Film 1 : At the Paintings – 60 min
Directed by Francesca Berselli and Sarah Dorival
In 2015, Alexandre D’Alessio, a Marseille-based member of the group, commissioned 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 covers more than 4,500 m² and comprises an entire school complex: kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school. It was in 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 9th Concept—chose to organize an artistic residency. Following the four-month residency, the exhibition—featuring various multidisciplinary events—was open to the public from June through October 2015, welcoming over 37,000 visitors.

For a 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 highlighted our relationship to consumption: on one side of each label was a drawing in black pencil, blood, or India ink by one of the 17 artists invited to participate, and on the other side was a fictitious, even absurd price (009€, 109€, 69€, 16/9€, 99€). This urban project has traveled throughout France and to major capitals around the world (London, Istanbul, Los Angeles, Tokyo…), with labels hung on street furniture and the doors of department stores.

With Courts-Circuits, six art lovers selected by a jury following a call for applications became the hosts of an original work of slow art for life by six urban artists: Madame, Manolo Mesa, Isaac Cordal, Matth Velvet, Rero and Rouge, an artist from Bordeaux at the center of this idea. Supported by the Desperados Foundation for Urban Art, Rouge was able to create this collaborative experience that allowed them to think about a different art system. In exchange for this lifetime loan, the ambassadors commit to bringing the work to life for the general public by taking it on a tour of Bordeaux at least once a month.
