The Flash Collection programme is back for its ninth season in 50 secondary schools in the Paris region, with the addition of an invitation to artist Sébastien Rémy to work in 10 secondary schools.
Using works by Robert Breer, Roxane Borujerdi, Jiří Kovanda, Véronique Joumard and Claude Closky, the artist has invented a unique way of presenting the show. In Splash collection, the works become the protagonists of a story inspired by the worlds of manga and comic strips. Among them is Le décalage by Marc-Antoine Matthieu.
Using the postures of pitchman, mediator, lecturer and performer, the artist is interested in questions of the transmission of knowledge. He will be inviting students from around ten secondary schools to discover the works in the Flash Collection in these new ways.
Born in 1983, Sébastien Rémy lives and works in Paris. Whether it takes the form of lectures, installations, videos or publications, his artistic practice is presented as so many ways of envisaging the transmission of knowledge. It develops from phases of research and documentary collection on specific subjects (the figure of the domestic recluse, the history of the lecture, the abandonment of art, etc.). It draws as much on literature as on the history of art or cinema.
