ARTIST
An artist in residence at the College of Noidans-les-Vesoul
The second week of residence at the College ends for Anne-Valerie Dupond. During these two weeks (there will be a third in June), the artist will have hosted bisontine students and their teachers in the workshop it was temporarily converted into one of the rooms on the ground floor . Belle initiative Raphael Sanchez, a teacher in Fine Arts that make students enjoy the daily presence of an artist.
the middle of a heap of rags, Anne-Valerie Dupond sews. She sculpts textiles, shapes figures with fabric, old clothes, padding it suture then in hand, more or less roughly, in a kind of ritual, both maternal and frankensteinien.
In the workshop, students posed questions and testing techniques, to try their hand joints .... The artist would like especially to convey the idea of "doing with the means at hand, find their own solutions. There is no method."
The "objects of affection" as a result of this artistic craft in the form of human or animal figures, statues, pin-ups, where busts Gender confusion is palpable, between a practice and a material rather feminine and more masculine attributes such as trophy hunting or memorial for example. An atypical universe, responsible for the artist's personal history, diverse influences, like Annette Messager and Louise Bourgeois, and especially this desire, or need, to design artistic objects with these fabrics worn, charged with intimate, ready to be thrown away, thus giving them a second life.
