Nine And A Half Weeks



Elaine Levy Project is pleased to announce Nine and a Half Weeks, a series of weekly projects that will start on October 31st, 2009 and take place till the end of January 2010.

During almost three months, from November till January, Elaine Levy Project is taking a break and leaving space to Nine And A Half Weeks, a test project on the edge of the usual gallery functioning.

The dull context of the art market encouraged us to propose a playful and free reinterpretation of the gallery space. Thus Nine and a Half Weeks will propose little experimental forms out of the commercial constraints and which will address a wider public than usual.

Most of the projects will be open construction sites and thought as such, or at least they will offer a range of devices to activate the space. The audience will be invited according to constantly renewed modalities, and the artists will invest the workspace as they want.

Nine and has Half Weeks is thought to be a place not only dedicated to the spectator, but also as a work and research space...

Finally the title is a funny reference, first of all to the duration of this programming, but is besides an invitation for new improvised experiments in our small kitchen, by means of everyday cheap objects.

Still life : Scraps scenography



I met Elaine at Slick in october, just before the begining of Nine and a Half Weeks.

I made a performance called « ExpérimenTable » with her, while she was telling me about the future project.


Then, we realised that actually the performance was something like Nine and a Half preamble...




Now, everything is done.

Nine and a half weeks after, what remains from the performance is only a table and

some dried vegetables we didn't eat that day.

Scraps. Still life.
