+ Projection de “Kinetic Rocketeers” de Magali Sanheira
Exploration fantomatique de la maison de Frank Malina, ingénieur aéronautique et peintre.
Réalisée pendant ses recherches, la vidéo s’ inspire du livre d’Ewen Chardronnet – récit de l’histoire secrète du programme spatial américain, fruit d’une enquête minutieuse et enrichi d’archives inédites, qui mêle politique, science, art, poésie, sexe et occultisme.
La bande originale du film a été composée par Gaël Angelis à partir de captations sonores de la maison et des œuvres de Frank Malina.

La conquête de l’art de l’espace
L’art a conquis l’espace. De nombreuses organisations à travers le monde ont embrassé le domaine des humanités afin d’enrichir les activités spatiales. Bien avant les programmes spatiaux, des artistes ont tout au long des siècles nourri l’imaginaire du voyage dans l’espace. Encore maintenant, des artistes continuent de créer une nouvelle poétique et des oeuvres critiques sur notre rôle dans l’espace.
Ces dernières années, nous avons été les témoins de comment les organisations spatiales et l’industrie ont inclus l’art au sein de productions collaboratives. Dans le même temps, nous nous réjouissons de l’émergence de groupes et d’institutions indépendantes qui explorent l’espace selon des perspectives culturelles.
Cette édition de KOSMICA à Paris présentera le travail de plusieurs membres du Comité pour une Utilisation Culturelle de l’Espace (ITACCUS), relevant de la Fédération Astronautique Internationale (IAF). Les membres de ce comité ont défendu la qualité des artistes présents dans leurs rangs ; d’autres ont fondé leur propre structure de manière indépendante.
Pour célébrer cette conquête, KOSMICA dévoilera à La Colonie une série de projets ; le tout sera conclu par une soirée rythmée par diverses performances, vidéos, discussions et bien évidemment en musique.
À propos de KOSMICA :
KOSMICA est une série d’évènements et de festivals populaires à travers le monde. Avec plus de 20 éditions à son actif et 150 invités venus des quatre coins du globe, nous tentons d’associer l’aspect à la fois étonnant et culturellement original de la communauté spatiale, afin de créer une mixité sociale dans l’art ainsi que dans les programmes spatiaux: projection de films, performances, concerts, ateliers, conférences et débats, avec pour thème les usages culturels et alternatifs de l’espace.
KOSMICA est né en 2011 à Londres, grâce au partenariat de The Arts Catalyst. Nous sommes actuellement approuvés par ITACCUS (le Comité pour une Utilisation Culturelle de l’Espace de la Fédération Astronautique Internationale).

The Conques of Arts in Space
Art has conquered outer space. A range of organisations worldwide have embraced the arts and the humanities for enriching outer space activities. Before there were space programmes, artists throughout history fuelled the imagination for space travelling. Today artists are still creating new poetical and critical work about our role in space.
In the last years we have witnessed how space organisations and the industry are collaborating with the arts and humanities for producing work. At the same time we can see the birth of new independent groups and institutions that explore space from cultural perspectives.
This edition of KOSMICA in Paris will present the work of various members of the Committee for the Cultural Utilisation of Space (ITACCUS) of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). Members of this committee have advocated for the importance of artists in their organisations and others have independently founded their own. KOSMICA will present a series of projects with an evening of performances, video, talks and music at La Colonie to celebrate the rise of the arts in space.
About KOSMICA Paris 2017
KOSMICA is a popular series of events and festivals worldwide. With over 20 editions and 150 guests from every corner of Earth, we bring together the cosmically curious and culturally quirky space community for a social mix of art and outer space programs: film screenings, performances, concerts, workshops, talks and debates about the alternative and cultural uses of outer space.
KOSMICA was born in 2011 in London with the partnership of The Arts Catalyst. Currently we are endorsed by ITACCUS, the International Astronautical Federation’s Committee for the Cultural Utilizations of Space.

PANEL DISCUSSIONS / PECHA KUCHA: 16.12.2014 – 18h
The starting point in process of creation of four authors attempt to freeze in time pulse flowing energy, elusive momentum that compulsive feeling creatively express. What is what makes us stand up, take charcoal or pencil and start to form? The French philosopher Henri Bergson called this sensation term ‘élan vital’ driving force, cause or impulse. The selected authors are trying not intellectually (mechanically), but intuitively elusive track record of this invisible ingredients – ingredients spice of life. Filomena Borecká and author of Portuguese origin Magali Sanheira express their attitude in the artwork or performance, as life itself is a flowing stream of incoming and outgoing events, so intertwined aspects of their work. French designer and artist Bruno Dubois (installation for international fashion labels Lagerfeld and Coco Channel) and Czech designer Zbynek Soukup (Price Designblok Editors) work with the capture of light or light source. So what is a delicate essences, essential ingredients that we ubiquitously and intuitively accompanies the way.

