La possibilité de révolution - Solo Exhibition 04.06.10 - 06.09.10

Site-specific installation exploring the possibility of revolution.
The artists work under a 'Tree of Liberty' planted around 1789 as a symbol of the French Revolution, making a one to one encounter with the museum visitors and workers. They take a mould of a person's finger, a trace of an intimate moment with a stranger.
The installation also reflects and proposes a challenge to the way in which museums are structured and present objects to us. They use the former communal Village bread oven as an exhibition space, placing plaster casts of the people's fingers, organising them in clear structures, organic piles, groups and individual units.
There are three traditional museum display cabinets placed in the space, the artworks move in and out of them, sometimes they abandon the cabinets to be inside the oven, or in a bird's nest in the stone wall.

Le Corps Collectif is part of an ongoing research into collective actions, this works was made during a workshop, part of a 1 month residency at Le Cite des Insectes, Limoges, France. Our project of the collective body explores notions of utopia, social and political structures, the local and the global.

This animation was made during a worshop we gave during our residency at Le Cite des Insectes. Ten participants create different actions with plaster fingers made from moulds of the workers and visitors to the museum. We explore the possibilities of creating a new action from the trace.
