project space project
As part of her artistic residency in Articulate, Perrine Lacroix's project is to produce an in-situ
work by letting herself be saturated by space and the city in
resonance with the political, spacial and cultural context at the local
as well as global level.
For
her coming project, she is interested in human "displacements",
political, tourist and artistic migrations. How are they conditioned and
how do they interact?
Dans le cadre
de sa residence artistique à Articulate, le projet de Perrine Lacroix
est de produire une oeuvre in-situ en se laissant imprégner par
l'espace et la ville en résonance au contexte politique, géographique et
culturel autant au niveau local qu'au sein de la globalisation.
Pour son projet coming, elle s’ intéresse
aux «déplacements» humains, aux migrations politiques, touristiques
mais aussi artistiques. Comment sont-elles conditionnées les unes et les
autres et comment interagissent-elles ensemble?

Displacement is the thirteenth project space project, a strand of Articulate's programming that began in 2011 to see how artists respond to project spaces as an exhibition practice. Articulate thinks of it as focusing on the
thinking processes that go on in art making, and on the relationships that are
formed between artworks and the places in which they are made. It draws on Daniel Buren's The Function of the Studio 1971 which he ended by praising Brancusi (before his studio got moved) for being .
. . the only artist who, in order to preserve the relationship between
the work and its place of production, dared to present his work in the
very place where it first saw light, thereby short-circuiting
the museum's desire to classify, to embellish, and to select. The work
is seen, for better or worse, as it was conceived. . .
