Last days to see
@_e.r.e.s &
@cornilmusic duo show,
Gribouillages Exquis stemmed from a desire to pair sound and painting that at a first glance seem worlds apart: Yet here, they reveal a surprising complementarity, especially through the instinctive creative processes shared by both artists.
Like ragpickers collecting urban debris, Simon and Jérémy each develop an intuitive practice grounded in the accumulation of material. They compose through extraction, gathering scraps, collisions and residues from their immediate environment. These fragments are digested, condensed, and merged into a whole that is often chaotic yet consistently harmonious. Their methodology relies on serendipity, where process outweighs the outcome. A spontaneous form of composition, doubled with an addiction to the raw pleasure of making — what we jokingly called, the “first degree of graphic jouissance.” A kind of solitary exquisite corpse which, for the first time, Simon and Jérémy attempt together.
The exhibition follows the same principle of interplay. The polyphonic installation acts as an extension of the paintings: a translation of the graphic gesture, adding an extra layer, and making its abstraction more legible. In return, the painting grounds the sound, giving it density, weight, even a face. It creates an elliptical dynamic, a constant rebound between the sonic and the visual, where loops collide endlessly.
In this sense, the scenography operates as a whole. The transverse canvases, transplanted with transducers, animate at their contact. They shed their static object-to-be-looked-at attitude and shift into hybrid creatures — macroscopic gargoyles with a sarcastic grin, watching the viewer from their roped up perch. The result is a solemn yet uncertain atmosphere, a sour-ish inside joke that the soundscape amplifies, disrupts, and soothes through its fragmented acousmatic symphony.
