Caroline Schattling Villeval,
No, no no healthy trust
, colour, 2’15’’, ed. of the CEC, 2023

In the video No, no no healthy trust, the question of the body remains, in this case individual as well as biological. The theme of power is approached through the topic of well-being. “For Caroline Schattling Villeval, the interest in care as a concept emerged through the discovery of the feminist self-help movements of the 1970s. The movement was initiated on one hand as a reaction to the masculine domination in the health system, and on another hand as a set of contemporary artistic practices which were articulated around said movement. In Europe, the Feminist Health Care Research Group, formed in 2015 in Berlin by Julia Bonn, Alice Münch and Inga Zimprich took inspiration from the West German Health Movement in order to create spaces to welcome collective research around exhibitions, workshops or zines as tools to think about and construct a more radical health system. As an empowerment process, individual education notably revolves around learning DIY practices within a communal setting, as a way to propose a collective alternative to the dominant health system.

In the video No, no no healthy trust, a small green plant agitates itself in a jerky trance. Is it the result of drug consumption within a festive setting, or maybe dietary supplements consumed to provide a daily energy boost? Regardless of whether it’s one or the other, the specter of the neoliberal economy seems to loom large. Caroline Schattling Villeval’s characters are often offbeat, submerged by a world which overflows with possibilities to get better, always better. They seem to be in a perpetual well-being quest, an investigation of happiness. Happiness, as it was formulated by Martin Seligman, co-founder of positive psychology next to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, follows a hyper-individualist logic; To reach happiness depends on one’s will to undertake a series of important actions as a way to achieve a sustainable blissful state. How convenient for capitalism! Supported by the good vibes only slogan, the wellness industry takes off in the beginning of the 2000s: happiness can be bought. Yoga, pilates, diets, detoxes, miracle morning, beauty care, meditation, self-development, spiritual retreat: so many practices that guarantee a better life, evolving at the pace of supply and demand, standardising bodies and minds while detaching them from any kind of collective commitment. Health is no longer limited to fighting diseases, and now encompasses attempts to perform better, self-optimise, compensate hypothetical deficiencies. For one’s own sake?

It all started with a letter to my father. It had been about ten years since his death, and I suddenly felt like writing to him about the silence, his silence, the silence between us. It started in 2020, as a necessity. The silence, then, was striking. It resonated with other erased voices, other voids, other emotions. I thought I would not be able to stop. Neither diary, nor essay, nor short story, Blackout is a weaving, a braid made of these lines of silence, and tells, in fragments, the story of a dispossession, of an entry into darkness.

Yann Chateigné Tytelman is an author and curator living in Brussels. He was an artistic advisor at MORPHO, Antwerp; curator at KANAL – Centre Pompidou, Brussels (2019–2021); head of the Visual Arts Department at HEAD – Geneva (2009-2017) and of the programming at CAPC Museum of contemporary art in Bordeaux (2007–2009).

He has contributed to Conceptual Fine ArtsMousse and Spike and co-edited Almanac Ecart. A collective archive, 1969-2019 (HEAD-Geneva/ art&fiction, 2019).

Based on the exhibition Die Welt als Labyrinth, which he co-curated at the Mamco in 2018, Paul Bernard analyses the failed experiment of an exhibition of the Situationists that ought to have taken place at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1959. By means of writings by members of the Situationist International, this essay attempts to complement and reconstruct their ambivalent relationship with the format of the exhibition, the museum and the institution.

In 2018, the Musée d’art moderne et contemporain de Genève (MAMCO) presented Die Welt als Labyrinth, an exhibition devoted to the early years of the Situationist International (S.I) and the various movements it derived from. Conscious of the complexity of such a project, we began to work on it a year earlier, setting up a curatorial committee (composed of Lionel Bovier, Gérard Berréby, Julien Fronsacq, John M Armleder, Mai-Thu Perret, Swana Pilhatsch-Morenz and Luca Bochicchio) which enabled us to quickly get in touch with a network of specialists. For my part, I was able to travel to Paris, Albissola, Prato, Venice, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Silkeborg in the space of a year to meet collectors, historians, curators and artists who were more or less directly related to the S.I. Nearly all of these meetings were fascinating, supportive and even downright enjoyable. But there were a few condescending grimaces from people who found our project to be deplorable. How indeed to conceive an exhibition about the Situationists without distorting the meaning of their action?

From the first paragraph of Paul Bernard’s text, “Guy would never have done that.”  Debord Curator, Before publication 9, ed. CEC, 2022.

Giulia Essyad uses her body as a raw material and a space of projection, which she immerses in a fantastic cinematic universe reminiscent of medieval legends and pop culture. She makes use of a sensibility soaked up the codes of ultra-femininity, between an uninhibited self-assertion and an invitation to the critical deconstruction of the representation of the contemporary body. Between historical hijacking and provocation, her body becomes a militant, iconic vector, which she plunges into dreamlike universes, freeing her image from the taboos and criteria that continue to confine women to the aesthetic canons which still prevail in our society. In a very free syncretism, she summons notions that extend from animism to polytheism, from the world of fairies to that of Fantasy, which is inspired by both natural and supernatural phenomena, by myths and by more traditional and ancient beliefs, in a very broad and multicultural field, or in the more contemporary field of hybrid, archaic and digital beings.

