Under the title On ira dormir sous les tribunes, twelve students develop their view of sport through various mediums (video, animation, volume, painting, drawing, object/installation, and performance).
The performative dimension of many pieces will enable works to be set in motion regularly over the time of the exhibition. Proof, if there ever was one, that sport now constitutes a subject, especially for this emerging generation, the works sweep through a broad spectrum of contemporary issues (esthetic, economic, political, linked to gender…).
These are explored here with great precision and relevance, from a perspective that is at once poetic, critical and humorous. In our view, one of their main qualities is that they never surrendered to bland illustration, to lazy generalities about sport and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Here, as throughout Endeavours and Masterpieces , they stick to what art says about sport, and even more to what sport says about art.
