Exhibition
La pensée du tremblement

Du 15 septembre au 5 octobre  2017, du mercredi au dimanche, 13h – 19h

Vernissage le 14 septembre à partir de 18h

La pensée du tremblement surgit de partout […] Elle nous préserve des pensées de système et des systèmes de pensée. Elle ne suppose pas la peur ou l’irrésolu, elle s’étend infiniment comme un oiseau innumérable, les ailes semées du sel noir de la terre. Elle nous réassemble dans l’absolue diversité, en un tourbillon de rencontres. Utopie qui jamais ne se fixe et qui ouvre demain, comme un soleil et un fruit partagés.

Édouard Glissant, La Cohée du Lamentin. Poétique V, Gallimard, 2005.

Taking Édouard Glissant’s thought as a starting point, Diamètre wanted to think about a possible tomorrow. To ideologies and systems, the philosopher and poet contrasts an archipelago of thought, based on discovery, interference and creative disorder. Against any form of uniformization or assimilation, Glissant’s model of relationship produces unstable situations, disturbing because they are hybrid, but deeply fertile.

It is in this chaos of the “Everyman” that the project fits in; a world no longer governed by great hegemonic movements but by successive jolts on the scale of a territory, the end of globalizing utopias in favor of open and changing utopias. “Act in your place, think with the world”, as the Creole thinker says.

Conceived for the Grands Voisins between two islands – Jeune Création and ENSAPC YGREC galleries – the exhibition aims to reflect a generation of artists for whom identity is necessarily transitory and bodies, diasporic. As fluid as the water that composes us, “la pensée du tremblement” is an exhibition where the picture rails move and undulate, where the works play with precarious balances, sometimes suspended in the air like specific affected objects.

Diverting the tropical tropes or reinventing a collective language, it is a polyphonic universe that is offered, accompanied by a reading space where words come to mingle with flesh.
