<blockquote>Installation vidéo à trois canaux.<br />
Projection d&#8217;une durée de 15 minutes jouant en continu.<br />
3 lecteurs Blu-ray, 3 projecteurs vidéos. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2011/01/19/isabelle-hayeur-en-feu/#p1">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p2"></a>
112 West Hastings Street, Vancouver. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2011/01/19/isabelle-hayeur-en-feu/#p2">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p3"></a>
Fire with Fire a été financée par<br />
l&#8217;Olympiade Culturelle de Vancouver 2010.<br />
Commissaire : Marlene Madison. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2011/01/19/isabelle-hayeur-en-feu/#p3">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p4"></a>
Le Downtown Eastside est le quartier le plus ancien de Vancouver, c’est aussi le plus délabré. Ce secteur historique est tristement célèbre pour ses problèmes sociaux liés à la pauvreté. Avant d’être affecté par une importante déchéance urbaine, il connu des jours plus radieux et fut le centre des activités commerciales de la ville jusqu’aux années 80. Délaissé pendant plus de vingt ans, il est de nouveau convoité depuis quelques années. Ses édifices fraîchement rénovés et ses chantiers en témoignent : le Downtown Eastside est en pleine mutation. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2011/01/19/isabelle-hayeur-en-feu/#p4">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p5"></a>
La venue des Jeux Olympiques d’hiver de 2010 accélère sa transformation en intensifiant la spéculation foncière et la gentrification ; de nouvelles tours à condominiums et des magasins à grande surface font leur apparition. Le remodelage du quartier semble réponde davantage aux exigences des mieux nantis. Les tensions entre les promoteurs immobiliers et les membres de la communauté sont palpables car on appréhende une forme de &#8220;nettoyage social&#8221; implicite. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2011/01/19/isabelle-hayeur-en-feu/#p5">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p6"></a>
Singulièrement, l’histoire du Downtown Eastside s’amorce dans la destruction et la disparition. En 1886, peu après sa constitution en municipalité, le grand incendie s’abat sur Vancouver et rase le quartier presque entièrement (Great Vancouver Fire). L’installation vidéo Fire with Fire nous remémore cette période trouble de l’histoire de Vancouver. Elle évoque aussi les conditions actuelles du quartier en nous rappelant que de nombreuses vies s’y consument, rongées par des années d’itinérance, d’usage de la drogue, de prostitution de rue et de violence. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2011/01/19/isabelle-hayeur-en-feu/#p6">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p7"></a></blockquote> <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2011/01/19/isabelle-hayeur-en-feu/#p7">#</a>]]></content:encoded>

Je croise une jeune dame qui commente la scène à l&#8217;enfant de 6 ou 7 ans qu&#8217;elle tient par la main. Je lui demande: &#8220;Savez-vous ce qui se passe?&#8221; &#8220;Non, me dit-elle, mais j&#8217;expliquais à mon fils que les policiers viennent sans doute d&#8217;attraper la personne qui conduisait la voiture noire.&#8221; <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2010/02/20/bravo-merci/#p2">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p3"></a>
L&#8217;enfant me regarde, l&#8217;oeil à la fois ravi et inquisiteur, genre &#8220;Est-ce que je vois réellement un épisode de flics et bandits?&#8221; Un policier passe non loin de nous. Je lui pose la question. &#8220;On faisait une poursuite, dit-il, et on a attrapé le conducteur de la voiture noire.&#8221; Je le remercie, il continue son chemin et j&#8217;aperçois dans l&#8217;oeil de l&#8217;enfant le passage de l&#8217;interrogation à la validation du sens de l&#8217;observation de sa mère. Je dis à la jeune femme: &#8220;Félicitations.&#8221; À cet instant le policier se retourne et me dit: &#8220;Merci!&#8221; <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2010/02/20/bravo-merci/#p3">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p4"></a>

Last Thursday (February 18th), as I was walking on <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=napoleon+et++st-andr%C3%A9,+Montr%C3%A9al,+QC,+Canada&amp;mrt=loc&amp;sll=45.522388,-73.571515&amp;sspn=0.001176,0.002513&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Rue+St-Andre+%26+Rue+Napoleon,+Montr%C3%A9al,+Communaut%C3%A9-Urbaine-de-Montr%C3%A9al,+Qu%C3%A9bec,+Canada&amp;ll=45.522456,-73.57132&amp;spn=0.001184,0.002513&amp;t=h&amp;z=19">Napoleon Street</a> in Montreal, I saw 7 or 8 police cars, doors wide open and a whole group of police men and women. Was it dangerous? Apparently not: they let other people through. As I approached, I could see that the police people were talking happily among themselves. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2010/02/20/bravo-merci/#p6">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p7"></a>
Nearby, on the sidewalk, a young woman was holding the hand of a 6 or 7 years old child and was commenting the scene. I asked her: &#8220;Do you know what&#8217;s going on?&#8221; &#8220;No, she said, but I was telling my son that I believe the police just caught the driver of the black car.&#8221; <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2010/02/20/bravo-merci/#p7">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p8"></a>
The kid looked at me, at the same time in awe and inquisitive, kinda &#8220;Am I really witnessing a cops and robbers event?&#8221; A policeman walked by, so I asked him: &#8220;There had been a car chase, he said, and we finally caught the driver of the black car.&#8221; I thanked him, he walked away, and I caught in the kid&#8217;s eye the shift from doubt to the validation of his mother&#8217;s observation. So I said to the woman: &#8220;Congratulations.&#8221; Then the policeman turned around and told me: &#8220;Thank you!&#8221; <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2010/02/20/bravo-merci/#p8">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p9"></a>
Hahaha! Why not? I didn&#8217;t correct him but I felt safe enough to take out my camera. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2010/02/20/bravo-merci/#p9">#</a>]]></content:encoded>