The set of photographs Shali (house in Siwi language) was made in February 2021 – Shali, digital photographs (color originals), inkjet print on Hahnmühle paper, 74.7 x 58 cm, 2021. It’s related to the fortress of the same name, located in the center of the Siwa oasis in Egypt. The construction technique, kershef, is a mixture of clay, salt and stones. It is exemplary of Berber vernacular architecture and offers a natural protection against the heat of the desert. Severely eroded by time and the torrential rains of 1926, the fortress of Shali has been restored by the Egyptian government who wants to make Siwa an eco-tourism center.

Born in 1967 in Sierre, Laurence Bonvin is a Swiss photographer and film director. She lives between Switzerland and the city of Lisbon. Marked by the documentary, her approach has been focused for many years on landscape, architecture and the phenomena of transformation of urban and natural environments. Through her gaze, the artist reveals the social, poetic and political dimensions of intermediate places such as borders, wastelands, pre-urban and peri-urban areas, and questions their identities.
Her photographic work has been presented in solo exhibitions including: Blackrock, Dak’Art Biennale, Dakar (2022); Earth Beats, Kunsthaus Zürich (2021); See Pieces, Alfred Ehrhardt Foundation, Berlin (2021); Les lois de l’improbabilité, Centre de la photographie, Geneva (2020); Something Else 2, Biennale off, Darb 1789, Cairo (2018); Flow of Forms, Museum of Ethnology, Hamburg (2018). She has also been the subject of several publications, including On the Edges of Paradise (edition fink, Zürich, 2008), the collection of Cahiers d’artistes (Pro Helvetia, Zürich + ed. Periferia, Lucerne, 2007) or the collection Before publication of the Centre d’édition contemporaine, Geneva (شالي, Before publication 7, ed. of CEC, Geneva, 2022). She also participates in the collective exhibition, La montagne en perspective, in the Museum of Art and History, Geneva (2022-23). Laurence Bonvin has directed several short films presented in exhibitions as well as selected by international festivals: Ghost Fair Trade (2022); Aletsch Negative (2019); Avant l’envol (2016); Blikkiesdorp (2014); AfterVegas (2013).

For the publication Still Life/Les feuilles mortes/2020-2021, David Hominal has selected a series of dead leaves that, for him as for all of us, are memories of childhood or walks. Beyond romanticism or naturalism, these leaves represent, like the painting, a perfect flat surface and a network of veins that are organized, like David Hominal’s gesture, from the center to the edge of the canvas, in an opening movement, the color and lines invading the canvas beyond the limits of each leaf. The play of inverted meanings between the English phrase and its French translation, Still Life, literally « toujours en vie », but actually meaning « nature morte » (still life), gives clues to the essence of Hominal’s practice. He chooses the exercise of still life to give it a new lease on life. A fragile and ephemeral subject as a metaphor of his practice declined, here, in a cycle both short and infinite, oscillating eternally between death and rebirth.

Folie meurtrière, terreur, guerre (ed. Gallimard, Paris, 2002), which bears witness to the difficulties of representing cruelty, violence and war.

A text by Dean Kissick, New York editor of Spike Art Magazine, accompanies the reproductions, adding a textual and narrative dimension to the abstract landscapes imagined by the artist. His drawings, a kind of celestial cartography with an almost digital rendering, are a fictional immersion in a chaotic, hostile world. A work of anticipation, Guillaume Dénervaud’s universe is one that bears the marks of man’s destructive action on his environment.

Nick Mauss, for his part, has often staged multidisciplinary exhibitions for which he has created transhistorical spaces allowing for new associations and questioning, that are an intrinsic part of his research and work.

Paul Paillet examines the injunction to happiness, synonymous of absolute love and self-fulfillment, whose obsessive quest has become a consumer good in contemporary society. The artist drew inspiration from Michel Tournier’s novel Les Météores and José Galhardo’s song Coimbra (1930). Some verses from the French version, Avril au Portugal (1947), written by Jacques Larue, and from the English version, April in Portugal (1947), by Jimmy Kennedy, are published in BRUME BOURGEON BRISE SOLEIL.

A diminished poetryAn expanding (and contracting) writerlyFragments, for Rindon Johnson is a text by Harry Burke about the immersive videos of American artist Rindon Johnson. It combines notes, quotations, recasts and even strikethroughs in a fragmentary, indirect response to Johnson’s work, video production, legacy and position in relation to expanded cinema, multimedia culture, the place of computers in creation and virtual reality. Harry Burke also offers a reflection on the opening up of media in the digital age, while evoking the political and personal aspirations of a new generation of artists and critics.
