M6 : Exhibition/Residency as A School - Art Container avec le programme de résidence Polymer de Tallinn, Estonie, du 15 août au 15 septembre, sous une possible résidence du 15 août au 15 novembre 2011

"M6" propose le retour à la base, l'école d'art. Par son concept de performance d'exposition-résidence, les artistes seront invités à une rencontre d'études internationales en Estonie sur l'esthétique de la résistance, l'attitude d'artiste. Cette rencontre se fera via le rapprochement de la Art Container, principalement des artistes estoniens et russes qui habitent les lieux bétonnés de la Factory Polymer, à Tallinn, dont leur représentant du Québec, Sylvain Breton, connu localement pour ses participations au sein du collectif Non Grata d'Estonie, de 2005 à 2011 sous le nom de "Brownhair".

Formée de différents pays, cette cohabitation d'artistes atypiques et institutionnels se fera par l'examen des pressions qui auront amenées l'annulation de la biennale européenne Manifesta 6 de 2006, à Chypre. Cette dichotomie des attitudes n'est pas sans rappeler la célèbre proposition de 1969, à Berne, de Harald Szeemann "When Attitudes Become Form", immatérielle ou non loin d'une même confrontation de l'anti-forme, elle reprendra ici l'ouvrage des 12 textes de l'échec d'un art de type mondial en ladite biennale internationale, ce que nos institutionnels et nos atypiques ne sont pas, n'en font par partie, mais seront toutefois réunis par cette distance tout aussi esthétique qu'atypique que le local estonien en peine d'espoir et au fait de ce spectacle répétif du culturel et de l'économie où émergent d'importantes subventions.

De cet art de résistance et thème principal, aucun dossier ne sera juré et seule l'expérience de l'institution suffira pour les artistes sélectionnés. En tant qu'événement performance, l'exposition-résidence saura-t-elle se mettre en plan et faire ainsi équipe avec l'association hôte, le tout en rupture radicale des codes de production de milieux organisés, subventionnés et structurés par l'économie, laquelle est déjà perçue comme seule instance de contrôle et de domination du marché de l'art? L'examen proposera alors comme relecture ladite documentation biennale par une occupation de l'Est, soit par le trûchement du vide ou du néant pour l'un, du non-artiste ou du contemporain pour l'autre, d'une lucidité de la professionnalisation de l'art ou du succès pour certains, ou encore d'un abandon véritable par le lerteur performeur.

M6 : Exhibition/Residency as A School - The Art Container with The Polymer Residency Program, Tallinn, Estonia, August 15th - September 15th, with a possibile residency from August 15th to November 15th, 2011

"M6" offers a return to the base, the art school. Through its exhibition-residence performance concept, artists will be invited to an international study meeting with Estonia on the aesthetics of resistance, an artist's attitude. This grouping will be done by bringing together the Art Container, mainly Estonians and Russians, some of whom come from outside the country, but live in the places, including their representative in Quebec, Sylvain Breton, known for his participation in the Not Grata art collective between 2005 and 2011 under his pseudonym "Brownhair Blond".

Made up of different countries, this coexistence of the alternative and the atypical will be done by examining the pressures that led to the European Biennial Manifesta 6 of 2006 cancellation, in Cyprus. This attitude mixture of the institutional and the atypical, a dear theme and rich in aesthetic content of Harald Szeemann's famous 1969 exhibition in Bern "When Attitudes Become Form," will this time be confronted, of course, between art and texts on the mainstream issue, what they are not, not being part of, but more interesting will make the bitter realization of a local reality much harder, lacking hope, than the reality of guests on this Atlantic side of the world where artists emerge mainly from major subsidies.

In other terms, within this art of resistance no submitted dossier will be juried and only the experience of an art university institution will suffice. This willingness exhibition-residency performance art form in the Art Container, in an outdated, but known Polymer Factory, will be in production rupture convention with gallery and museum well organized, subsidized because economy wise structured. The exam will propose then a re-reading of the said biennial documentation, but in the East occupation, and again, by this rubbing of the vacuum for one, the contemporary for the other, an identity of the professionalization for some or success and abandonment for the other.
