27.08.2017 – Manipulating the collections / audio poetic performances

Eric Therer, Vincent Tholomé – Poetry Performances poetry
+ poetic cinematic mix by Paradise Now
+ Conferences Manipulating the collections: crossed methods

During the preparation of the exhibition Les attractions de l’homme lumière presented at Chateau Gilson in La Louvière with historical documents of the Mundaneum (centre of archives & temporary exhibitions in Mons), Les Éts Decoux (artistic publisher) and Raphaëlle Camille asked each other questions about documents, collections, exhibitions or publications. This meeting at Château Gilson is an opportunity to clarify the points of view and to indicate some similarities or false pretenses between the practices developed in an archive center and the experiments carried out around the artist’s book.

After this discussion, Transonic and its alter label Transonic proposes a poetic cinematic mix by Paradise Now followed during a friendly brunch followed by surreal and staggered solo reading performances* by Belgian performers/authors  Eric Therer (sound creation Stephan Ink) and Vincent Tholomé (The John Cage Experiences) joined by Paradise Now for a final improvisation.

*on the theme of ARTour’s biennial, which is the collection and the collector
