Hulaut & Clarke reveal their artistic journey through objets, editions, multiples and artists’ books that they have collected along the way. Complimentary objects have also been borrowed from both public and private collections.<\/p>\n

The ground floor exhibition space is given over to the archives of NCDGQAD (Nous cherchons des gens qui aiment dessiner), a project by Gilles Mah\u00e9 and Jean-Philippe Lem\u00e9e. NCDGQAD was an art school by correspondence created in the 1990’s. Mah\u00e9 and Lem\u00e9e both imagined and put into practice a veritable pedagogical institution to teach all codes of representation. They even created their own evaluation and correction system. This project is situated in the continuity of ideas already explored by Robert Filliou, an emblematic artist notably for Hulaut and Clarke.<\/p>\n

Upstairs, Pierre Belou\u00efn and Optical Sound propose a new version of the installation \u00abThe Circulating Library\u00bb, created for the first time in 2008 in collaboration with Claire Moreux & Olivier Huz. This work is an attempt to represent all the possible relation at the the heart of the independent artists’ record-label, Optical Sound. It takes the form of a complex molecule inspired by the drawings of Buckminster Fuller. Comprising all the edited recordings released by Optical Sound since 1997, the artwork is destined to grow and grow as new records will be released. To listen to the integrality of the recordings, one would have to dismantle the composition, deconstruct the links.<\/p>\n

Numerous vitrines have been dispersed throughout the m\u00e9diath\u00e8que. Hulaut and Clarke have chosen to show the relation that the art world has with books and other publishing supports. In effect, since the industrial revolution, artists haven’t only engaged in the reproduction of their work, they have also appropriated all sorts of tools (photography, printmaking) to produce multiple objects (postcards, pin-badges, matches, toys).<\/p>\n

Si quelques pi\u00e8ces proviennent de collections priv\u00e9es et publiques, un grand nombre d\u2019entre elles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9colt\u00e9es par Hulaut et Clarke sur leur chemin. Certains objets multim\u00e9dias (CD, DVD) et des ouvrages sur les artistes pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s sont empruntables \u00e0 la M\u00e9diath\u00e8que.<\/p>\n

Not all the objects presented in the vitrines share the same status : most are true miniature works of art, others are ephemeral objects that contributed to the making of an artwork, but there are also commercial products that have been derived from various art practices. Most of the objects in the exhibition belong to Hulaut and Clarke. Others have been borrowed from both public and private collections. Certain multimedia objects (CDs & DVDs) have been acquired by the M\u00e9diath\u00e8que and can be borrowed by the public.<\/p>\n
