La grande évasion

Photographic and sound installation

Pierre Leguillon got interested in the image’s  channels of circulation: the states they go through, the traces of  senses that they transmit. What movement takes place inside the  passing from a series of heterogeneous snapshots to a collection? In the  sliding from one medium to another, from a virtual space to a physical  one? With La Grande évasion, a collection assembled on the  internet tries to get to its audience on the occasion of its movements –  waiting for stories, for choreograpies that every one will be able to  make them perform.

Leguillon, Pierre

For the past fifteen years, Pierre Leguillon has  re-worked major works from the 20th century, which he considers to have  been paralyzed by history. An artist, curator, professor, photographer  and critic.              

A laureate of the Villa Médicis, he currently teaches at the Haute école d'art et de design in Geneva. Pierre Leguillon  is a protean artist, working mainly on the production and reproduction  of printed images that have reached a wide audience through their  circulation in the mass media, evident in his works Danse Libre and  Musée des erreurs. Through these works and their presentation in  exhibitions, the artist can be said to question the hierarchies of art.
His work has been shown at the Mamco, Geneva (2011); the Moderna Museet,  Malmö (2010); the Louvre (2009); and the Artists Space in New York  (2009).

Western classical dance enters the modernity of the 20th century: The Ballets russes and the Ballets suédois

If the 19th century is that of romanticism, the entry into the new century is synonymous of modernity! It was a few decades later that it would be assigned, a posteriori, the name of “neo-classical”.

The committed artist

In all the arts and here especially in dance, the artist sometimes creates to defend a cause, to denounce a fact, to disturb, to shock. Here is a panorama of some "committed" choreographic creations.

Meeting with literature

Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.

Dance and visual arts have often been inspiring for each other and have influenced each other. This Parcours can not address all the forms of their relations; he only tries to show the importance of plastic creation in some choreographies.
