Bas-côté, performance by Crash-test . and concert by Moju . a proposal by the Centre D’art Les Capucins Saturday 3 June, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, BAS-CÔTÉ, a proposal by CRASH-TEST for the Visiteurs du soir of the BOTOX(S) network. Saturday 3 June 2017, between 4.30 pm and 6 pm. 5 pm: Concert by Moju Moju in front of the Galerie Eva Vautier 4 cars that are at once artworks and exhibition spaces: 2 driving through the streets of Nice and 2 parked in front of the Galerie Eva Vautier. Press release: Having a vehicle holds a delightful potential for autonomy. Whoever owns a car is able to escape and to set off, to conquer and to desert. The contexts we flee, and those for which we take the road, bear witness to these moments of exile. This travelling time is ultimately nothing but the vacancy of these two positions, and in that respect has a unique transitional character. In the eyes of the law, the interior of a car is private property. Just as the four walls of a room, the place of intimacy, the metal of the vehicle separates the occupant from dense public space. The renter is the sole master on board and is free to extricate themselves from the weight of an ever more regulated world. What are the different ways of appropriating this private space, and what activities develop within it? What are its drifts and derivatives? CRASH-TEST takes over the vehicle as a space and device for display, with its constraints and its assets. A small, connoted space that nevertheless allows a research or a proposal to travel. Because it is also an accessible, light space, freed from the constraints of running a conventional venue, it facilitates and enhances ephemeral and fluid practices and experiments. CRASH-TEST is a project that, from the outset, combines car and fabric. It extends to other forms, as here for Bas-côté, but keeps these two basic components as the identity of its appearances.
