Jonathas de Andrade
1 Jun. — 30 Nov. 2024
Summer closure 28 July–27 August 2024
As part of La Métropolitaine, rendez-vous international d’art contemporain de la Métropole du Grand Paris, en collaboration avec TRAM, réseau art contemporain Paris / Île-de-France
La Galerie, centre d’art contemporain d’intérêt national de Noisy-le-Sec is pleased to introduce Brazilian artist Jonathas de Andrade (born in 1982, lives and works in Recife), who presents “Le Syndicat des Olympiades” [The Olympiad Syndicate], an inclusive and participatory project involving organizations from Noisy-le-Sec. Jonathas de Andrade draws on photography, video and performance art to question the architectural, social and cultural impact of the Olympic Games, while taking into account the myriad and diverse landscapes and people who inhabit and shape this area on a daily basis.
During the exhibition, the La Galerie building will become the headquarters for this unusual syndicate by welcoming a collection of works (photographic portraits, a film, an architectural model, some objects…), created for the occasion, which provide visibility for and valorize the inhabitants of this suburb just as they do sports fans of various social classes and ages.

“Faire Fair-play” with artist Sarah Nefissa Belhadjali. Based on everyone’s recreational experiences, create a collective game over several sessions: define the rules, names and roles of the players, then make the related accessories.
Discovery sessions (2h) – primary schools
-
“Cortège sans-queue-ni-tête” with artist Sarah Nefissa Belhadjali: creation of a miniature union procession defending its interests. Claims and imaginary scenery will take the form of a three-dimensional stage play.
-
“Quelle coupe à la maison ?” with artist Laura Burucoa: creation of jerseys, trophies, medals, pennants and photomontages. These elements will be hijacked to create a collection celebrating “success stories” usually left off the podium.

Discovery sessions (2h) – kindergarten

“Fake it until you make it !” with artist Sarah Nefissa Belhadjali: personalization of paper sports accessories (bows, dumbbells, balls, boxing gloves, rackets). Staging of objects on a colorful background and photo shooting.
