Offered jointly by CENTQUATRE (Paris) and PACT Zollverein (Essen), the program Feldstärke International provides the opportunity to arts students from all disciplines (design, dance, cinema, circus arts, landscape art, visual and plastic arts, music, video, theatre, numeric arts), to work in closer collaboration.

On this basic principle, 49 students a year will be brought together for a series of three workshops that will take place at the partners’ venues: in January at CENTQUATRE, in May at PACT Zollverein and finally at a third partner’s venue.

For its first year, Feldstärke International invites 10 students of the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Los Angeles to join the program in 2009. This mythical American Art School will then host for a week both the French and German students of the Program in Fall 2009.

Conceived around a principle of transversality, this program aims to decompartmentalize arts techniques and training methods as well as territories.

The student meetings take place over a very short period of time: a week along workshops. During these sessions, the students, divided in 10 groups, will be required to input daily artistic proposals presented to everyone at the end of each day. The emphasis of these workshops is on the creative process itself and not on production.

At the end of each workshop, a 2-day open doors event will invite the audience to discover the results. The audience is expected to get rid of its habits and open up to art in progress, an artistic impulse, a collective energy. The emphasis is above all on research: an experimental work produced in a tight schedule.

Feldstärke International encourages networking between development and production venues. On the verge of graduating from art schools, students will familiarize themselves with artistic institutions of international dimension as future potential partners.

Feldstärke International is conceived as a long-term project, and is renewable over a 3 years period.

The program Feldstärke international takes place in the Artention France-Nordrhein-Westfalen 2008/2009 season, with the support of Nordrhein-Westfalen's Land. It is supported by the Office Franco-Allemand pour la Jeunesse (Ofaj) and the Holiday Inn Express*** Paris Canal de la Villette.

The Vault

video

The Vault project is born after several discussions about visas, travel, and the difficulties to cross frontiers. We create sort of a box, that would carry a camera, and a sound recorder. This box is made to be sent to someone that will use the stuffs inside before he send it, in another location, in another country. The inner clock of this box is the 24 pictures that could be taken. After this, the last person will send it back in the 104, Paris. This box, The Vault, is a way of carrying some political, cultural and human materials. Utopic idea of creating a device that could cross any border and help the transmission of any message.

The vidéo has been made with TV footage. It's kind of flash forward. A way of imagine this Vault many years laters. After it evolved, and transformed itself into a autonomous machine.
Where is it ? What does it look like ? What's inside ? Which informations ?
The idea was to make this artefact, or "pandora box", something scary, that is now out of control.
