  • Mise En Page 1
    SEXTANT ET PLUS, associée à IKSV et CULTURESFRANCE, présente EMPLOI SAISONNIER "Emploi saisonnier" est un projet proposé par Celenk Bafra et Véronique Collard Bovy, basé sur un en - semble de recherches et d’échanges initié en 2008 dans les villes d’Istanbul, Izmir, Antakya, Diyarbakir, Paris et Marseille. Le point de départ était de rendre compte de manière précise des questions urbaines, sociales et culturelles des villes du pourtour Méditerranéen, et plus particulièrement de Turquie. Ces recherches se sont concentrées sur les différentes problématiques socio-culturelles de ces cités et sur les modalités de production collectives comme autant de solutions pour les artistes d’exister ensemble en inventant des systèmes d’échanges et de solidarité. De ces recherches découle l’élaboration de trois propositions artistiques, trois expositions présentées à la Friche Belle de Mai, à Marseille. Il était crucial, concernant le programme de résidence, d’y intégrer des artistes de Turquie familliers avec la dimension collective, le vivre et travailler ensemble. Venus d’Izmir, une des grandes villes de Turquie et un des plus important port de la côte asiatique, quatre artistes, par ailleurs figures emblématiques d’une des plus importantes initiatives d’artistes contemporains à Izmir, nommée K2, ont mené leurs résidences à Marseille. Bien que leurs propositions artistiques se soient formalisées de manière individuelle, une approche commune et une filiation spirituelle existe par ce passé partagé. Le processus de leur résidence jusqu'à la production de leur travaux, traitant des questions du quotidien et des modes de vie, a contribué au contenu de l'exposition "Arrangements" au même titre que les oeuvres des autres artistes invités qui, par leurs positions et leurs approches des questions du quotidien, viennent la nourrir et l'enrichir.

Artists include Flaka Haliti, Armando Lulaj, Damir Očko, and Irena Lagator Pejović, whose works were featured at the 55th and 56th Venice Biennials in 2013 and 2015, respectively. For philosopher Slavoj Žižek the very name “Balkans” is almost synonymous with “otherness” and deliberately used to distinguish oneself from one’s very neighbor. In the past century, the region was a laboratory of extraordinary political circumstances, and still is by all means a place in constant transition. In recent times, Southeastern Europe has gone through a massive transformation in an economical as well as political sense. Migration has made Vienna the fastest growing European capital, the city with the third-largest Serbian population, and home to many emerging artists.
