Take me to your favourite place

Take me to your Favourite Place is an audio publication that departs from my residency in the Villa Empain in Bruxelles between November and December 2018 and culminates in the occasion of Festival Signal#7 in August 2018. With the support of CIFAS, this publication marks my passage from the city of Bruxelles through various encounters, a workshop and interviews. Through subjective geography, this object suggests to think around how people passing by or living in Bruxelles experience topographical restrictions today.

Valentine de Saint-Point. Des feux de l'avant-garde à l'appel de l'Orient

Elodie Gaden, Paul-André Claudel (dir.)
Presses universitaires de Rennes, collection "Interférences", 2019

PRÉSENTATIONMorte au Caire en 1953, dans le dénuement le plus total, Valentine de Saint-Point a longtemps été reléguée dans l’ombre de l’histoire de l’art. Cette expérimentatrice hors du commun – qui fréquenta Rodin, Mucha, Marinetti et Canudo, écrivit coup sur coup le Manifeste de la Femme futuriste (1912) et le Manifeste Futuriste de la luxure (1913), révolutionna la chorégraphie en fondant une nouvelle danse sous le nom de Métachorie, se passionna pour la théosophie, puis finit par s’établir en Égypte et se rapprocher de l’Islam, tout en embrassant la cause anticolonialiste – avait littéralement disparu des mémoires.

International Yearbook on Futurism Vol.5 2015

The special issue of International Yearbook of Futurism Studies for 2016 will investigate the role of Futurism in the œuvre of a number of Women artists and writers. These include a number of women actively supporting Futurism (e.g. Růžena Zátková, Edyth von Haynau, Olga Rozanova, Eva Kühn), others periodically involved with the movement (e.g. Valentine de Saint Point, Aleksandra Ekster, Mary Swanzy), others again inspired only by certain aspects of the movement (e.g. Natalia Goncharova, Alice Bailly, Giovanna Klien).
