In June 2009, come and join us for a great happening at 4001 ! A unique event of an artistic and festive nature that brings together all the organisations located at 4001 Berri. It’s a party celebrating contemporary art, our community and our commitment to inspire everyone with a taste for art ! PUBLICATION PROGRAM Function/Fiction: Utilitarian Images Reconfigured Authors : Clint Burnham, Thomas Levin, Viva Paci, Charles Stankievech, Blake Stimson Function/Fiction explores unsettling approaches to reality in which everything on view is first treated by a data recording system. Function/Fiction probes artistic practices that draw literally on the utilitarian images saturating our environment (images stemming from statistical systems, surveillance images, and ID and documentation images) to create fictional works. Whether it is a question of photography or of its various technological extensions, this publication proposes a re-evaluation of the history of the gaze by suggesting other precepts than those of optics or the mechanics of photography to think about our relationship to reality, to a world where almost everything is subject to a pre-mediatisation. Launch : January 8, 2009 at 5 p.m. A new title in the series Les portables Exclusively devoted to one artist’s images, the volumes published in the series Les portables propose the book object as a space, indeed a place of diffusion for contemporary images. Les portables are travelling exhibitions without a pre-determined itinerary and above all, with no limits on where they can be viewed. For this third volume in the series, the Finnish artist Ulrika Ferm has created a project thematically tied to her exhibition presented in September but developed specifically to inhabit the conceptual space of a book. Launch: January 8, 2009 at 5 p.m.
