Two weeks, at Balse.
Camille Claudel “Today, Claudel is more relevant than ever…. Rodin consults her on everything… Every marble you see by Rodin was carved by somebody else that he contracted, the marbles you see in the exhibition was carved by Claudel herself.” - Emerson Boyer.
The first U.S. show devoted solely to Camille Claudel in America in 35 years.

Studying artist Pierre Huyghe
Pierre Huyghe in "Romance" - Season 4 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21
“Create a zone of non-knowledge. Blur certitude…more emotion, than simple narration”
“I think humor is really important to break even the possibility of critical judgment. To be above that.”
“I’m not interested about filming the reality as it is given. And I’m not interested about building fiction. What I’m interested in is to set up the reality, to produce a reality, and then, only then, to document this reality….I’m building a kind of mythology. Then people play this mythology in the form of a party which we call celebration, one time a year, we have a score and then you have an interpretation….It has always been about the exhibition itself, the exhibition being a strating point. Usually an artist think an exhibition as an endpoint, a resolution of something. I’m not interested about that. I’m interested that the exhibition is not the end of a process, but is the starting point to go somewhere else.
Artist Pierre Huyghe: "I'm not interested in binarity." | Louisiana Channel
You have something that obviously endlessly actually changing modifying, you have contingency, you have unpredictability. Something that is not exposed somehow, it’s not an exhibition it’s not order. The context is in it always take its environment.
Collective intelligence
I do not mind shapes meaning shift somehow
I do not mind that things are incomplete the work is incomplete enough that welcome other conditions that they are not close and close with the meaning with the ontology with the truth, so they have always the capacity to…modify, and eventually to the meaning modify not only the way they appear or disappear.
A different feedback loop. What was interesting is to find no master, to find no center within that place. Somehow there’s not one departure point within that narrative…. I’m trying that the work somehow have this own agency that milieu it’s a milieu that have its own agency and somehow is indifferent at lease in its process to the gays or to the to the public.
I’m not interested in binarity. The Quasi, the in between. Things are not equal but I consider then equally. There is a certain indifferentiation between them, but I distinguish them. I’m interested in contingency…of what is not predictable of what is unknown. I prefer to let at least some decision or some event occurring within the work.
till next time.

Lesson 35 - No Plexiglas, No Electricity, No Humour; or Love is Colder Than Death
So many young artists I meet don't seem to have understood that they're going to spend their whole lives as artists. They're in a hurry because they feel that if they're not a success right out of the gate they're going to be a lifelong failure. I encourage you to think in a much longer arc, to take it easy and do it for the long haul - not to have a preconceived idea of what success is in relation to a durational framework. Some artists are successful early on, others later. Sometimes students also have misconceptions about what success is, mistaking the social aspects associated with success for actually making a successful artwork. To have a gallery, to have a big studio and to make money isn't necessarily to make good art. Don't confuse those two things.
I encourage you to think more historically and consider what your contribution to art could be, not about what your art practice can bring you in terms of material things.
I don't like to stand behind the camera or in front of the camera; I like to stand beside the camera. I figured out pretty early on - or I came up with the idea - that the camera is actually not the only agent involved in the production of meaning. There are also chemical designers, optical designers and industrial designers. There are economic and social issues. So I try to move around the photographic programme and occupy different positions at different times. Even though I didn't' get assignments in art school, I do treat myself like a commercial photographer: I give myself assignments. I become a product photographer, or I become a photojournalist, and I pick a subject as though it were a journalistic assignment.
