Gilles COLLARD

Des différentes formes de lecture du temps

Cycle Artwork, life and way of being
A reading of the twentieth century and its heritage from art and commitment.


• first encounter: “In the name of …” the conceptions of an ideal
• second encounter: Different forms of time reading
• third encounter: The aims of Art
• fourth encounter: The biographical commitment
• fifth encounter: Styles of Existence

A whole twentieth century can be read in the tension between the exigency of the artwork and the anxiety of life and in the attempts to resorb each other, the surrealists (the resolution of life by the art) to the situationists (the overcoming of art through life), two points of the century-old iceberg failed on the continent, drifting revolutions. These seminar sessions will aim through different examples to illuminate this knot of work and life. Between heroes and traitors, there arises the question of the rules that can guide action, orient the forms of art and thought. The old fetish of art is nothing if it does not change our ways of being. More than ever suspended on a horizon of expectation, our gestures seek today foundation and legitimacy beyond this sharing between the urgency of the days and the requirement of the creation. Perhaps ways of being and livelihoods today are a response to a fragile and uncertain legacy of the twentieth century.

Gilles Collard founded the journal Pylône in 2003.
