CityPrintOut !!

Alexandra Pignol / Stéphane Mroczkowski

For 6pm Your Local Time Europe (Link Art Center, Brescia, Italie)

Location : Apollonia, European Art Exchanges, Strasbourg

July 22, 2015: public presentation, local (and international via the Link Art Center) : Apollonia, 23 rue Boecklin, Strasbourg, France

General purpose

Presenting, discussing, questioning, spreading, setting into images, comparing different mediums and documents from artists who worked with the function and position of the artist in the city. And questioning it at a local scale (Strasbourg).

Context

Alexandra and Stephane want to make «6 pm» the occasion to present a group work between art and document (publications, conferences, workshops, discussions, websites…) about the city as sensible experience and city as experienced through its documents (maps, photos, story, archives…).

Collect, print, bound, present, show, display

Presented on a group of large working tables (80x220cm) loosely :

Documents (from present, past, and from different disciplines).

Maps, books, brochures, posters, various inventories, incomplete, unmethodical, non exhaustive, in variable dimensions. With a link to the city history. With links between past, present and future : with images, texts, and documents.

And also all kind of printed matter talking about the city. With, for instance, a reference to Hans-Peter Feldmann’s book Eine Stadt : Essen (and his other series concerning the city : «phones», «window views», «Times», etc.).

Collaborations

We want to work with several personalities to obtain a multiplicity of points of view on the city, its history, its present, its places, and the way these elements cross and meet :

- Olivier Calvo, artist, teacher

- Sylvain Mazars, musician, historian, journalist

- Vivien Philizot, graphic designer, searcher

- Mathilde Blum, Dimitri Pagnier, students Master degree, Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Strasbourg

- Hector Bouhier, student Master degree, teaching visual arts, Unistra

- and via e-mail, proposing to various artists and searchers to send us several documents we will work with : our proposition is to present these documents re-interpreted, reframed, and to show document dialogues (see below an example with a document sent by Michael Corris)

- Michael Corris (artist, critic, teacher, University of Dallas, USA)

- Group Stalker (Francesco Carreri, artist, teacher, Université de Rome, Italie)

- David Diao (artist, NYC)

- IRWIN, group, see EAST ART MAP (web)
