Francois Roche. Fugitive Navite [im]Migrant. Speeches Bubbles

24/02/2023 - 18:30h - Sala Traiangular, 3ª planta

El próximo 24 de febrero, en colaboración con la Universidad Europea, recibiremos en el COAM al arquitecto Francois Roche.

 

Roche es cofundador y director del estudio parisino R&Sie(n) Architects, junto con su socia Camille Lacadée, y asimismo del grupo de investigación New Territories/M4. El estudio está especializado en escenarios arquitectónicos singulares, con el objetivo de conectar "la verdadera y profunda relación que se establece entre las personas y los edificios".

Su trabajo ha sido mostrado en el Museo de Arte Mori, de Tokio, la Universidad de Columbia, el Centro Pompidou, el Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts, la Universidad de Yale y otros muchos museos y galerías. Ha expuesto también, repetidamente, en la Bienal de Venecia, en la Exposición Internacional de Arquitectura Metamorph, de 2004, o en la bienal Time Space Existence: Made in Europe, en 2014, etc.

Sus obras buscan poder representar "la divergencia entre la Ciencia, la Arquitectura, la Filosofía, la Genética de la Ciencia Ficción, el Arte, la Identidad y la Biopolítica", esto es, desde Lacan hasta Chomsky, pasando por Preciado o por Foucault. Describiendo sus Nuevos Territorios como "herramientas para anudar y desanudar realidades", sacando a la luz las singularidades más seriamente significativas del espacio.

New-Territories is a polymorphous architecture organization. Founded in 1993, it has embraced different labels, names, strategies and purposes. New-Territories is fronted by the androgynous avatar, trans-gender avatar, _S/he_, who authorized François Roche to write, talk and teach on his/her behalf, as a PS / personal secretary, an Ariadne’s wire of this ectoplasmic system and paranoiac mind. ‘New-Territories’ emerged through the multitude of meeting points, friendship and dispute, in the hollow of sympathy, empathy, antipathy ...
New-Territories seek to articulate the real and/or fictional, geographic situations and narrative structures that can transform them, with technology, robotic and human natures, physiological and psychological.
Exhibited among other places, at Pompidou Center, SF Moma, Tate Modern, Barbican London, CCA Montreal,…selected 10 times at Venice Biennial, in national and international Pavilion, including Biennales of Chicago 2015, Istanbul 2016, BKK 2020, Shenzhen 2020, Sydney 2022… Few solo exhibitions including this opus :  “s/he would rather do FICTION MAKer”, Frac Centre,
Among the teaching positions held by his-her P.S. F Roche, NewT has been guest professor, over the last two decade, in London, Vienna, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Paris, New-York from 2006 to 2013 at Columbia University, and 7 years at RMIT, Melbourne, and they opened a position in 2023 at KHM, Koln with the Lab  ‘Spaces Vs Processes & BIOtopes’
 
Works are organized on four time relations:
- Here &Now / A fragile architecture which negotiates with the arrow of time, with the transitory one or what seems the being.
- Here & Tomorrow / An operative and fictional architecture which tries to re-scenarize the relation with a situation, with an environment (like principle of reality).
- Elsewhere & Simultaneously / A speculative architecture which works out devices between robotics, mathematics, neurobiology and biochemistry (last research “Ive heard about” & “an architecture of moods”).
- Daily Psycho Routine / An anthropo-technic research on human pathology and exhibitionism, through ‘machinism’ and movie making, for the series called MythomaniaS (BKK)
 
-----------------------------
 
New-Territories was located in BKK, in Thailand, from 2012 and along these last 9 years. Works and attitude were developed in the streets of China Town, with and within the commoners, by computation, robotic and human pathologies.
Since 2020, Covid period and Asian frontiers lockdown crashed this ‘non business model’. A return in EU has been planned in March 2021. The reason of this ‘fugitive native im-migrant’ purpose.
