The CEC is launching a video production project, initiated as a consequence of the pandemic and the need to develop digital resources. The project will take place in several stages, most often in relation to the CEC’s programming. This series of short films will be posted regularly on our website. The videos will be divided into three chapters under the generic title “Films”: “Recent videos”, “Documents” and “Archives.” The “Documents” section will mainly present interviews with artists, critics or curators; the “Archives” section will make it possible to discover or rediscover some of the videos created in the context of exhibitions, events or editions from the 1990s onwards.

A group of four new videos, produced between 2022 and 2023, with Guillaume Dénervaud, Paul Paillet, Mai-Thu Perret and Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, as well as Paul Viaccoz, is now available on our modified and expanded website, thanks to Niels Wehrspann (graphic designer, Lausanne), and will be screened at the CEC, from March 16th to April 28th, 2023, with a private view on Thursday, March 16th, 2023, from 6 pm to 9 pm, as part of la Nuit des Bains.

Videos: new and revisited will open with Paul Paillet’s video, screened from March 16th to 24th, 2023, and Guillaume Dénervaud’s, from March 28th to 31st, 2023. These two artists exhibited at the CEC in 2020 and 2021, during the first two years of Covid-19.

For this invitation, Paul Paillet has directed a hypnotic and psychedelic video-clip, working from a series of collages with zingy colours. Handmade, these collages were then digitised and enhanced with special effects. Reminiscent of vertical smartphone screens, the ultimate symbol of the rapid and uncontrolled circulation of images taken on the fly, Surprise/Innocence is a mixture of low-tech and high-tech. The animation follows a filiform figure with aquatic movements, crossing a landscape of hills against a backdrop of a setting sun and more or less enigmatic architectures. This character moves to the rhythm of an increasingly frenetic live performance by the collectives Tamal Nuisances and Csters, recorded at the Teknival de Chambley in 2004. This Hardtek soundtrack is strangely linked to the album Wings (2016) by the South Korean interplanetary boy band BTS, whose members read extracts from the novel Demian.Die Geschichte einer Jugend by Hermann Hesse (1919). Paul Paillet intentionally takes up this sampling technique which is emblematic of electronic music, especially that of the Free Party movement. This film is a nod to the installation Tin Can BTS Radio (Wings), which was presented during the artist’s solo exhibition fascination for fire which opened at the CEC in September 2020.

AGLOROMONES is Guillaume Dénervaud’s first video. It presents a selection of images shot outdoors, embodying the research and concerns linked to the era of the Anthropocene, which underpin the artist’s entire body of work. Filmed on the route that separates Guillaume Dénervaud’s former residence in the 18th arrondissement of Paris from his studio in Saint-Denis, the images document the artist’s daily observations in this rapidly-transforming part of the city. AGLOROMONES presents a series of filmed scenes between abstraction and reality, a crossing of these interstitial and peripheral spaces, transit areas between the city and the countryside.

The programme will continue with the screening of two documents, directly related to the exhibitions of Paul Viaccoz, Mai-Thu Perret and Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, which took place in 2021, 2022 and 2018.

Recorded in January 2022 in Paul Viaccoz’ studio in Courroux, Murs chamaniques. Commentaires is an extension of his ESPRIT ES-TU LÀ ? exhibition. In the voice-over, the artist recounts his spiritual journey to encounter illness and death. The film also presents a visual journey, a tracking shot which encompasses his collection of objects, often linked to personal memories or mystical images, that make up the Murs chamaniques which the artist has been continuously developing in his house and studio for the past few years. Day after day, he assembles objects taken from nature or from everyday life, fetishes and talismans which are then juxtaposed or combined with photographs, drawings, screenshots of his videos, postcards, masks, musical instruments, skulls and crossbones, sabres, dried flowers, feathers, jewellery and pieces of embroidery. This collection of objects, images and texts forms a mural puzzle, rearranged according to the artist’s moods, reflections and lived experience.

The Conversation in English between Mai-Thu Perret and Matthew Lutz-Kinoy opens a series of filmed interviews, which will continue with the one recently recorded at the CEC between Liz Craft and Paul-Aymar Mourgue d’Algue. Conversation is an opportunity for the two artists to revisit the Scrolls in the Wind. A collection of scripts and poems by Harry Burke, Cyrus Grace Dunham, Sharon Hayes, James English Leary, Sophy Naess, Amy Sillman and Emily Sundblad edition (2018) by Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, and Mai-Thu Perret’s My Sister’s Hand in Mine (2022), both produced by the CEC. This exchange reveals the complicity between two artists with unique backgrounds, but especially their shared interest in traditional craft practices and their curiosity about various techniques and trades, which they revisit regularly. They share this reflection and this blurring of the boundaries between arts and crafts.

This first round of screenings will conclude with the presentation of four videos from the CEC archives, one per day for four days, from April 25th to 28th, 2023, some of which have been remastered and reformatted for our expanded website: Detroit on Circle by Alexandre Bianchini, Brave new world, March 2020 by Liz Craft, Cosmic Storm, Cern by Gianni Motti, The Gospel According to Jeffrey by Jeffrey Vallance.

In collaboration with Zsuzsanna Szabo, coordinator and production manager

The project Videos: new and revisited is supported by the Federal Office of Culture and the Republic and Canton of Geneva.

