Mathieu Glaymann est un père en colère. Membre de la FCPE 93, il se bat contre l’Education nationale, notamment en envoyant des e-mails énergiques aux rédactions (« Nous ne lâcherons pas l’affaire ! Dans l’école de son fils, à Epinay-sur-Seine, la situation ne s’arrange pas : cette semaine, il y a trois profs absents non-remplacés. Du 11 janvier au 15 mars, Mathieu Glaymann a occupé, avec d’autres parents d’élèves, l’école maternelle Jean-Jaurès-Sud. En ce moment, c’est une épidémie.

Panoramas do Sul - Videobrasil Em busca do Outro A mostra Panoramas do Sul do 18º Festival de Arte Contemporânea SESC_Videobrasil traça um diagrama dinâmico, que dá visibilidade a um expressivo recorte da produção artística mais recente do eixo Sul geopolítico (América Latina, Caribe, África, Oriente Médio, Europa do Leste, Sul e Sudeste asiático, e Oceania). Seu recorte nos convoca a encontrar um conjunto de questões estéticas, políticas, sociais e subjetivas que caracterizam tanto a contemporaneidade, de modo mais geral, quanto as tensões específicas típicas desse território-rede e de seus contextos e trocas. As dinâmicas e perspectivas desse diagrama constroem múltiplas aproximações, favorecendo um intenso diálogo entre distintas formas de expressão artística, visões de mundo, apropriações de toda ordem e rearticulações da tradição e da história. Tudo isso sob a ótica do Sul – e do conjunto de deslocamentos, passagens e trajetos entre esse território e o Norte. Densidades possíveis

Private Matters :: Ceren Erdem, Jaime Schwartz, and Lisa Williams Even art has left the spaces of enclosure in order to enter into the open circuits of the bank. - Gilles Deleuze, “Postscript on the Societies of Control,” 1992 In 1970, at the height of the Vietnam War, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, opened the now-seminal exhibition Information, which posited that art could not function in isolation from rapidly expanding global networks. Now, almost 45 years later, McShine’s prescient remarks are tinged with an increased urgency. In this context, we might ask, how should the role of the artist shift? In response, some artists adopt strategies of reversing entrenched notions of inside and outside, suggesting that power dynamics have no place in this new situation as traditional hierarchical relationships become more fluid and even-keeled. Trevor Paglen’s (USA) photographs approach the inside/outside dialectic from an institutional standpoint.

Towards a Militant Conceptualism Towards a Militant Conceptualism is a short hybrid film dealing with the political capacity of art in the contemporary world. The film explores artist’s experiences of protest, confronting agents of the State and questioning the origins of law. This is an open argument on political activism and its effectiveness with the proposition of art as a form of protest. Seemab Gul studied Fine Art and then MA in Film at the London Film School.
