Etc collectif

Born in Strasbourg in September 2009, the Collectif Etc aims to bring together energies around a common dynamic of questioning urban space. Through different mediums and different skills, the Collective aims to be a support for experimentation.

Their projects are optimistic, open and are oriented toward a spontaneous public. Their common characteristic is to act in the public space by including the local population in their creative process.

Projects are expressed through the realization of built structures, street furniture, scenographies, light devices, the organization of meetings or conferences, educational workshops.

The purpose and interest of these urban experiments is never principally the result, but above all the process it generates, in the new environments and the new behaviors it engenders.

Les Pas Perdus

Initiator of the artistic group Les Pas Perdus which today brings together a multidisciplinary team, Guy-André Lagesse is a visual artist from Mauritius, who lived in South Africa until the age of 17 before settling in Marseille (France). This particular life journey led him, through his artistic practice, to work to bring together artistic disciplines, genres, registers and people that social or economic situations tend to separate.

For the past fifteen years, the artistic group Les Pas Perdus has therefore been offering installations and plastic works interwoven in an inventive journey through furniture> the house> the neighborhood> the city. By rubbing shoulders with popular aesthetic practices, the artistic group works on the production of works in co-production with popular creators; enthusiastic inhabitant / aunts, tinkerers, gardeners, dreamers, handicrafts enthusiasts, apartment poets …

Always ready to reuse with delight and intoxication what others want to get rid of, Guy-André Lagesse, Nicolas Barthélemy and Jérôme Rigaut have established over time a relationship of vigorous and dynamic complicity with inhabitants “inventors of everyday life”.

The Concerted Anniversary Zones, the Apartment Tuning, the Furnished Circuits, the Promenade du Jardin des Wishes Bricolés and The Houses of the Ordinary and the Fantasy® offer the possibility of working around the daring and ardor of these inhabitants who have become for the occasion “Art Occasional”.

Thus, the artists offer users of the city, a way of interrogating the concerns of everyday life as poetic potential: to find the link between the singularity and the ordinary in the everyday; to inhabit the world through aesthetic practices and plastic creations, both in public spaces and in changing urban areas.

Ipin

Ipin alias Germain Prévost, born in Reims in 1981, is a heterodox artist.
At the start of the 2000s, G. alias I. divided his training between painting in brownfields and completing a master’s degree in Environment and Society in Marseille.
Numerous cross-roads, from street art to live performance and performance, lead him today to orient himself more towards contextual art.
Passionate about in-situ work, the relationship to scale, landscape and photography, he offers us in his works a committed, ironic and sensitive vision of his environment.
Although now using a non-figurative vocabulary, in his graphic dystopias or his recent works in the HØME (s) series, he does indeed speak to us of the Human and his place in Society. He currently lives in Toulon.

Christophe Modica

Christophe Modica is a sound maker.

His research falls within the porous boundaries between genres and the arts. He works from reality, before distancing himself from it in order to develop a writing that maintains an intimate relationship with him. He questions listening, silence, perception. He is particularly interested in the relationships between sounds, music, landscapes, public spaces, theater and life stories. Originally, a press photographer, he has made numerous documentary films, photographic works and sound or radio creations (including sound walks in Marseille and Istanbul with Radio Grenouille).

Since 2012, he has been working as an educational initiator at the Faiar (Higher Art Training in Public Space) in Marseille and works with many companies focused on public space such as the Compagnie sous X (No Visa for this Country, Le Preneur de sound, Common Earth), the Affective Geography Agency (Here, now ?, The return of the kings of Iran), KMK (Elsewhere in…, What’s next?), the Agency Tourist (Go East, Plein Air) or the Théâtre de l’Arpenteur (Archeology of the present) and the Maison du Conte in Chevilly-Larue.

SAFI collectif

Du Sens, de l’Audace, de la Fantaisie et de l’Imagination, is a collective of visual artists founded in 2001 by Stéphane Brisset and Dalila Ladjal.

SAFI works, learns, dreams, shares, imagines, transmits from plants. Not conserved nature, nor domesticated nature, but the more complex ecosystems of wasteland or city borders, where play remains a possibility, in posing a challenge to urban development.

The collective explores resources, feeds on encounters, takes the time of residence, wandering and experimentation to take the pulse of the territories crossed. It highlights, in light, the intimate conversation between men and their environment.

From a repertoire of fundamental gestures: walking, smelling, listening, eating … SAFI invites you to cross forgotten areas, to practice vernacular gestures and to (re) discover unsuspected riches. He proposes to make sensitive experiments which reveal what is hidden before our eyes, perhaps out of habit. he proposes to discover that a weed can be an astonishing plant, a delicacy in the kitchen or a material of the future and constitutes a real heritage which helps us to understand our environment, connects us to each other and brings out the sensitive city and emotional.

On the GR2013, they offer to travel a known world, in search of the unexpected. Safi invites us to eat the landscapes by deploying different protocols (mobile cooking, landscape powders, edible menu, etc.) and to better use our senses to perceive the astonishing beauty of places that are familiar to us.

Julie de Muer

In 2003 after having developed several artistic projects and spaces in Paris in the field of experimental culture (the Guinguette Pirate, the Batofar), Julie de Muer moved to Marseille, where she directed the cultural radio station Radio Grenouille and the sound creation studio Euphonia, until 2009.

There, she developed her taste for hybridization, and through various media tools, mixed artistic scientific and citizen approaches, to issues around territory.

From 2009, she became an independent creator and producer, deepening her activity around the interactions between art, heritage and territories. Walking practice became a principle tool.

In the context of Marseille-Provence 2013, the European Capital of Culture, walking practices supported or co-founded several regional projects with artistic teams (the Tourist Agency with Mathias Poisson, GR2013 with the walking artists, Les promenades Sonores with Radio Grenouille ) or with local residents (Hôtel du Nord cooperative).

Today, she is mainly devoted to the Hôtel du Nord cooperative and to the GR2013 Bureau des guides, and regularly intervenes in the field of social innovation (27th region) or in training (FAI-AR, University of Provence, Conseil of Europe, School of Landscape, Architecture, etc.).
