COMMON COMMON
a proposal by Jean-Christophe Arcos, Madeleine Filippi and Marie Gayet for C-E-A.

One hundred years after the narcissism of small differences, as Freud called it, pushed close nations to shatter against each other, tensions between European countries seem to reduce their rapprochements to the lowest common denominator, shattering system of donations and counter-donations constituting compromises making community life possible.

If works of art are “real objects necessary to the life of social groups”, as Pierre Francastel put it, perhaps it is above all by their ability to condense the signs that these groups can pool. In a sense, beyond the kunstwollen alone, they carry the stories of a community, and are shared by all without being divided.

Contemporary art, however, is the target of criticism focused in turn on its inability to embody a common language or on the impossibility of discovering unusual works – if these contradictory accusations ignore the existing transactional strategies. between art and politics, they highlight the possibility of a discordant art.

Today’s artistic practices, their hybrid forms and their plural quests, are anchored in a history of aesthetic experimentations as much as they respond to the dystopian, collapsing and identity representations that form the great narratives, and the commonplaces, of the time. Can they, should they, draw new horizons for us to come?

THE REIMS SCENES FESTIVAL OF EUROPE
The Cartonnerie / Césaré / Comedy of Reims – National Dramatic Center / FRAC Champagne-Ardenne / Armory, National Scene-Reims / Nova Villa / Reims Opera
The Reims cultural scenes present a program combining theater, dance, music, opera, circus, youth shows and performances. The artists’ view of the world in which we live is a leaven for a democracy that is too often abused. If they know how to grasp the present with great acuteness, it is also thanks to their capacity to return to the past and to draw from the source of poets and myths.
