Jousse Entreprise and Les filles du calvaire are teaming up to host the third edition of the Prix Utopi•e from February 6 to 22, 2025. This initiative is dedicated to LGBTQ+ artists whose practices are committed to questioning the conventional model of contemporary plastic and performative representation, under a militant prism. Galerie Jousse Entreprise (6 rue Saint- Claude) and Galerie Les filles du calvaire (21 rue Chapon) will each present a work by each artist, offering a cross-disciplinary dialogue between the two spaces.
In the body of work presented at Galerie Jousse Entreprise, the artists apprehend fragmented realities, swarming them with elements of fiction and thereby leading us towards other possibilities and aspirations. The forms and sounds are sometimes destabilizing, invariably thought-provoking, so as to free our gaze from all domination. Decentralize to anchor. In this way, beliefs radiate without hierarchy, prayers liquefy, clothes come to life, tearing becomes healing. And if autobiography is at the heart of the stories, collaboration is even more so. The notion of representation is not an end in itself, but rather a means for artists to tell (their) stories from their places. The emancipatory power of the works is thus rooted in multiple identities, shared experiences and essentially in a shared commitment.
