60 Les Prairies's artists HELEN MIRRA Hourly Directional Field Notation, Arizonan Sonoran Desert, 6 January, 2012, 2012. Photography of the artist. Courtesy of the artist and galery Nelson-Freeman, Paris. Co-production Les Ateliers de Rennes 2012, Frac Bretagne. Avec le soutien des Verrières – résidences-ateliers de Pont-Aven et d'Itinéraire Bis – Galerie du Dourven. Walking is an integral part of Helen Mirra's method of production. It structures her choice of process. The works realised for Les Prairies result from a process begun in 2010 which she has used from exhibition to exhibition and from country to country, the idea being that at each exhibition the fruits of an earlier residence elsewhere are displayed while she works on new stuff while in residence. Thus, from one exhibition to another a nomadic oeuvre gets created indirectly, with titles such as Field Recordings and Field Notation that reflect her outdoor habits. The works displayed at Rennes were produced in the winter of 2012 in Arizona; those that she has produced in Brittany during the summer of 2012, between Brocéliande, Pont-Aven and Trédrez-Locquémeau, will be presented in Tokyo. Hourly Directional Field Notation, Arizonan Sonoran Desert are the fruit of a week's walking in the Sonoran Desert after the manner of the early American pioneers. On every one of her daily perambulations Helen Mirra made a print on the way. She would cover a stone she found on the ground with green ink and apply it to a length of raw linen which she kept in her back-pack, folded like a map. This direct 'positive' print method recalls the Japanese pictorial technique known as gyotaku, which consists of covering a freshly caught fish with ink in order to make a realistic rubbing of it. Mirra's marks are "neither photographic nor descriptive", making it impossible to pin them down geographically. They are pure materiality, translating the reciprocal imprint left by the artist on the landscape and by the landscape on the artist. H. M. tr. J.H. Born in 1970 in New York (United States), lives and works in Cambridge (United States).
FRéDéRIC MOSER & PHILIPPE SCHWINGER Alles wird wieder gut, 2006. Courtesy of the artists, galery Jocelyn Wolff, Paris, and galery KOW, Berlin. Les Prairies's artists Frédéric Moser and Philippe Schwinger's video installations lie somewhere between theatre, performance and film. They show the confrontation of figures involved in reconstructions, discussions and accusations. The event being discussed is never shown; it is defined after collective debate. Par les villages is a collection of five films, one of which entitled Tumeur has never been seen before. The title is a reference to a recurrent social structure in Moser and Schwinger's work, that of the village – a closed cell torn between withdrawal and exodus, community spirit and egocentricity, and exposed to new types of insecurity like the industrialisation of agriculture, redundancy, unemployment and so on. The title Alles wird wieder gut – Everything's going to be alright – (2006), references Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin's film Tout va bien (1972). It transposes the parents' picket line to a village in former East Germany, where it has continued since the collapse of the Wall, acting as a mythology for children faced with unemployment and torn between joint action, the urge to get away and the desire to stay. The teenagers in Cupidon grandit – Cupid grows up – (2011) are not actors but amateurs filmed acting in a role-play in which the cards they drew imposed on them an identity to be masked or unmasked – villager or werewolf. Donnerstag (2006) shows a young agricultural worker caught up in the repetitive work of machine milking. Acting Facts (2003) is a man acting out stories told by soldiers guilty of inhuman conduct in what appear to be Vietnamese villages. H. M. tr. J.H. Born respectively in 1966 and 1961 in Saint-Imier (Switzerland), they lives and works in Brussels (Belgium).
