6 curators and art students, a 6-headed desire and even more heads the exhibition is a place of encounter, of exchange a practice of correspondence
taking time to think of you of you all for you all for you through you through you all
we went a little bit everywhere and sought out heads networks of gazes hands and arms pelvises and legs to hold it all together
we found a list of prefixes dys: nearby trans: through ana: above cata: underneath
€ 3,000 27 m² a city a neighborhood and a moment in time
an exhibition that commences a commencement exhibition
Decolonial feminist thinker and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh Ha invites us to imagine the production of a gaze that is not direct but rather à côté de1. A look, a gesture, a thought that is activated “nearby”2, that is to say not very far away ; a gaze that does not contend to the objectivity of the knowledge of its subject but rather that is interested in the relation of proximity with it. We would like to consider this exhibition in these terms, without curator nor artist, but rather simultaneously everywhere or everything nearby. The word “ nearby ” may indicate that we are never really in the center3, that we are never really alone, and never sure we are in the right place.
[1] Translation: nearby [2] We refer here to the several occurrences of the terms “ nearby ” and “ nearness ” as in her first film Reassemblage (40 min, 1982) or in the lecture series that bears that name “Just Speak Nearby ”, 356mission.com, 2016.

This project was realised in collaboration with the École supérieure d’art Clermont Métropole.
