CONCOURS CABANES PRIMITIVES

LA MAISON DE L'ARCHITECTURE ET L'ASSOCIATION PAVILLON SICLI LANCENT UN CONCOURS D'ARCHITECTURE, D'ART ET DE DESIGN : "CABANES PRIMITIVES".

Toutes les infos ici

La Maison de l’architecture de Genève (MA) et l’Association Pavillon Sicli (APS) ont pour mission de favoriser les échanges et la réflexion autour de l’art du bâti. Pour leur exposition du printemps 2023, la MA et l’APS s’intéresseront plus particulièrement à la question du jeu comme origine de la création architecturale et à sa capacité à faire monde. Dans ce cadre, les associations lancent conjointement un concours d'architecture, d'art et de design. Les concurrent·e·s sont invités à réaliser leur propre cabane primitive qui sera présentée au Pavillon Sicli dans le cadre de l'exposition.

Cette réalisation mettra en scène de manière introspective les racines de leurs mondes architecturaux : désirs, rêves, obsessions, peurs, sensations, sentiments, réflexions... Ces cabanes peuvent être conçues comme des archétypes, des prototypes ou des objets paradigmatiques qui condensent en une construction un faisceau d’architectures possibles. Elles peuvent aussi, à l’instar du Teatrino scientifico d’Aldo Rossi, proposer une représentation d’un processus créatif. Terrains de jeux intimes ouverts sur le monde, elles pourront être habitées ou non, figées dans une position ou au contraire manipulables par les spectateurs de l’exposition.

A l’issue de l’envoi des candidatures, un jury de sélection retiendra cinq à dix projets. Les lauréat·e·s se partageront la dotation globale de 10’000 frs pour produire leurs projets.

Ce concours est ouvert aux candidat·e·s de toutes nationalités, de tous âges, et dans toutes disciplines artistiques et techniques, actifs dans la région de Genève. Les candidat·e·s peuvent être des personnes physiques ou organisés en personne morale (groupe d’artistes, collectif, etc.).

Le jury ne souhaite pas limiter les formes d’expression des candidat·e·s. Au contraire, une attention sera accordée aux capacités des candidat·e·s à s’affranchir des disciplines créatives et à s’adresser à un public diversifié. Pour des raisons techniques liées à l’espace d’exposition (Pavillon Sicli), les projets ne peuvent pas comporter d’images projetées ni nécessiter de cimaise. Chacune des œuvres choisies devra s’inscrire dans un gabarit de 1m x 1m x 1m. Chaque candidat·e·s ne peut présenter qu’une seule œuvre ou qu’un seul projet. L’œuvre restera la propriété de son·sa créateur·trice. Les projets proposés doivent être inédits, c’est-à-dire n’avoir jamais été exposés auparavant.

Les cabanes ayant une dimension imaginaire autant que constructive, il n’est pas spécifiquement, demandé de produire une maquette de cabane, mais un objet qui trouve en lui-même sa propre mesure et donne à voir un monde. Les matériaux, le poids de l’œuvre sont libres.

JOB -> Mandat de signalétique

 MANDAT DE SIGNALÈTIQUE 

Je suis designer scénographe et je recherche un ou une designer produit pour travailler en collaboration avec une designer graphique et moi sur un mandat de signalétique. 

Il s’agit d’un mandat pour des institutions sociales ayant récemment aménagé dans deux nouveaux immeubles à Plan-les-ouates. Après avoir fait la direction artistique pour l’aménagement des locaux, je suis maintenant chargée, en collaboration avec une designer graphique, de concevoir la signalétique des deux immeubles. Le ou la designer produit devra concevoir et développer les différents systèmes permettant d’afficher l’information. 

Mandat global 

Concevoir la signalétique pour deux immeubles, situés à Plan-les-ouates et accueillant 10 institutions sociales du canton de Genève. 

S’orienter efficacement dans les deux immeubles, de 7 étages chacun et occupés par onze institutions différentes, est un véritable enjeu. Il s’agit donc de concevoir la signalétique de l’ensemble des deux immeubles de manière à ce que chaque usager·ère·s du bâtiment se repère facilement. 

Les espaces concernés sont des espaces administratifs (bureaux, salles de conférences…), des espaces dédiés au bien-être des collaborateur·trice·s (salle de pause, WC, salle d’allaitement…), un pôle innovation, des espaces techniques et des ateliers. 

La signalétique est destinée à orienter l’ensemble des usager·ère·s des bâtiments : les collaborateur·trices des institutions, les bénéficiaires, les client·e·s, les usager·ère·s ponctuel·le·s tels que les livreur·se·s ou réparateur·trice·s. 

Rôle du ou de la designer produit 

En concertation avec la designer graphique mandatée pour le projet, il s’agira de concevoir et développer les différents systèmes permettant d’afficher l’information. Quelques exemples de supports à développer : 

- Système présent sur les portes de salles, indiquant les informations qui y sont liées (nom de la salle, nom des collaborateur·trice·s) et permettant de changer facilement l’information 

- Panneau suspendu indiquant des informations sur une zone spécifique (Exemple : zone de coupe dans la menuiserie ) 

- Système indiquant si une salle eet libre ou occupée 

 Calendrier et rémunération 

Date de début : dès que possible 

Conception : mai / juin 2022 

Production : juillet / août 2022 

Pose dans le bâtiment : fin septembre 2022 

Modalités et tarif de la rémunération à définir ensemble 

Expériences nécessaires 

Pas d’attente particulière, toutefois une expérience dans la signalètique est un plus.

