Ouvrage publié à l'occasion de l'exposition présentée au MacVal, Vitry-sur-Seine, du 15 février au 13 juillet 2014.00Née en 1937 à San Sebastián (Espagne) et vivant à Paris depuis le début des années 1970, Esther Ferrer est une figure majeure de l'art des cinquante dernières années. En 1967, elle rejoint le groupe d'art action ZAJ qui se produit dans des salles de concerts en pleine période franquiste et s'illustre rapidement par des performances de musique contemporaine radicales et conceptuelles. A partir des années 1970, parallèlement aux actions et performances, Esther Ferrer consacre une partie de son activité aux photographies retravaillées, aux installations, aux tableaux basés sur la série des nombres premiers et aux objets qu'elle détourne de leurs fondements pour faire reémerger leurs ancrages idéologiques.

A lively introduction to the breadth of Waters's work, Deep Waters touches on themes of ecology, philosophy, pre-Columbiana, Eastern philosophy, Egyptology, American Indians, and a host of other subjects reflecting the great cultural shifts occurring at the time.

"The Val-de-Marne Contemporary Art Museum is happy to present a group show entitled 'Tous, des sang-mêlés' ('All, mixed-bloods') around the universal and burning issue of cultural identity. This original proposal echoes previous curatorial projects conducted by the MAC VAL over the last few years. In tune with the current world affairs, this exhibition explores the notion of cultural identity through various artistic visions and experiences: what is our common denominator? How do we build a shared culture in spite of more and more diverse/opposite origins? Those are some of the current global issues. Under the co-patronage of French historian Lucien Febvre and his book We are all mixed-bloods: a manual on the history of the French civilization (1950), and that of Stuart Hall, founding father of Cultural Studies, this exhibition highlights the fictional dimension of the concept of cultural identity. Our curators have built an exhibition around different proposals that raise questions and shed light on what relates and sets us apart, on transfer of knowledge and future, on power and resistance, on individuals and communities"--Publisher's website.

Cet ouvrage a été publié à l'occasion de l'exposition "Situation(s)" qui s'est tenue au MAC/VAL du 30 juin au 16 septembre 2012.00L|exposition "Situation(s) [48°47|34|N/ 2 ° 2 3 | 1 4|E]" réunit les oeuvres de dix artistes dont le travail repose, notamment, sur le hiatus espace intime/espace public. Au travers d|oeuvres évolutives, performatives et collaboratives, c|est d|identité(s) et de représentation( s) de soi dont il est question. D|identités en mouvement, en recherche, en construction. De constitution de l|individu en tant que Sujet. Ou comment prendre position, se situer, depuis le champ de l|art , dans un réel orthonormé.

With "Émoi & moi" the MAC/VAL has brought together works by fifteen artists for whom introspection is a creative force for its first temporary exhibition for 2013. These are artists who explore questions of existence and who hold distinct, critical perspectives of reality stemming from knowledge of oneself. Looking into the mirror and playing with the idea that art might be an expression of the interior landscape, this exhibition reflects upon what might be termed archaeology of the self. How can one give form to the impalpable, the irrational, the invisible, to emotions and to the passage of fleeting moments? If creating mental spaces is one of art's roles, how does one represent them? This dilemma, perhaps an impossibility, is at the heart of the fertile dynamic of the works in this exhibition, allowing us to pose a number of essential questions: What is a Subject? How is it constructed? What is a work of art? How do artists play with the interface between the self and the exterior world?--Press release.
