Créé en 2016, LABOBINE est un espace autonome constitué au sein de l'ERG, permettant de travailler la pellicule 16mm et super8, mais aussi la photographie. Au cœur de ce projet, on trouve la transdisciplinarité de l’école, l’expérimentation et l’envie de partager toujours plus avec les nouveaux arrivants. Des workshops sont organisés pour former les curieux et les rendre autonomes dans le labo de sorte à ce qu'ils forment d'autres curieux à leur tour.

Astérochroniques

by Yann Chateigné

For several years now, I have been accumulating notes and documents, reference texts and interpretations, working hypotheses and fragments of writing around what I consider to be a subject, the Night. However, the night in this investigation is multiple.

It is both the moment of another relationship with space and time, the dark and secret point from which avant-garde groups, meeting in cafés, cabarets, drifting in cities, have shone. It is also the theatre of operations on which the "workers' dream" of emancipation and equality, of which Jacques Rancière speaks in La nuit des prolétaires, was based.

Night is also a conceptual reason, which allows us to think, at new costs, of another measure, another politics of time. And as many artists of the 1960s and 1970s have revealed, it is the place where lines, circles, spirals, in other words the Forms of Time dear to George Kubler, are embodied, physically and mentally.

Finally, it is a common, invisible and non-market territory, which is today subject to a progressive conquest, as Jonathan Crary describes it precisely in his essay on Capitalism Assaulting Sleep, by power structures, technological and economic, media and political battlegrounds. While the boundaries of night are constantly shifting, never before have so many artists seemed to have taken an interest in the question: between art and astronomy, political ecology and the right to opacity, night comes, returns and insists, within contemporary artistic practices.

However, I have not yet resolved to bring these ideas together in a proposal that could have been the sum of these researches, nor the synthesis. One of the objectives of this seminar will be to try to put the accumulated materials in order, to share and enrich them, to observe and interpret them, in order to make them visible and readable.

Dialogues

Throughout this seminar, we will try to consider together some tracks around a question that could be formulated as follows: how to make a (common) world? Or again: "how not to despair"? Through the reading of political texts (or even appeals), the viewing of some films and other audio/visual pamphlets... with a marked attention for objects, things and non-humans. Students will be invited to bring their own contributions to the common reflection... A seminar is not a lecture space but a place of exchange and co-construction: will we be able to do it?

Evaluation: students will automatically obtain a minimum grade (equivalent to an honorable pass) - however, when a work is presented to the whole group, additional points can be acquired (by students who choose to do so).