Winterling, Heimo Zobernig

Focus: Mélanie Matranga

Mélanie Matranga’s artistic approach is crossed by stories that infiltrate a production of objects, installations, films, and even pieces of furniture and reconstructions of interiors that are loaded with signifying signs, texts and images: drawings, photographs, prints, projections. These combined elements propose “situations” that interrogate intimacy and seem to be filled with sensations and residual feelings, receptacles where real life experience and imagination, the document and the scenario meet.

Sound exhibition from December 11, 2015 till March 26, 2016
Opening Thursday December 10, 2015, 6 PM – 9 PM

Artists’ Voices assembles a group of sound pieces linked to the theme of the voice. The voice considered as a strong marker on the unconscious, a pre-language primal expression that is directly connected to emotions and is identifiable by a body of signs: tone, vibration, timbre, rhythm. The sound pieces are songs, declamations, monologues, a reading, a discourse, a dialogue, an echo, a whisper, a noise, a scream or breathing, up to the point of rupture, dysphonia, aphonia, silence, or even the return of sound and music.

T. Quelques possibilités de textes

Exhibition from May 8 to June 13, 2009
Opening : Thursday, May 7, 2009, from 6 pm

T like text, of course, or temporary, tentative, turn of phrase, trove, trouble, tension… tea time and T. Rex.

T is an exhibition which offers several possibilities of texts. Artists’ texts that can be images, signs or also an abstract, a description, an explanation, a manifesto, a recollection, a quotation, a poem, a story…

T is a round-trip from text to work, from work to text: a new exercise.

T, it’s some simple sheets of A4 paper, several proposals of printed matter (tracts or small posters), but also a letter, a recording, a distribution or even a republishing, the publication of a work already completed or the layout of a future publication; a model.

Upon invitation of the Centre d’édition contemporaine and of the Centre d’Art Contemporain at BAC – Bâtiment d’art contemporain, Geneva

Where to live, and how? This exhibition offers a reflection on projects by artists and architects who think about living conditions and challenge this question in their work. These projects come from various contexts that, for the major part, are situated at the junction of architecture and art, Utopia and reality, individual and collective space. Some of these projects document very active emerging urban forms and ask complex economical, political, and social questions which traditional notions of urbanism disregard.
If we think of the city as “a series of strata and styles, of icons and cultural practices which bring together constructions from the past, tradition, as well as these new projects and ideas for the future”1, can the different projects that will be presented really transform, or at least question, the way specialists, the State and users tackle the problem of living conditions?

« Fiction can help to fin both the truth and what if hides. »
Marcel Broodthaers

The Missing Evidence is an exhibition aiming to explore strategies of mystification towards which tend certain artists, playing of their status of creators. It takes to witness the emblematic figure of Bas Jan Ader (1942-1975). The artist, mysteriously gone missing at sea at age of 33, during his performance-trip entitled In the Search of the Miraculous.
This conceptual Dutch artist, whom art was a voyage just as real as metaphorical, chose to cross the Atlantic alone on a sailboat from the United States. Upon his arrival, an exhibition was planned at the Groninger Museum (Holland) to present works realized during his voyage. Continue readingThe Missing Evidence

View of the exhibition Paper field – exhibition Field

In order to pursue our investigation into the field of the multiple and to consider it as a field of experimentation and test site, this year we have chosen to shift our perspective towards objects that straddle the border between the artistic and commercial systems. Throughout 2003 we have been showcasing publications that operate outside the constraints of traditional channels of distribution and communication, with multiples such as posters and portfolios, fanzines, Xerox books, newspapers and free magazines, distributed – before or after the exhibition – by hand, through the mail, or in public places such as bars, stores, galleries, art centers and museums, … Continue readingFilière papier – Filière expo

A collaboration between finger (artist collective based in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany) and three graduating students – Aurélien Gamboni, Sloane Huguenin and Marion Ronca – from the CCC critical curatorial cybermedia postgraduate program of the Ecole supérieure des beaux-arts HES-Genève, and the centre d’édition contemporaine.

finger was founded in 1998. The group, composed today of four artists, Martin Brandt, Florian Haas, Claudia Hummel and Andreas Wolf, aims to undertake research in the form of “fieldwork”: mediating actions and alternative realizations which are later regularly documented in their eponymous publication.
A platform for discussion and exchange between artists and authors, finger deals with exhibitions, conferences and publications touching on the new phenomena, whether unconscious, popular, individual or more general which traverse contemporary society, at the level of the everyday, the local and the city, but also through larger economic, social and cultural movements: globalization, immigration, political and social conflicts, new technologies… Continue reading “Finger No. 12

Hinrich Sachs – B. Toguo Tamokoué, view of the exhibition, 1997

The next exhibition of the Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine will be dedicated to two young artists: Toguo Tamokoué (born in 1967 in Cameroon, lives and works in Grenoble, Düsseldorf and Abidjan) and Hinrich Sachs (born in 1962 in Osnabrück, lives and works in Hamburg) who received both the purse of CGGC / 1996, giving them the opportunity to produce an edition in engraving or in any technical feasible in our workshops. This exhibition is the result of several coincidences, among others, the choice of our jury that focused on two artists who wanted to meet and who, further to their meeting, projected a common journey in Ivory Coast. This project was developed on the basis of their respective personal experiences and their linguistic and artistic journey: each of them lived the experience of immigration and had to leave a native language to a foreign language. Thus, their history and their artistic practice led them to end up in Europe today, and maybe tomorrow in Africa.
