Statement of Intent
A Corps Queer is an art event bringing together ten young emerging artists for an encounter between performances and videos.
A pop-up exhibition, A Corps Queer brings together, for one evening, works highlighting questions of the body, gender, and its performativity from a queer* perspective.
*Here, queer means everything that disrupts the binary and normative order of gender.
Man or Woman: two options. And in between, a potential for infinite possibilities waiting to emerge.
As a construct, gender must constantly restate and replay itself in order to exist. It is only through the accumulation of gestures and words identified and uttered as masculine or feminine that it becomes effective.
Because gender is not fixed; it must constantly be reinvested and shifted.
The aim here is to unsettle, to perform the strange, to blur the social codes of the feminine and the masculine. It is about questioning constraining systems and trying to escape, for a moment, the claustrophobia of gender.
This event thus takes the approach of bringing into dialogue two media that question the plasticity of the body and its capacity to become an actor in order to become “other.”
Under the banner of interactive participation with the audience, performances and videos will be presented continuously.
Lucie Camous / Exhibition Curating
Lucie Camous was born in 1992 in Nice. Initially drawn to creation, she entered the Villa Arson but quickly realized she was more drawn to showcasing artists.
She then continued her studies at IESA arts&culture in Paris in the Professional Master in Cultural Project Management, where she wrote a thesis on the exhibition of Art Brut and specialized in the design and management of artistic events.
