Le Stade des sirenes

Kadist Art Foundation, Paris

An exhibition by Etienne Chambaud in the framework of Vincent Normand's project. It is developed by Kadist Art Foundation in Paris, the David Roberts Art Foundation in London and Nomas Foundation in Rome. The exhibition, interpreted in a different language almost simultaneously at each foundation, is based on mechanisms of writing and transcription. Translation should be considered both the medium and the shared language of the whole project.


comunicato stampa

Kadist Art Foundation is pleased to present "Le Stade des Sirènes", an exhibition by Etienne Chambaud in the framework of Vincent Normand's project Permanent Exhibition, Temporary Collections. "Le Stade des Sirènes" is developed by Kadist Art Foundation in Paris, the David Roberts Art Foundation in London and Nomas Foundation in Rome. The exhibition, interpreted in a different language almost simultaneously at each foundation, is based on mechanisms of writing and transcription. Translation should be considered both the medium and the shared language of the whole project.
The project takes its title from the mythological sirens' song, which invents itself in the ear of its addressee. Here "Le Stade des Sirènes", is conceived as a group of "written objects": absent but described, motionless but translated, unique but repeated, mute but transcribed.

"Le Stade des Sirènes" is made up of an installation of Figures, a group of named, empty plinths (The Reef ), which acts as a space from which are emitted layers of speech and text. Actors will occasionally interact with this space, reading, memorising and rehearsing fragments of script and dialogue. Sometimes The Reef will remain silent. A group of framed Instruction Pieces hung on the wall will outline a series of gestures and acts. These will change over the course of the exhibition. A writer (The Copyist), present at all times, will transcribe the evolution of the exhibition day after day. The foundation's collection will be included through a series of photographs of their storages, in which all crates will be named (Stock Figures).
A written contract, drawn up by lawyer Daniel McClean, will outline the conditions for the exchange and the conservation of copies of sculptures exchanged between the three foundations' collections (The Exchange (The Horse, the Cobblestone, Above the Weather)).

The exhibition is a collection of narrative fragments, playing with accumulations and disappearances, survivals and hauntings. From inscription to oral tradition, polyphony to cacophony, "Le Stade des Sirènes" explores its own remains and is constructed on its own echoes, misunderstandings, partial interpretations and incomplete memories. The exhibition is conceived as a series of fossils organising their own archeology.

The exhibition is organised in collaboration with The David Roberts Art Foundation, London and Nomas Foundation, Rome and will be opened simultaneously
in the three Foundations:
- The David Roberts Art Foundation, London 19.03.2010 - 24.04.2010
- Nomas Foundation, Rome 16.04.2010 - 14.05.2010

TALK by Daniel McClean

Daniel McClean is leading two practices in parallel, one as a lawyer and the other as an independent curator.
Both activities led him to work with artists in the development of contracts, as a lawyer defining the limits and rules of an artwork in relationship to ownership and secondly, as a producer of projects in which the artist's contract defines the creative framework.
In 2008, Daniel McClean and Lisa Rosendahl initiated 'Offer and Exchange: Sites of Negotiation in Contemporary Art', an ongoing series of site-specific commissions inviting artists to use legal contracts in relation to different contexts : the commercial gallery, the corporate collection, the art fair the public institution, the private collection, the auction house, the art magazine. In this framework, Daniel McClean has been collaborating with artists such as Carey Young, Santiago Sierra, Robert Barry/Stefan Bruggemann, Goldin + Senneby and Superflex.
Through different 'cases studies' Daniel McClean will draft a history of the artist's contract being both used through conceptual art and institutional critique and how his two activities overlap and nourish each other in this subject.

This talk was also conceived in relation to the two projects following the programme:
"Le Stade des Sirènes"by Etienne Chambaud and Vincent Normand (April 2010)
and Goldin+Senneby's solo exhibition (June 2010).
