Projet
Project
Durant sa résidence à Sierre, Luis Miguel Suro a
développé un projet artistique personnel et animé un
workshop avec des étudiants de l’ECAV. Sous le
titre de «SWISS MADE», les différents travaux sont
exposés dans le Hall d’entrée de l’ECAV du 10 au 14
décembre 2001.
When I was invited to be an artist in residence at the
école cantonale d'art du Valais in Sierre, I thought it
was a great opportunity to get away from my normal
practice as an artist in Mexico. And considering that
I am here for only 6 weeks, working in a very different
place to which I am used to, I have decided to create
a dialogue with the environment.
Présentation de l’exposition
«Invité dans le cadre du programme Artiste en Résidence
organisé par le CRIC, j’ai trouvé dans ma résidence
de six semaines à Sierre l’occasion de m’éloigner de
mes pratiques habituelles d’artiste vivant à Mexico
et de travailler dans un milieu totalement différent de
celui auquel je suis habitué. A ce titre, je fus amené
à ouvrir un dialogue avec ce nouvel environnement.
«Swiss made», tel est le titre que j’ai choisi pour
l’exposition. Mon intention était de jouer avec l’idée
des produits de masse fabriqués en Suisse. J’ai
donc réalisé une série de sculptures petit format dans
lesquelles je fais allusion à la tradition et aux origines
de la fabrication du chocolat. Ces sculptures représentent
des prototypes pour différentes formes de chocolat.
Parallèlement à ce travail, j’ai animé un workshop
avec un groupe d’étudiants de l’ECAV. Le but était
de tourner une vidéo dans les montagnes, loin de
l’environnement direct de l’Ecole. Désirant éprouver
personnellement les conditions climatiques propres
à ce lieu et à cette periode de l’année, je me suis
mis moi-même en scène, m’essayant à la pratique
d’un sport hivernal à la mode, le snowboard.
Les étudiants et moi-même avons travaillé en étroite
collaboration sur chaque étape de ce processus :
> le tournage des séquences vidéo
> une documentation photo du tournage
> le choix du son ou de la musique de la cassette finale
> l’édition de la vidéo.
Exhibition
"Swiss Made" is the title I have choosen for the
exhibition to play with the idea of mass comsumption
products made in Switzerland. I am working on a
series of small format sculptures in which I intend to
make a reference both to the tradition and origins
of chocolate manufacturing. The sculptures are prototypes for chocolate forms.
Workshop
Paralell to my residency, I am running a workshop
with a group of the students from the school. I have
decided to attempt an outdoors project which relies
on the weather conditions (november-december).
We will make a video piece in the mountains, away
from the School environment, of myself trying to
snowboard.
In making this work, I hope to create a tension between
two cultures within the contemporary practice of
snowboarding in this specific landscape.
The workshop will consist of the production of a video:
> the shooting of the video footage
> photo documentation of the shoot
> the selection of the sound or music for the final piece
> the editing of the video.
The students and I have collaborated on every stage
of this process.
Luis Miguel Suro
En réalisant ce travail, j’espère avoir pu créer et rendre
manifeste une tension entre deux cultures très éloignées.»
