Seven young artists and two exhibition curators stop at Rennes, under an international flag. On active duty for the Dancing Museum, they will try to inscribe their respective practices inside the paradoxical frame proposed by Boris Charmatz: to produce the Dancing Museum’s fantasies, reproduce, document, copy, divert the masterpieces that could enter its collections; represent what it evokes, play with the metaphors that it unfolds, invent its extensions… Works of art about dance? Dance exposed by artists? Dance forgeries, or dance for false?
The Dancing Museum and the Pavillon du Palais de Tokyo have become partners for a project in 3 stages: March 2010: arrival of the residents from the Pavillon to the Dancing Museum and defining the project with Boris Charmatz April 2010: residence of the artists from the Pavillon and production of an exhibition on the theme of the “commisssioned service ”. The idea is to commission the 10 young artists to produce copiesof workss related to the Dancing Museum. The artists appropriate the theme and deliver their copies for an exhibition time on Saturday April 10th, from 12:00 to 7:00 PM.
