This video-bar will presents a multi channel video installation, a 'collage' of videos screened on the walls, on objects. These videos are short loops created by the two artists during travels, wanderings, roamings... These loops wille mixed so as to create a dialogue between each artists creative world and the exhibition space.

The installation will stand for the first encounter between Mona Bentzen and Justine Emard,

two artists who are beginning a residency at Videoformes. Both artists will be there to meet on an informal way with the public. Both residencies are supported by DRAC d'Auvergne and Clermont-Communauté.

 

An evening is dedicated to performance & video and will celebrate the end of a year's artist residency at Videoformes.

Philippe Fontes : video device
He became a photographer by his own, using video since the 90's. At this time his passion
for musical improvisation led him to work with a lot of musicians and composers. In year 2004
he co-created the PLUSMOINS collective, in wich he always works nowadays.

Jérôme Montagne : mixing table
He uses for his compositions an only mixing table locked on itself. He likes to mix frequencies, white sounds
and binary rythmes in an abstract form of improvisation, so the machine is able to reveal his secret noises,
in an electric and silent weather of emotional strain.

 

For years now, Clementine Lemaître is developping 'auto-fiction' pieces and directing is own character.
She establishes links between her private life and her work. This performance will initiate a project
of video installation that will be developped during her residence and presented @ Vidéoformes 2010.

Sébastien Camboulive : Photographer, videomaker

 

Sébastien Camboulive presents several items of his cycle intitled Spirales.

This cycle is the contact between his work as a photographer and his work as a videast, a work that is going to last for one year of residence at Videoformes.

 

 

Born in 1966 in Paris, he lives and works 10 Saint-Etienne.

His early photographic works in the 80's were influenced by direct photography. This self-taught artist also works with video since the beginning of the 90's. Since then, his interest for improvised music leads him to collaborate with musicians and composers.

In 2004, he is the co-founder of PLUSMOINS, a group of artists still working today.

 

 

Just as a musician, I want to be able to cut into my images, using a computer, but more often with a scenic device picked up with one or several  cameras.

If I have to qualify my installations, I would say - let go -.

There is always something simple in the heart of my works, a sugar, soap bubbles, ants... I like to make an analogy with the game of the Go ; a simple space, simple rules but extraordinary complex possibilities.
