The catalogue devoted to the exhibition 1:1 x temps, quantites,
proportions et fuites(25.10.2003 to 20.12.2003 in Dijon)
ushers in a series of publications about group shows held in
the FRAC Bourgogne exhibition venue in Dijon--shows bringing
together works from its collection and productions made specifically
for the venue. It includes a series of interviews with the artists
involved, conducted by art critics and exhibition curators,
and an interview with Eva González-Sancho, director of
the FRAC Bourgogne.
1:1 x temps, quantites, proportions et fuite is a “programme“
exhibition dealing with the artistic orientations of the FRAC
Bourgogne, as they were defined by Eva González-Sancho
when she took up her post in 2003. These orientations focus
essentially on the exploration of the theme of space from several
angles: the public space from the viewpoint of legislation,
individual liberty, social linkage, architecture and city- or
town-planning; and the issue of the exhibition space and its
different parameters—production, time-frame, reception
and social practice—for which this group show puts forward
an approach.
The interview between Eva González-Sancho and Frederic
Oyharçabal covers the different aspects of the exhibition
and the working processes, both applied and called upon to be
developed in future projects. It sketches the outlines of an
exhibition and acquisitions policy which goes “beyond
events”, based on an on-going accompaniment and follow-up
of the artists’ work in relation to an editorial and publications
policy marked by the temporal hindsight required by any production
of writings about exhibitions.
The interviews with the artists do not focus solely on the works
on view. The reader is invited to make his/her way inside the
catalogue, and undertake constant to-ings and fro-ings between
the different interviews and conversations, in order to see
the goal of this publication gradually taking shape—a
publication which strives not to “confine” the approach
adopted by each artist within an idea, or theme.
