THURSDAY 08/10: Residency Part 2
Film 1: Aux Tableaux - 60 min
Directed by Francesca Berselli and Sarah Dorival
In 2015, Alexandre D’Alessio, a Marseille-based member of the group, curated and organized the exhibition “Aux Tableaux!” in a former school in Marseille. He invited 40 international artists to take over 2,500 m² of space during a four-month on-site residency. Located in the heart of Marseille, between the prefecture and the Cours Julien, the former Saint Thomas d’Aquin school spans more than 4,500 m² and comprises an entire school complex: preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school. It was at this school, which had been closed since 2012, that the Juxtapoz association—along with Alexandre D’Alessio, the event’s artistic director and a member of 9ème Concept—chose to coordinate an artist residency. After a four-month residency, the exhibition—featuring a variety of multidisciplinary events—was open to the public from June through October 2015, welcoming more than 37,000 visitors.

For one week, Alexandre d’Alessio, Bruno Leyval, Clément Laurentin, Franck Pellegrino, Gilbert Petit, Jean Jacques Tachdjian, Jerk 45, Joachim Romain, Juan, LapinThur, LeJam, Mast Cora, Mattia Lullini, Ned, Niark, Nick Torgoff, Pedro, Romain Froquet, Stéphane Carricondo, The Blind, and Theo Lopez took turns taking over the space.

Film 5: “The Labels” – 3 min
Directed by Ghislain de Vaulx
In 2006, the “Labels” concept shed light on our relationship with consumption: on one side of each label was a drawing in black pencil, red chalk, or India ink by one of the 17 artists invited to participate, and on the other, a fictitious—or even absurd—price (€009, €109, €69, 16/9€, €99). This urban project traveled throughout France and to major capitals around the world (London, Istanbul, Los Angeles, Tokyo…), with labels affixed to street furniture and the doors of department stores.

In 2012, the 9e Concept collective of painters—founded more than 20 years ago by Stéphane Carricondo, Ned, and Jerk 45—invented an unconventional way of experiencing art, without compromising its artistic ambitions or its credo of “art accessible to all.” This film tells the story of the collective from its beginnings through the “Peinture Fraiche” exhibition at Beaubourg in 2008.

With Courts-Circuits, six art lovers selected by a jury following a call for applications became the hosts of an original work of art lent for life by six urban artists: Madame, Manolo Mesa, Isaac Cordal, Matth Velvet, Rero and Rouge, the Bordeaux artist at the heart of the idea. Supported by the Desperados Foundation for Urban Art, Rouge was able to create this collaborative experiment, which led to the creation of a different artistic system. In exchange for this lifetime loan, the ambassadors undertake to bring the work to life for the general public by taking it on a tour of Bordeaux at least once a month.