On my way to <a href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/12/silkscreen-serigraphie/">the show</a>, I decided to walk through the new Place des Festivals in Montreal. I was not disappointed: this is a magnificent public space. There were already lovers, kids playing in the fountains and idlers on benches admiring the water show. A success! (Click on the image and then on &#8220;All sizes&#8221; to see it larger.) <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p1">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p2"></a>

<p style="padding-left: 30px">En allant à <a href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/12/silkscreen-serigraphie/">l&#8217;expo</a> j&#8217;ai voulu passer par la nouvelle Place des Festivals de Montréal. Je n&#8217;ai pas été déçu: c&#8217;est un splendide espace public. Il y avait déjà des amoureux, des enfants jouant dans les jets d&#8217;eau et des flaneurs sur les bancs regardant le spectacle aquatique. Une réussite! (Cliquez sur l&#8217;image puis sur &#8220;All sizes&#8221; pour la voir en grand.) <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p3">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p4"></a>
On a warm late afternoon, it was perfect: the fountains were refreshing the air and the water show was very inventive, playful and spectacular. I think it&#8217;s the first time I have seen, or rather heard, rhythms played using a fountain. We would like to know the names of these artists who compose sculptures that are lively, liquid and resounding. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p4">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p5"></a>

<p style="padding-left: 30px">En fin d&#8217;après midi d&#8217;une belle journée, les fontaines rafraichissaient l&#8217;air ambiant et le jeu des jets d&#8217;eau était très original, ludique et spectaculaire. C&#8217;est je crois la première fois que je vois, ou plutôt que j&#8217;entend, jouer des rythmes avec des jets d&#8217;eau. On aimerait connaître le nom de ces artistes qui composent des sculptures vivantes, liquides et sonores. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p6">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p7"></a>
Later that evening, coming back from the show, I could not resist to walk again through the Place in the opposite direction; this time charmed by the play<br />
of red and white colored lights in the water jets. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p7">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p8"></a>

<p style="padding-left: 30px">Plus tard dans la soirée en revenant de l&#8217;expo, je n&#8217;ai pas résisté à l&#8217;idée de retraverser la place dans l&#8217;autre sens, et cette fois j&#8217;ai été charmé par les jeux de couleurs rouge et blanc dans les jets d&#8217;eau. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p9">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p10"></a>
<p style="padding-left: 30px">Il y a encore beaucoup de questions à se poser pour le futur: qu&#8217;est-ce qui va se passer en hiver? Que faire avec les maisons banales du côté sud? Comment le Musée d&#8217;art contemporain va-t-il mettre en valeur cette façade &#8220;arrière&#8221; qui se trouve soudain en vedette? Et on aimerait en savoir beaucoup plus sur le spectacle aquatique: qui décide ce qui est &#8220;joué&#8221; quand? Il y a de long moments où rien ne se passe et il n&#8217;y a aucune information disponible nulle part, même pas sur Internet. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p10">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p11"></a>
The future still holds many questions, like what will happen in winter? What to do with the uninteresting houses on the South side? How will the Museum of Contemporary Art use its  &#8220;backside&#8221; which suddently becomes prominent in a new landscape? We also want to know a lot more about the water show: who decides what is &#8220;played&#8221; and when? Sometimes the fountains sleep for long periods and there is no information available anywhere, even online. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p11">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p12"></a>

<p style="text-align: left;padding-left: 30px">Il faudra revenir sur la place et imaginer ce que l&#8217;on va pouvoir créer sur Internet à son sujet, mais pour l&#8217;instant, il faut chaleureusement remercier les décideurs et féliciter les architectes <a href="http://www.daoustlestage.com/site/fr/accueil">Daoust Lestage</a> pour cet oeuvre d&#8217;art. (Désolé de vous envoyer dans ce  tas de Flash, mais tant qu&#8217;ils réussissent leurs places publiques&#8230;). Ce n&#8217;est pas tous les jours que notre ville peut se réjouir de recevoir un espace d&#8217;une telle qualité d&#8217;architecture urbaine, majestueuse et conviviale. La dernière fois, c&#8217;était lors de la <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Biblioth%C3%A8que">Grande Bibliothèque</a>. Tout n&#8217;est pas perdu. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p13">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p14"></a>
We will have to come back to the Place and to imagine what can be created on the Web about it, but for now, we must warmly thank the decision makers and congratulate the architects, <a href="http://www.daoustlestage.com/site/en/accueil">Daoust Lestage</a>, for this work of art. (Sorry to link to the pile of Flash, but as long as they make great public spaces&#8230;). It&#8217;s not everyday that our city can rejoice in receiving a space of such urban, majestic and friendly architectural quality; the last time was for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Biblioth%C3%A8que">Grande Bibliothèque</a>. All is not lost. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/09/13/place-des-festivals/#p14">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p15"></a>

I couldn&#8217;t recommend enough the series of 7 &#8220;overtures&#8221; by <a href="http://cgenest.com/2009/08/la-serie-des-ouvert/">Catherine Genest</a> (&#8220;Ouvert&#8221; is French for &#8220;Open&#8221;, as shown in the last video of the series). This is a fresh, delightful, very inventive idea that is worth developing, multiplying, imitating. I love readymades, urban art, light as object &#8211; especially neon -, movement and music (when it&#8217;s joyful ;-)). I hope there will be new ones in the near future. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://bruvu.boutotcom.com/2009/08/10/test/#p2">#</a>]]></content:encoded>