PANEL DISCUSSIONS AND RESEARCH
KM8, Kraljevida Marka 8, Belgrade
Start of the Discussion: Thursday, 20th November, 17h
Moderator: Gordana Nikolid
Participants: Igor Antid (RS-FR), Igor Bošnjak (BA), diSTRUKTURA (RS), Robert Jankuloski (MK), Thomas Köner (DE-FR), Nebojša Lazid (RS-US), Anuk Miladinovid (CH-DE), Radenko Milak (BA), Magali Sanheira (FR), Selman Trtovac (RS), Pierre Courtin – Gallery DUPLEX100m2, Sarajevo (FR-BA); Stefanie Böttcher (DE), Arion Aslani(RS)
The French Institute in Serbia and the Goethe Institute in Belgrade, in cooperation with the Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina (MSUV), initiated the project Memory of Violence and Dreams of the Future, dedicated to the commemoration of the centennial of the First World War, memories of turbulent and violent socio-political conditions, personal traumas, migration and dreams, within a contemporary and artistic context. The project brings together artists from Europe who use, as a starting point, the last 100 years of European history, without returning to the “old debate” on nationalism, imperialism and the issue of blame. With their research they intertwine different dimensions, approaches and issues, the past and the present, relations between the center and the peripheries, aspects of movement/travel, migration and exile, as well as new standards of communication in contemporary local, regional and European dimensions, in times when the examination of constellations and ideologies of the past is becoming necessary for establishing positions in a multipolar world. Through a collective artistic practice, across national borders, the past orpresent, and free of mental constraints, artists from different positions and contexts have the opportunity to explore and create new standards of mutual recognition, respect for differences, networking and strategies against apermanent degradation of knowledge and cultural endeavor.
The project contains within itself several intertwining thematic sections, pointing towards the key elements of the concept. The first is dedicated to the mythologization of the individual act and deals with the influences of social context, cultural models and created myths on the construction of social values of individuals. It problematizes relations within the community, subject to inherited behavior patterns and traditionally constructed values.
The second part of the project is concerned with memories and relationships of the collective and the individual during major social traumas, such as war. It emphasizes the notion of victimhood, the personal and the familial versus the militarized and the ideological.
The third segment is a dialogue between the artistic and historical content, through the inclusion of historical artifacts (films, photographs, objects, documents, magazines, etc.), as well as through the comparison of the past andpresent. It explores the relationship of artistic and historical positions through the engagement of avant-garde art practices, as an approach to art that defined the position of the progressive artist in the history of art. The fourth segment is concerned with the projection of social plasticity, the totality of the artwork, i.e. the shaping of life within artistic experimental practices. It stresses the importance of building positive European values in the future through theproblematization of a common past, in which, instead of dichotomy (positive-negative),the building of multiple views is emphasized, through the expansion and release from one’s own boundaries within art.
Each of the participants of the project finds the starting point for their research in their own artistic position, artwork media, identity and environmental context.Regarding the concept and the implementation of their work, some have found a starting point in the socio-political aspects and the role that Belgrade or Novi Sad had during the First World War, while most started from the position of the city in which they live and work in, finding new relations (Paris-Belgrade, Vienna-Sarajevo, Munich-Novi Sad, etc.). The establishment of geographic relations within the project is particularly emphasized.
Through their origins and their life paths, several artists are related to a number of countries or they currently reside in several cities and regions, maintaining or not maintaining connections to one or the other. These considerations are significant given that the project deals with a world war, which can also be viewed through the change of borders and territories, the transformation of the natural and the urban landscape, the aspect of movement of people, mixing of populations and cultures, resulting in a variety of human destinies.
Memory of Violence and Dreams of the Future highlights not only geographical but temporal relations, as well, therefore, through particular works, the artists intersecta variety of dimensions, approaches and issues of the past and present,using historical artifacts, myths or personal stories, developing their artistic practice through different media, such as: painting, sculpture, graphic design, photography, video, film and installations.
Le commissariat et la galerie : Le récit, son autonomie et ses interactions
Galerie SEE STUDIO, 7 rue Saint Claude, 75003 Paris
En partant du point de vue d’une pratique curatoriale qui pense l’acte d’exposition comme un acte de langage, qui consiste dans la narration d’une histoire/récit et dans la création d’une expérience sensible et/ou intellectuelle, ce débat/conférence a pour objet d’interroger le choix, les modalités et les conséquences d’une pratique curatoriale exercée au sein des galeries, par les commissaires d’exposition, les galeristes ou les artistes.
