Presentation
What is the role of the process of repetition in artistic creation? Why do we tend to repeat unpleasant experiences instead of avoiding them? This question arises both from an epistemological and psychological perspective in postmodern theories. We will try to gather a few key concepts that will allow us to put the concept of "repetition" in psychoanalysis into perspective, and possibly extract the conceptual resources for the analysis of artworks.
Biography
Yanling LUO is a PhD candidate in philosophy at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Her studies focus on both classical and contemporary Chinese philosophy, aiming to demonstrate how philosophers attempt to understand and interpret it from a metaphysical perspective. Her research is part of a broader issue concerning the intrinsic link between metaphysics and aesthetics, which questions the meaning of creativity and humanity. She has published several articles on aesthetics and metaphysics and translated the book Le Pouvoir esthétique (Baldine Saint Girons, Editions Manucius) into Chinese.

The Delayed Rain
ACOUSMATIC PIECE, Concept by Sikai LI
+
Free Improvisation
Guitar: Sikai Li
Voice: Dorian Campagne
Violin: Tiona Andrianaivomananjaona
The delayed rain symbolizes the natural delay between precipitation and its arrival in our lives, reflecting periods of waiting, doubt, and contemplation.
In collaboration with AZILIZ de VULPILLIERES, who wrote a text about rain, waiting, and delay, the creation process unfolded asynchronously.
The piece juxtaposes movement and stillness,
with the rain as a dynamic backdrop,
offering moments of tension, calm, and revelation.
VINCENT LEFEBVRE
Alongside his craft and creativity, Vincent explores the many facets of live performance.
In the 90s, he developed the character of Pétunia, a drag queen who criss-crossed the alternative Parisian nightlife scene.
Always in search of movement, he later explored contemporary dance with Aurélia Jarry, influenced by the legacy of Pina Bausch, as well as various forms of theater and corporal expression. Currently working with a performance group from the Belacqua workshops in the 19th arrondissement, led by Gauthier Ployette, he is deepening his quest for authenticity and reappropriation of the body.

ANA ISABEL FREITAS
A Portuguese artist living in Paris since 2015, Ana Isabel Freitas works on themes such as memory, traditions, places, and the people who inhabit them in both painting and documentary film. She paints "contemplative human landscapes" in which emotions are expressed through the colors and textures of the supports she chooses and manipulates with sewing and embroidery, to create textures, lines and subtle details that enrich the painting and fix the gaze. Every construction leaves a trace, every trace is construction.

RONI BEN ARI
Roni Ben Ari, Israel, is a multidisciplinary freelance photographer. As an artist, my works are characterized by long-term social studies in which the human landscape runs through them as the other thread. The subjects of my projects are international. In every country on the globe, you can meet an old man, the homeless, minorities, gypsies, prostitutes, 'wars, and more. For three years, I followed the Ethiopian community that failed to be absorbed in our country, and therefore, they chose to live in a "ghetto" close to themselves.

ABOUT
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same
Fatigue is not simply an isolated personal feeling. Over the past decades, fatigue has become a subject of research as a social, cultural, and scientific issue.
The modern Olympic Games show humanity's aspiration to infinitely surpass its own physical and emotional limits.
The idea of progress and performance was invented in sports from the 18th century on-wards. Since the second half of the 20th century, in a society where human performance is measured by work and excellency, everyone must face an overload and acceleration of doings for increased performance, resulting in constant physical fatigue.
Can the state of tirdness be fundemental to Beings?
The exhibition "Spring Out Of Tirdness" invites artists to question the fatigue and our individual or collective doings, as a shared human condition and to take a new look at what shapes it and what it generates.
From July 5th to September 5th, 2024
Mémoire de l'Avenir (MDA)/Humanities, Arts and Society (HAS)
will bring together artists from various horizens,
from all media and forme of expressions, to create a trans-disciplinary exhibition to explore the theme:
Spring Out of Tiredness
- Collective fatigue -
as a social, cultural, economic, political and individual
phenomenonin our societies.
