Laurence Neron-Bancel is interested in how memory works as a (re)constructive process that reproduces, filters, changes, and interprets the past and the present. As such, her collages are built through a process of exploring the notions of collection, recollection, juxtaposition and adaptation.She derives her inspiration from a deep desire to retain a sense of fantasy, youth and freedom within her life. She also loves to use materials which might otherwise easily be ignored or discarded. Born in France, Laurence has lived in the New York Area since 1996.Voluntary work as a docent at the Whitney Museum of American Art since 2008,  as well as at the Neuberger Museum of Art since 1999 has given her an extensive knowledge of art history that reinforces her own artistic choices. In addition to this academic training, Laurence’s professional experience organizing trips to museums, galleries, international art fairs and artists’ studios, keeps her in tune with the latest trends in New ...

http://db-artmag.com/en/87/feature/art-trends-tired-of-participating/ Zoë Gray Senior Curator, WIELS, centre for contemporary art, Brussels Photo: Manuel Versaen   Zoë Gray As Duchamp famously said, it is the viewer who makes the work of art. Our role as viewer is therefore of equal importance to the role of the artist. All works of art are thus participative, whether they require physical interaction or mental engagement. We have never been simply viewers. Koki Tanaka’s approach to participation is both open and generous. We can divide his recent work into two main tendencies: setting a group of people a common task and filming their way of working together; or proposing an open-ended, shared activity in which Tanaka also participates.  Walking with Dogs (Rennes, 2014) is one of these latter works and was aimed at dog-owners and their dogs, but was also open to those of us without canine companions. The artist told the gathered walkers and hounds where we were g...

And if today we’re experiencing a period of increasingly hectic, increasingly greedy hyper-capitalism, then of course the carousel of purported new sensations is turning faster and crazier in art too. There’s no doubt about that. But the interesting question is: Does art have a chance of countering this development with a new slowness, with more persistence, and with less “innovation”—which the works usually aren’t anyway. I remain pessimistic, as long as art is determined by a completely overheated and unequally distributed market. Artists who want to survive can’t get out of the turbo-spiral. And we viewers—in other words, consumers—are merely children of our age. Fortunately there are a few isolated...

  http://db-artmag.com/en/87/feature/art-trends-tired-of-participating/ Mareike Dittmer Editor Frieze d/e, Berlin Mareike Dittmer Asking people to participate in art calls to mind Bartleby’s mantra “I would prefer not to.” If exhibitions are events that incorporate viewers like festivals of emotions yet also demand complicity, social compatibility, and maximum attention—then distance is my preferred alternative. However, the principle of evanescence as performance interests me a lot, although it, too, relies on participation in a social context. Perhaps this is because, as opposed to ephemeral installations and situations, calculated participatory spectacles allow for coincidences and thus produce an ambiguity dedicated to the moment. Ultimately, though, the question of the pros and cons of participation—like so many other things—can only be assessed based on a concrete work and for that particular work.

http://db-artmag.com/en/87/feature/art-trends-tired-of-participating/   Simon Njami Curator, Author and Art Critic, Paris Photo: David Damoison Simon Njami We don’t have to participate. I don’t have to participate. Participating, for me, is a passive position. It means going with the crowd. It means being politically correct. The world is dying of this participation that leaves no room for controversy or discussion. When people say participate, they necessarily mean “doing something for the good cause.” Being part of the rightful. I don’t care. I want to be able to have my own opinion, even if it does not please the majority. I cherish the critical gaze that makes me different. What would be the world if everyone would be “participating”? All the totalitarian regimes were build on participation. When we read Orwell’s   1984 we see that those who don’t participate are immediately looked at as guilty, as troublemakers. I want to be a troublemaker. I want to have a...

Laurence Néron Bancel vous invite du 11 Juillet au 2 Aout 2015, à découvrir NEW SAINT HILAIRE, dans l'église du vieux Saint Hilaire,  lieu rebaptisé pour la durée de l'exposition. Habitant New York la plus grande partie de l'année et revenant dans son pays d’ origine plusieurs fois par an, l'artiste était venue découvrir en visiteuse les expositions les années précédentes. Séduite par l’ambiance et l’accueil, elle relève le challenge d 'y exposer à son tour. A chaque nouvelle exposition, Laurence adapte son travail selon le lieu et les relations humaines. Avec New Saint Hilaire, l'idée est de faire se rencontrer les deux  mondes dans lesquels elle évolue, inspirée par New York et attirée par la région du Limousin. Le lieu géographique, les habitants, le langage  ont nourri sa réflexion pour monter cette nouvelle exposition, installer les "happening” sorte de performance improvisée en fonction des rencontres, et faire écrire grâce à un atelier  de 3  jou...

http://db-artmag.com/en/87/feature/art-trends-tired-of-participating/ Nicolaus Schafhausen Curator, Kunsthalle Vienna © Kunsthalle Wien 2014, Photo: Sabine Hauswirth Nicolaus Schafhausen Current art should definitely not leave us alone. It has the potential to open up discourse, to inspire us, to jolt us. If the means for this are in events, it’s because art has to compete for viewers’ attention. Whether it’s masses of information in times of digital communication, sporting events, sociopolitical developments, or other branches of culture—contemporary art and its makers vie with countless other offers for consumer’ attention. Effective, ostentatious art products geared to participation not only draw a lot of visitors, but are also reported on often. So the crux of the issue is what is expected of art today. It should entertain and be fun. At the same time, however, art can and should be uncomfortable. It should challenge viewers and give them food for thought. Even if at some ...

http://db-artmag.com/en/87/feature/art-trends-tired-of-participating/ Ayşe Erkmen One can be a viewer in a cinema, reader of a book, auditor to music... Visual art is particular and varied…, The art viewer never was just a viewer and being just a viewer has become less and less interesting in time… Art is varied in its form, material and location, there is no fixed material nor a standard medium, art's whereabouts can be anywhere: museum, gallery, city, countryside, sea, sky, etc.... Visual art can adopt the form of film, music, book, theater, its physical existence can be anything from paint to air… can be mistaken for not being art or being something else or being nothing. Therefore not participating and being a sole spectator is generally not in the nature of art anyway. But on the other hand there is a fabricated, instructed and studious style of art where the viewer is given the codes of participation and one knows exactly what to do. In this case it is up to the viewer to...

Avant de pouvoir apprécier son exposition dès cet été, elle acceptera lors de cette réunion publique du 2 avril de répondre aux questions et d'expliquer la démarche de l'esprit nécessaire pour apprécier ses créations à leur juste valeur.
