Performance, art & science workshop symposium.

The concept of microperformativity denotes the current trend in performance art to destabilise the usually dominant place of the human scale. It questions the microscopic world and its biological and technological agents as new actors of art.

Presentation of Pollen, le sens où tournera la ronde, in collaboration with Jean-Marc Chomaz as part of the project le murmure du bouleau with Nicolas Visez. At the LadHyX of the Ecole Polytechnique.

The rest of the programme is available at https://www.legenerateur.com/spectacle/de-la-performance-a-microperformativite/. Registration at maxime.lafforgue@legenerateur.com

Langue des Bois, alcove for plant oracle. Produced in collaboration with Shoï and INRAe PIAF.

Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 November, from 2pm to 7pm, Houlocène, Antre Peaux, Bourges.

A carpet serves as an alcove for three ficus trees. Installed on this carpet, with their feet symbolically planted on the ground, the spectators can observe the trees' answers to different questions: questions that we want to ask them, about them, about ourselves, about our relationships. The questions make the plants vibrate, with a vibration that is specific to each individual plant and to each question. This shuddering, visible on a screen in front of the carpet, is translated into sound: it is the "answer" of the trees. Enigmatic, the phonemes emitted constitute a language potentially understandable by all living beings. The tree becomes an oracle.

With the support of Ursulab, the DRAC and the Centre Val de Loire Region.

This year we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the unique artistic proposal that is Champ d'expression. Contemporary artists are invited to a farm to live for a while and develop a research and creative work in situ, which stems from this experience. What better place than a farm to invite art to the countryside? What stronger symbol for rurality than the farming world, its activities, its buildings, and the way it shapes our landscape? Every year, farms open their doors to La Fourmi-e, welcoming artists and the public, and participating in this artistic and human adventure. In 2022, the journey from farm to farm will highlight farmers who are taking over or setting up a business at a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to hand down farms. Farms, laboratories of mixed lives and shared experiences where the question of an agriculture of the common is raised, intimately linked to the future challenges of our societies. For this 10th edition, 7 artists, 6 farms.

La Fourmi-e goes back to the source of the adventure, where the artistic circuit laid the foundations of its identity, carried then, with determination, by volunteers, farmers and pioneering artists. To honour this early energy, the association decided to invite these artists from the first edition again. 10 years later, 4 out of 6 are back in the adventure, joined by 3 other artists, on new farms.

From 2 to 30 October in Central Brittany, an event called la fourmi-e

Forest of Jalognes (18300), place called "le Palais", Saturday 25 June from 3pm to 11pm

Who is this forest right next to us? We sometimes walk through it, without really knowing it. Neither very big nor majestic, it is nevertheless a complex and organised place of life, from which we have gradually disassociated ourselves. Yet we are the forest. Our proposal is to meet for an afternoon and an evening in the communal forest of Jalognes to rediscover it in its complexity, its beauty and its fragility. Personalities from science, forestry and the world of living art will be there as "translators".

A national event coordinated by COAL
