A world of multiplicity, combining its territories without any hierarchy, LA FORCE DE L’ART 02 offers visitors multiple passages via initiatives and creative dialogues.

Throughout the entire period of the exhibition, the "Guest" artists will succeed each other in the Nave of the Grand Palais, creating a continual festival of events and performances: musical initiatives, live performance, speaking, borrowing and exchanging. For a series of 15 evenings, put together on the principle of encounter, difference and the inter-disciplinary exchanges, multiple dialogues will be woven between the artists, in certain cases for the very first time. These invitations extended by creators with their different careers are so many occasions for combination and exchange, where each work and each gesture reveals the unexpected.

>> The Virtual's programme  

Often functioning as duos, each pair of artists is invited to conceive a program of initiatives linked to live art. Projection, dance, theatre, music, "numbers" succeed each other for close to three hours. Time for "a buzz of talk" rather than a speech, a sustained proliferation of meaning, the expression of all the fictions circulating around the central part of the exhibition which, in contrast, appears as a silent modelled silhouette. A range of experiences during which art projects itself in accordance with other rules, where the work is played out again, transposed, questioned by the extreme diversity of the performances.

Numerous "Guests" comprise the multiple facets of this programme:

Stéphane Bérard, Sonia Chiambretto, La Compagnie du Zerep, Eac Les Roches et Super Jean-François, Christophe Fiat, Laurent Friquet et Marie-Pierre Brébant, Camille Henrot, Hop-là! nous vivons (Clédat/Petitpierre), IKHÉA©SERVICES, Agathe Max, Pierre Moignard, Ned, Richard Negre, Asami Nishimura, Yves Pagès, Psychic Paramount, Jean-François Pauvros, Charles Pennequin, Jean-Paul Thibeau, Youssef Tabti, Georges Tony-Stoll, Bérengère Valour et Joris Ruhl, Goran Vejvoda/Background.

The Virtuals

In partnership with Synesthésie, an invitation is extended to a group of "Virtual" artists who, through digital networks, will infiltrate LA FORCE DE L’ART 02. Every day a different artistic proposal will appear both on the big screen at the Grand Palais and online, on the Internet. During the course of these special encounters, certain of these works, as they are materialized in the Nave, will reveal an unexpected, augmented or renewed aspect.
