NINE AND A HALF WEEKS’ FINISSAGE

Step 1 : Scraps Scenography

Step 2. Let’s suck paintbrushes !


Nine and a Half Weeks’ finissage

performed by
Caroline Champion





Did you ever try to suck a paintbrush ?


In terms of taste,
using paintbrush to eat some food preparations
(tomato cream, liquid cheese, marmelade, melted chocolate) can be extremely interesting :

Paintbrush’s hair absorbs it, depending on the texture, and releases slowly flavors in the whole mouth,
meanwhile it strokes tongue, palate, etc…

Things taste different !



( You’ll never look at your painbrush in the same way )

SCRAPS SCENOGRAPHY : NINE AND A HALF WEEKS’ FINISSAGE

.

Cette installation a été réalisée dans la galerie Elaine Lévy Project à Bruxelles, en janvier 2010, pour clore un projet développé par la galerie (Nine and a Half Weeks).

Il s’agissait d’interroger la notion de finissage, en l’inscrivant dans une réflexion plus vaste sur les restes (que reste-t-il de ces 9 semaines 1/2 ?).

En guise de préambule aux Neuf Semaines 1/2, un ExpérimenTable avait été réalisé juste avant le commencement du projet; reproduit sous forme de Nature Morte il en devient reste, trace, clôture. – Les 9 semaines sont là, en creux, à l’intérieur de cette boucle.

SCRAPS SCENOGRAPHY

Step 1 : To come full circle

.

Still life installation : Scraps scenography

.

I met Elaine at Slick in october,

just before the begining of Nine and a Half Weeks.


I made a performance called « ExpérimenTable » with her,

while she was telling me about the future project.


Then, we realised that actually the performance was

something like Nine and a Half preamble…

.

.

Now, everything is done.

Nine and a half weeks after,

what remains from the performance is only

a table

and some dried vegetables we didn’t eat that day.

Scraps. Still life.
