Marine Chevanse. HEAR, Haute école des arts du Rhin, MA Art and Object. Selected Graduate 2018
Published: 13.08.2018

It is in a universe of forms that Marine Chevanse leads us. Her research is based on popular legends, from carnival to ice-hockey. These are traditional gestures of making, dances and trances, that are taken shape in low common materials as zinc, paper, wool, leather. It is also a real dimension which is given to her artistic proposals and specific references to create objects who could take place in a sculpture field. From small sized jewels like her medallions, pompoms and bells, to the human-sized sculpture of colorful papers& that mingle and& simply cross each other, she brings surprise and energy with an easy plastic way of making.

It is the energy of their environment that shapes one’s portrait. / Donna Haraway
Everything is an experience. How do I convey a feeling, a vibration, an impulse, an intangible movement?
One might sometimes realise that it is neither the action nor the result that matters, but that suspended moment that keeps us in a trance-like state.
But what is left of those ineffable moments during which we truly feel alive?
Through my works, I touch on two experiences both as much individual as they are collective: on one hand the Basque festival, carnivalesque traditions, and on the other hand ice hockey, through which I always try to observe things from the inside out. I focus on revealing this power given to objects through the ritual - mystical even - properties bestowed upon them during these performances. Bodies in motion, invisible energies, vital forces, space bringing members of a group together or setting them apart are thought processes which I use to express liberating moments from our social construct.
The astonishment and awe stemming from those rites represent the poetical driving forces of my research. From the beauty and atmosphere of preparatory gestures to that trigger, often that mere sound which leads us to action and enables us to finally reach a pure and liberating vibration.
Silences – Impulses - Rhythms – Disturbances – Intrigues. Handle the objects - Capture the movement - Stimulate curiosity - Provoke sensations… And the viewer becomes a spectator.
