the program of «Paysage en mouvement»
The programme "Paysage en mouvement" presents artistic performances to the art public in Valais and other interested parties, which allow them to experience the landscape, the built and natural environment in a different way.
The program «Paysage en mouvement» of the Summer Academy is offered as a cooperation between the ECAV Ecole cantonale d'art du Valais and the Institute of Economy & Tourism HES SO Valais, in partnership with the Zermatt Festival, R&Art Vercorin and the Office of tertiary education Canton Valais.
topics of the «Colloque Paysage Son Image»
This academic symposium sees itself as a platform for discussion, experimentation and exchange on the topic of landscape, image and sound.For several decades, our relationship to the urban and natural landscape has changed dramatically. The following influences have contributed significantly to this change: new lifestyles characterised by mobility and independence, the boom of cities and the use of green zones for purposes other than agriculture, the unrestrained exploitation of natural resources, the strong growth of the tourism industry and, last but not least, a new environmental awareness. Added to this are technological developments that replace the real and naïve experience with a flood of images and sounds, accompanied by a steady increase in noise. Numerous artists and theorists dedicate their research and art production to this new relationship to the environment and seek ways to enrich or change it through juxtaposition and hybrid forms of art genres.
Two art movements in particular have contributed to changing the relationship between contemporary art and landscape: land art, which emerged in the 1960s, and the so-called "soundscapes", sound installations from the 1970s. With the first, the artists moved their work outside the spaces that traditionally served the exhibition and commercialisation of art. This prompted them to take a greater interest in their environment, the natural surroundings. With the second movement, musicians left the concert halls and created works whose realisation occupied public spaces or natural settings. This shift in location caused the emergence of a new kind of musical experiment in which a sonic environment is transformed into an installation that closely combines musical and visual means. The use of devices and transmission technologies from electronic music further intensified the convergence of two art genres that had long developed separately. The relationship to space materialises in technical artifice and musical play embodies itself in performative action.
The symposium aims to take stock of ongoing artistic investigations and practices and to explore new forms of art that incorporate the visual and the sonic. New productions on the theme of art in the landscape will also be seen and heard. The symposium is aimed at artists and researchers as well as art lovers.
Ultimately, the symposium should also contribute to the testing of new forms of documentation. It is planned to publish a DVD with videos, audio recordings and all texts of the symposium (readings, lectures, synthesis of the panel)
publication «Paysage son image», edited by Sibylle Omlin
Numerous artists and theoreticians are inscribing their research and productions in a new relationship with the urban and/or natural environment, exploring new forms of expression or reflection by bringing together or mixing genres. Whatever the forms of expression chosen (sculptural installations, photographic and filmic images, sound installations, music pieces, walking art, texts), the artistic experience plays with the boundaries between disciplines, with gender boundaries; it shows that, despite the attacks made on it or by the very fact of its profound metamorphoses, the landscape remains a privileged space for artistic creation and for reflection on the evolution of our society Paysage Son Image would like to draw up an inventory of current research and practices and to outline a few avenues for reflection.
