Gilbert Lascault publishes books aesthetics (The monster in Western Art, 1973; Figurées, disfigured / Small vocabulary of femininity represented, 1977; Writings on the visible timid, 1979; Faire and undo, 1985, etc.). monographs (Malaval, Ernst Bacon, Boltanski, Boteero, Grau-Garriga, Louis Pons, etc.). books of fiction (Little tetralogy of fallacious, Gens regular Sore-les-Sept-Gardens, Hell buffoons, and so on. .). In particular he published comments fictional in collaboration with artists.
As part of the symposium on the assembly he talked about the work of Christian Jaccard. The work of the latter located in the concerns similar to those of the support surface which he has not done. Nevertheless, exhibitions devoted to Supports / Surfaces sometimes associated Christian Jaccard. Starting from 1971, Christian Jaccard uses "tools" string, twine, knots. These tools replace the brush to produce traces on the canvas.

Construction and assembly: the sculpture in question.
She questions the concept of assembly by presenting works that are not. Unlike assemblages surreal juxtapositions that are one can imagine assemblies which have no juxtaposition. The objects interact with other objects. For example, an object that is placed relief by the artist Rosco on the facade of the Museum of Modern Art who maintain a relationship with his environment.

Wim Delvoye making all kinds of reflections by the juxtaposition of the universe and counter-employment It is part of a generation of artists that have marked Flemish contemporary art tattooing Known for his pigs and his firm Cloaca. His work on the art cathedrals is also one of its provocations. On windows, which usually spiritual scenes he introduced such provocations in sexual characteristics. The stained glass windows are assemblies that have multiple images simultaneously. He opposes the pure and impure. It is in line with the philosophy of George Battle between spirituality and materialism low.

She questions the work of Bruno Peinado which has been engaged in an extensive recycling company signs from our contemporary world by questioning our relationship with them. In this logic of the fragment, the artist discusses these images in restoring their complexity. The installation is an incentive for decryption and study the relationships between objects.

Indeed, the term "structure" is, since their appearance, the subject of multiple interpretations and uses very diverse. The structuralism as presented Lévis-Strass influence the thinking of assemblage art.

International Symposium Paris

Assembler is in the first place unite together, joining several elements among them a definitive or otherwise - to mount / unmount - procedure requiring gestures and techniques that depend intrinsically link-binding, this material which gives substance to assembly. These nails, bolts, adhesives, masonry, scotches and other tape-they have a subordinate function? We can not second explore the field of the assembly without crossing the craft. How anthropology, through the writings of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Andrew Leroi-Gourhan, she influenced the perception of this concept? Du status ragpicker artist-as Charles Baudelaire described, the artist would have happened to "handyman and scholar? We must also question the function is the collection of items found (natural and / or artificial), but also scrap artifacts. What type of assembly? Thinking in terms of the act of uniform construction and hybridization, the distinction between these two relationships is still legitimate? Shares for reuse, recycling, ownership, mixing and by extension diversion directly linked to the practice of the assembly can not have the same coverage today that in the fifties.
Finally, the workshop - the handyman provided that the artist - is it not, during the sixties, spent on site or at another level, that of the architectural dimension? What relation to space, in place - that is lacking because qu'envahie? As for the aesthetics of ruin often engendered, she provided for assembling an act of anti-construction, or do we need to see another form of construction? In rhizome?



The symposium aims to explore and develop new thoughts on the art of assembly and more broadly to emphasize, even invaluable filiations, the points of convergence or divergence between the assembly, the environment and installation

Symposium art assemblage

Presentation of Return symposium on the art of assemblage of 28 and 29 March 2008

Text Stéphanie Jamet-Chavigny

At the initiative of Françoise Levaillant , director of research in art history at the CNRS, co-head of the ERCO within the Centre André Chastel (UMR 8150), and directed by Stephanie Jamet - Chavigny, a corresponding member of the ERCO, the symposium Back on the art of assembly was held on 28 and 29 March 2008 Vasari room to INHA. It was to question the concept of assembly from exposure founder The Art of Assemblage, organized by William C. SEITZ the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1961 who proposed the first genealogy. The project was to study the role held by the assembly in the expanded field of art, to identify principles and also to question posterity at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Filiation collage-assembly does it not to be reconsidered in view of a number of critical writings and events which have since renewed the approach? Thinking in terms of the act of construction or homogeneous hybridization, the distinction between these two affiliations is still legitimate? The shares of reuse, recycling, ownership, mixing and by extension diversion directly linked to the practice of the assembly are not the same today as in the sixties. The plurality of contributions solicited researchers, from universities, art schools and museums, allowed to cross approaches used both to the history of art, literature, sociology and anthropology.

Antoinette Romain Le Normand, executive director of the INHA, introducing the two-day search, has put all thoughts under the aegis of Augustus RODIN, echoing the dialectic "fragmentation / assembly" which was analysed in the exhibition The body pieces at the Museum d'Orsay in 1990 and which she had just contributed.
The first session of the symposium was chaired by Françoise Levaillant who recalled having achieved with a team of students in May 1976, the exhibition "Assemblage (s)" MNAM (Palais de Tokyo), from Head Raoul HAUSSMANN, and in connection with a course on another form of dialectics, "carved subject / object," "objects" DADA the compositions of objects Erik DIETMAN through boxes of electrified BRYEN . The introduction of Stephanie Jamet-Chavigny, "Another look at the critical reception of the exhibition The Art of Assemblage", analysed the choice of the term assembly for title of the exhibition New York through the study of archives of MoMA and the Getty Foundation. S. Jamet-Chavigny raised the question of its influence and its impact. Two tracks appeared reading, to understand and consider a different method outlined by Seitz: on the one hand, the one proposed by Allan KAPROW in Blend, Environments and Happenings started in 1960 and published in 1966 and, secondly, that of Leo Steinberg in his essay "The Return of Rodin wrote in 1962 (but published in 1972). As a result a questioning of the modernist conception of Clement Greenberg and an opening on an understanding of the word assembly beyond the question of the object, in a non-artistic, social, even political. Thus, the mythical figure of Western handyman what Robinson Crusoe, has guided reflection initiator of this symposium precisely because it was itself subject to a deep-reading during the twentieth century and in particular in the 1960 l 'Oeuvre Michel TOURNIER Friday or Limbo Pacific. The first day was therefore turned to issues of the art of assembling the heart of the 1960 highlighting the key assumptions raised by the efforts of artists close to the New Realists, Fluxus or the Happening.
