The 2009 edition of the @rt Outsiders Festival —celebrating this year its tenth anniversary—focuses on extreme environments.
These are environments that were, until recently, uninhabited by human beings and that contemporary science and technology turn into "inhabitable" places (Antarctica, underwater world, outer space, deserts); but also those that are becoming "uninhabitable" due to the impacts of our way of life (pollution, technological accidents, economical pressures and global warming).
(Un)Inhabitable? – Art of Extreme Environments presents works that explore the meaning of living in extreme environments, in the imaginary realm as well as in the physical one, in the political, social and environmental fields as well as in the poetic ones.

L'édition 2009 du Festival @rt Outsiders – qui célèbre cette année son dixième anniversaire – a choisi de s'intéresser aux environnements extrêmes.
Ces environnements sont ceux, jusqu'à présent « inhabités » par les êtres humains, et que la technologie et la science contemporaines nous rendent « habitables » (Antarctique, environnement subaquatique, espace extra-terrestre, déserts), mais aussi ceux qui deviennent « inhabitables » par nos actions et modes de vie (pollution, accidents technologiques, impératifs économiques et réchauffement climatique).
(In)Habitable ? L'art des environnements extrêmes, présente un ensemble d'oeuvres qui explorent dans l'imagin...
In Buddhism, the fundamental concept of "impermanence" teaches that all living and non-living objects are in an unrelenting constant state of change. Time, existence, and consciousness itself are nothing more than a series of eternally changing impermanent instants. For the unprecedented frenzy of development that is modern China there is perhaps no more fitting a metaphor than dust. It's a sign of the old world and a sign of the new world. A sign of the ubiquitous concrete high-rise block and cavernous construction site. A sign of the demolished lanes and dwellings of ancient architecture, as well as a sign of pollution and an insatiable industrial appetite. In China, dust is the ever-looming particulate by-product of the physical metamorphosis that envelops the entire country and its people. For photography a...
En 2009, le barrage des Trois Gorges aura inondé des centaines de km2 dans le centre de la Chine. Yang Yi, né dans une petite ville construite sur le Fleuve Yangtsé, verra son village natal englouti par les eaux. Drame auquel le jeune photographe consacre sa première série, intitulée « Uprooted » (déracinés).
La fin d'un monde qui n'est pas encore là mais qui sera là demain. Et Yang Yi a su exprimer cet entre-deux avec génie : dans ses images coexistent le passé, le présent et le futur.
Ses photographies prises au moyen format nous montrent un village fantomatique submergé par l'eau. Les quelques habitants, équipés de masques et de tubas, posent pour la postérité, rejouant leur v...
m97 Gallery Shanghai is pleased to present "EXQUISITE CORPSE: China Surreal", a dynamic group exhibition of photographic works. Co-curated by Mathieu Borysevicz and m97 Gallery, this exhibition uses the Surrealists' game of Exquisite Corpse as a means to explore the collective subconscious of contemporary Chinese artists through the medium of photography. Twenty emerging and established artists present uncanny images arranged in a delicately composed sequence of non-sequiturs that reveal the surreality of today's China.
"Poetry must be made by all and not by one." - Comte de Lautréamont
The Exquisite Corpse game began in France in 1925 around a table of poets and artists. In this improvisational game a player would write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to cover part of it, and ...
