as part of. Étalon par défaut, vidéo 2017. 2 to 26 November 2017 Meeting with the artist and screening on 15 November at 7 pm Étalon par défaut , video 2017 / Series of x performative actions in a semi-enclosed space for x objects and materials, and one performer / By and with Pauline Brun, video capture and sound mastering by Diane Blondeau, assisted by Valerie Castan. Étalon par défaut is made up of a series of long takes of about twenty minutes each. Wanting to question the video medium, Pauline Brun performs a sequence of actions on a loop. Through repetition, she brings into play the inefficiency of the gesture, diverts and displaces the function or functionality of objects, provoking situations verging on the absurd. The resulting fiction, which is non-narrative, has the slapstick mood of silent cinema. Pauline Brun first studied dance at the Nice Conservatoire before entering the École Supérieure d’Arts Plastiques, the Villa Arson, and then the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where she developed a practice of sculpture, installation and video. It was from her visual research that she turned back towards dance, joining the ex.e.r.ce training programme at the Centre Chorégraphique National de Montpellier. There, she experimented with the stage space, developed choreographic work and embarked on various collaborations on dramaturgical and scenographic questions. Since then, she has created performances for museum spaces such as the Centre Georges Pompidou and the MAC/VAL. She takes part in group exhibitions in which she presents installations and videos, notably for the Salon de Montrouge. Invited by the MAC/VAL, she has also led a series of workshops with a group of teenagers. She also performs, assists with stagings or designs installations for Fanny de Chaillé, Paula Pi, Pauline Simon, Ingrid Berger Myhre or Gaëtan Bulourde. www.paulinebrun.com
