question remains unanswered and runs in a loop.

Timothée Chalazonitis was born in 1989, in Paris. He studied History of Art and Archeology, then graduated from the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris and the National School of Fine Arts Paris. He is laureate of the Pierre Gautier-Delaye Prize (Cité des Arts), in 2017, he participates in collective exhibitions at the Ricard Foundation, at the Georges Pompidou Center, at the Episodique Gallery, in Mons, then European Capital of Culture, at the Spinola Banna per Arte Foundation, Vis-Vis Contemporary Art Festival in Paris, Hippocrene Foundation (Villa Mallet-Stevens), Bazaar Compatible Program in Shanghai, & c.

He is interested in the traces left by the man and his desire to remember stories. His practice is often linked to the letter, to the act of writing more precisely, as a necessity to interact with a space, an architecture and the townspeople. The wandering in the public space is very present in his work. It is at this moment that Timothée Chalazonitis analyzes and harvests involuntary art (Gilles Clément) and that he operates like an urban archaeologist. It captures the poetry of a moment, a tension, an exchange that will be triggers of a plastic creation.

Born in Dieppe in 1990, Thomas Wattebled lives and works in Orléans. Graduate of a master's degree in theory and artistic practice at the University of Amiens and a DNSEP at the Ecole des Beaux Arts D'Angers, his work has been exhibited in several group exhibitions, at the L Arts Center. ONDE (Vélizy), Vasistas Gallery (Montpellier) and Cac Meymac. He also participated in the Montrouge Salon 2018.

Thomas Wattebled seizes the emblems of our society of the sport and the leisure to value the unproductive gestures, the figure of the loser and the forms in rest. Through drawings, installations, videos, the artist focuses on details, problematizes objects, gestures, wobbly things that we do not notice. It fills the cracks, not without humor, of a society where the word that reigns supreme is PERFORMANCE .
