Olivier Bardin

Centre d'edition contemporaine, Geneve

You belong to me I belong to you. The exhibition challenge the image of the person. Visitors are invited into an empty space, and the show really commences as the artist asks them to become the only pictures to be seen. Thus, the self-image is the real object of the show. The apparatus reveals the way this image is built up from the other people's perception.


comunicato stampa

Olivier Bardin’s exhibitions challenge the image of the person. Visitors are invited into an empty exhibition space, and the show really commences as the artist asks them to become the only pictures to be seen. Thus, the self-image is the real object of the exhibition. The apparatus reveals the way this image is built up from the other people’s perception; spectators, at the same time, are watching and being watched. Eventually, they constitute a community based on mutual confidence, where perception acts as a self-balancing device.

The apparatus is made of 6 elements:
1. The place.
2. The audience.
3. The presence of Olivier Bardin or his delegate.
4. An opening statement expressed by Bardin (or his delegate) in the local language. This statement is about the desire of self-exhibition and may vary depending on the context.
5. A duration, up to each spectator.
6. Possibly: sound and picture recording equipment.

With the help of the apparatus, the spectator accepts to give up control over his/her own image. From this, he/she gets an unexpected subjective and artistic experience. For his show at the Centre d’édition contemporaine, Bardin meets with 16 people from Geneva, one at a time within the empty exhibition space. Each meeting is an exhibition of the person which starts with the statement: “I can make of you whatever I want with my view, as you can make of me whatever you want”. The duration of the exhibition is left up to the two protagonists.

Pictures taken by the artist on this occasion are an extension of these exhibitions of the person. They are turned into an edition (co-edited with Blancpain Art Contemporain, Geneva) and are presented in a site-specific display at the Centre d’édition contemporaine. About the Centre d’édition contemporaine The Centre d’édition contemporaine (Cec) combines the production of printed matter and multiples, and a program of exhibitions which testify at the same time to the specific field of edition and to contemporary art. Swiss and international artists, emerging or established, are invited each year to exhibit and to realize an edition: prints, publications, artist's books or multiples.

The Cec has produced, among others, editions of John Armleder, Monica Bonvicini, Claude Closky, François Curlet, Andreas Dobler, Vidya Gastaldon & Jean-Michel Wicker, Fabrice Gygi, Thomas Hirschhorn, Karen Kilimnik, Jakob Kolding, Elke Krystufek, Jérôme Leuba, Olivier Mosset, Gianni Motti, Kristin Oppenheim, Giuseppe Penone, Mai-Thu Perret, Florian Pumhösl, Anne-Julie Raccoursier, Christophe Rey, Markus Schinwald, Roman Signer, Rosemarie Trockel, Luc Tuymans, Emmett Williams and Heimo Zobernig.

Vent'anni di UnDo.Net, un'opera d'arte ideata da artisti che hanno coinvolto centinaia di altri autori e operatori nella costruzione di un ecosistema, di un dispositivo che ha influito a più livelli sul fare arte.
UnDo.Net è un dispositivo di creazione di valore immateriale; pensato come "ecosistema" della cultura contemporanea, come modello partecipativo che sviluppi la condivisione di ricerche, risorse e conoscenze, la collaborazione e lo scambio.
In questi 20 anni UnDo.Net ha perseguito il suo scopo: inventare un nuovo spazio, che prima non esisteva, di sperimentazione e di ricerca, di confronto e di dialogo.


Oggi

I risultati di questo lavoro collettivo sono riuniti nelle migliaia di pagine online che raccolgono la storia di tutti noi che ci occupiamo d'arte. UnDo.Net è oggi un archivio vivo e vibrante dal profilo internazionale che contiene e collega tra loro approfondimenti e documenti su autori, eventi, situazioni, ricerche e pensiero. Un patrimonio di risorse per studiare, comprendere e per sviluppare nuovi progetti.
Anche in futuro UnDo.Net rimarra' consultabile e a disposizione di tutti gratuitamente.


Domani

Le differenti personalita' che costituiscono il team di UnDo.Net svilupperanno le proprie diverse professionalita'.
