Journée paroles et manoeuvres: Between threats and lies, what horizon?
Saturday June 10th, 2017, at Les Ateliers du Vent, Rennes (France)
It is with great pleasure that Skol sends off three of its members to participate in a collaborative exchange project with Les Ateliers du Vent (ADV), a multidisciplinary art centre situated in Rennes, France.
Skol members Maggy Flynn, Jacqueline van de Geer and Pascal Lebrun will collaborate with Ateliers du Vent members Thomas François, Lise Lerichomme and Claire Aubert (of Kerfad) in a five-day residency where they will develop Journée Paroles et Manœuvres: Between threats and lies, what horizon?
Journée Paroles et Manœuvres
In the spirit of exchange and reflection, Skol invites the public to participate in Journées Paroles et Manœuvres. A cross-disciplinary meeting of interventions, conferences, performances and discussions, this event aims to inverse roles, to encourage collaboration between different types of expertise and to support hybrid forms of communication. Journées Paroles et Manœuvres is an opportunity to take time, together, through various forms and ideas.
Between threats and lies, what horizon?
Conceptualized shortly after the November 13th attacks in Paris, this theme aims to open a space of reflection where we can question the widely shared impression of facing a dead end: while France declares to be at war, where can those of us that don’t feel at home with the “barbarians”, nor with the discourses of “great western democracies” turn? What kind of horizon can we imagine outside of this hellish paradigm?
To establish a common foundation for this shared reflection, and to contextualize it socioeconomically, we are proposing that the participants read the transcription of an exceptional seminar given by Alain Badiou on November 23, 2015, “Our evil comes from further away (thinking about the November 13th killings)”.

Maggy Flynn’s multidisciplinary practice fluctuates between public intervention and action art. She creates systems as a pretext for encounters, with the goal of creatively misusing the humdrum of everyday life. In parallel, she practises more intimate activities such as drawing, embroidery and writing. Her work has been presented in public spaces, at Centre des arts actuels Skol and Centre de diffusion Dare-Dare.
Jacqueline van de Geer was born in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada in 2005, where she works as a performance artist, actress and theatrical DJ. Since her arrival in Montréal, van de Geer has written short plays and created non-linear, bilingual solo performances inspired by Dadaist practices. Her work has been presented in Canada and Europe in a wide variety of contexts: the stage, galleries, artist residencies and public spaces. http://jacquelinevandegeer.com/
Pascal Lebrun is a doctoral student in Political Science at the University of Ottawa and author of L’économie participaliste (Lux Éditeurs, 2014). As an activist in the Pointe libertaire collective and the Montréal-based Centre social autogéré, he is interested in the different forms that a 21st-century libertarian society could take, particularly in the economic sphere.

Thomas François proposes forms of play that question amusement in its plastic and social dimensions. Drawing inspiration from gaming cultures, and from new creative uses and abuses of technology, his installations engage with the position of the gamer as an identity.
Lise Lerichomme’s work is closely linked to the anecdote, in a relationship that runs parallel to historic narratives. She uses popular, cultural and decorative modes of production as a pretext for subjective evocations of small events that are less trivial than they seem. Lise Lerichomme is also an instructor and researcher in the Visual Arts Department of the Université de Strasbourg, and cofounder of the La Collective association. http://liselerichomme.wixsite.com/travaux
Le Kerfad arose out of, and remains part of the Crefad network, and is active in grassroots education and advocacy for the heritage of the 1945 manifesto of the Peuple & Culture network. Le Kerfad’s work focusses on life-long education with the goal of nurturing “reflexive practitioners” in a constant back-and-forth between theory and practice. Le Kerfad is an organization that is run in a way that is both disinterested and interesting. http://www.kerfad.org/
