A few words about L’ATELIER | 03 avril 2008

Over the past few weeks we've been participating in an open-ended art-archive project, a fairly exhaustive attempt to document the multi-faceted ‘idea' of the artist's atelier in all its manifestations. Conceived by two young artist-curators, Maxime Thieffine and Cécilia Becanovic, who together form L'Ambassade, L'Atelier (making of) was born out of a shared passion for collection. But here collection, normally the last term in the artistic production chain, becomes the motor for a new process, related to a perceived climate of overproduction (or reproduction), for which the atelier is both the subject and conceptual image. A somewhat modest art of classification, mobilization & montage of what is already ‘out there', rather than a desire to add to the vast surfeit of works. But one which, collapsing onto a single plateau the two incommensurable planes of Holbein's Ambassadors, performs an anamorphosis of the archive through the skullwarp of multiple subjectivities. Rather than a space of production, the atelier becomes a moment of intense hesitation, reflection, gathering and regrouping of its own partly hidden forces. An intriguing process, the complexities of which are difficult to describe. Here we've limited ourselves to a short itinerary of four words that lie half-buried in the term itself – L'ATELIER – crystallised in four images