Situated on Saint-Barthélémy hill in Nice and listed as a remarkable building of 20th century architecture, Villa Arson belongs to a network of ten public national schools of higher education in the arts under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture in the field of visual arts. Villa Arson is also an establishment for artistic production and circulation through its international program of exhibitions and residencies. A legal entity of Université Côte d’Azur, since 2019, Villa Arson has been implementing a practice-based PhD in Arts.

Practice-based PhD in Arts
Practice-based research in arts aims to establish the artistic project as a matrix for research, structured around both an analytical reflection and a production of art works.

This doctoral program is addressed specifically to candidates with an original and innovative production in their field of artistic expression and theoretical research, and who master theory, history and current agendas in the fields of art and social sciences.

Candidates will have a new and experimental approach to artistic creation and its restitution, as well as an ongoing research activity. All forms of research are accepted, nonetheless it is desirable for candidates to show a particular interest in Villa Arson’s specific activities.

Goals of the doctoral program
–Conceiving and organizing a practice-based research program, through an interaction between theory and creation.
–Contextualizing this research at the heart of an interdisciplinary environment (fine arts, photography, film, theater, dance and performance, sound, immersive and digital arts, practices involving text, curatorial practices, etc.)
–Developing methodologies and specific tools in relation with the subject of research

It is expected from the candidate to have sufficient technical and/or technological skills to be self-sufficient in the workshops and studios in order to participate actively in the research and development projects at the Villa Arson.

Expected activities 
The future doctoral student shall have an active artistic and intellectual production during the three-years doctoral program. They will be asked to do the following in conformity with the means provided by the Villa Arson:

–Present at least once a year their work through the organization of conferences or talks 
–Publish at least once a year in specialized revues
–During the second or third year of the doctoral program, organize 24 hours of classes or seminars closely linked to their subject matter
–At the end of the three-year doctoral program and after the dissertation defense, organize a public restitution in the context of the Villa Arson’s artistic program and within its exhibition spaces

The candidate is also expected to participate actively in the organization of Villa Arson’s research laboratory and in its activities. They will be encouraged to develop partnerships and residencies abroad, and to take advantage of the Villa Arson’s partnership with Laval university in Quebec.

The dissertation
The dissertation for the Practice-based PhD in will consist in one or several works, complemented by a hybrid document in which text can coexist with other forms of expression.

This text will present—in the form of a portfolio or logbook—all the activities (experiences, sources, interactions with other artistic or scientific practices) which have accompanied and nourished visual production. The aim of the dissertation is to produce new knowledge on a specific subject or in a specific field by presenting reasoned arguments and a clear vision of the questions at hand, in a form agreed to beforehand by the Phd advisers.

The dissertation advisers will be:
–A member of the teaching staff at the Villa Arson, teaching either fine arts or theory
–A professor-researcher exterior to the Villa Arson, entitled to advise research (possessing an habilitation à diriger des recherches—HDR) and a member of a research laboratory belonging to a Doctoral School. They can for instance be one of a list of entitled advisers at the laboratory of the École Doctorale SHAL at the Université Côte d’Azur, or be a member of any other Doctoral School in France, or of a research entity abroad in the context of a PhD.

N.B. In order to submit an application, each candidate must first have formulated a research project with a professor-researcher entitled to advise research, and have received the professor’s approval for the project. Each candidate must also make inquiries into the calendar and deadlines of the Doctoral School they will be enrolling in following her/his choice of research adviser (for enrollment in a PhD program for the year 2022–2023)

Grant and support
Once the candidate has enrolled in the doctoral program, an annual sum of 10 000€ in support of production will be granted by the Villa Arson. The Villa Arson will also provide lodgings on campus and access to the workshops and tools available on site.

Application, shortlist, admission
Candidates applying for the research program are invited to send an application file, either in French or in English. It will be examined by a selection committee, and will be potentially invited for an interview with a jury including professor-artists at the Villa Arson and professor-artists at EUR CREATES (UCA).

The application files should be sent exclusively by e-mail, in one single PDF document (as an attached file or as a link to Google Drive, WeTransfer, etc.), at the latest before Monday, May 16, 2022, to the following e-mail address: programme.doctoral@villa-arson.org

Symposium → Fundamental : Encounter in Art, Design, and Science, January 26th at 4pm CET

Daniel Tapia Takaki, Dunne & Raby, Jenna Sutela, Metahaven, Mónica Bello, Stefanie Hessler

In their pursuit of fundamental questions, art and science largely use different methods, means, and objectives. The focus of this symposium lies on the overlap between the almost ungraspable fundamental processes in physics, and the experimental sites and machines designed and created to render these tangible—and, in essence, offer a shimmering zone of physical proof for their existence.

The philosopher Wilfrid Sellars once proposed a conceptual separation between our impressions of everyday reality—which he called the “manifest image”—and the underlying fundamental process of that reality—which he called the “scientific image.” Regardless of whether we agree with Sellars (or with any dualism, including mind-body, conscious-unconscious, etc.), it is possible to conceive of bringing the two together: there are instances when scientific images do become manifest ones. For example, when, ten years ago in 2012, the existence of the Higgs boson was confirmed by groundbreaking experiments at CERN in Geneva, the subatomic particle in question did not show up as a picture, but as a statistic incident: a slight bump in a graph. The Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle accelerator ever built, was designed to obtain this as part of a broad research program to advance our understanding of the universe we live in. Indeed, ever-more elusive fundamentals need ever-more ambitious machines and structures: in 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope—a global network of synchronized radio observatories—rendered the first composite image of a black hole. Similar to the Higgs’s discovery, such an achievement, in equal parts science and art, bridges two ideas of the observable world and brings them together.

In 2020, Arts at CERN and HEAD—Genève, with Metahaven, co-organized the symposium Re: View from Nowhere, bringing together physicists, theorists, artists, and curators. Fundamental is its successor, jointly organized with Kunsthall Trondheim.
