Collective—will present new works that reinvestigate the potential meanings of site and space through a variety of mediums, including new technologies.
Gaëlle Chotard (Paris), a former student of Annette Messager, uses sculpture, drawing, and film to construct a universe of strange and haunting power, her imagery suggesting organic forms from lymph nodes to rhizomes. Using thread, she builds delicate volumes balanced gracefully in space. For Cutlog, she has produced a set of suspended forms suggestive of wireframe renderings.
Lionel Scoccimaro (Marseille) designs and customizes sculptural objects inspired by American subcultures of the seventies and eighties, and especially by the aesthetics of skateboarding and surfing. Manufactured with absolute precision, Scoccimaro’s artefacts exalt in the kitsch and popular elements of the enduring creative ideas and styles that inspired them.
The A. collective (Montpellier) is interested in collaborative practice. The identity of each of its members is undisclosed, and its work is never attributed to any individual participant. The collective’s research interests include video games and computer models;normographes, the video it is presenting at Cutlog, is a kind of digital drawing animated by the viewer.
DN / Laetitia Delafontaine and Grégory Niel (Paris) experiment with representations of space and site. The duo works with a range of media, including cinematic and digital technologies. Their spare and stylish installations, objects, and images explore the subject in all its complexity, referencing the fictional, the critical, and the theoretical.
APERTO is an artist-run not-for-profit organization based in Montpellier, France. Its mission is to promote the work of emerging artists based in the South of France. Since 1997, Aperto has organized and curated solo and group exhibitions, commissioned site-specific artworks, and participated in other events nationally. It is now working internationally by exhibiting at art fairs. Aperto organizes up to six exhibitions per year and publishes catalogues, artists’ books, and other editions.
Aperto’s programs have included exhibitions and productions with more than 80 national and international artists including Alain Declercq, Mounir Fatmi, Kendell Geers, Zilvinas Kempinas, Jean-Luc Moulène, and Peter Watkins. Aperto also works in partnership with local organizations and institutions such as the Languedoc-Roussillon FRAC, the 009 Association, and the School of Fine Arts.
