Yassine Boussaadoun realizes multidisciplinary work around the object and performance. The culmination of several years’ work on sport, and strengthened by an intense past personal sporting practice, he shares his sporting curiosities with others, drawing them into new physical experiences through the power of collective games.
For Un coup de pied jamais n’abolira le hasard, he deploys a series of artistic interventions with sports associations, integrating and then hijacking the rules of games. The result of his workshops with two local associations (the GUSBAD Badminton Club and the VAN THUYNE TKD Taekwondo Club), Yassine Boussaadoun presents an exhibition (photos and video projections) on Sunday, May 26, 2024 at the Générateur, in which these two sporting practices are modified with humor and fantasy.

Yassine Boussaadoun
Yassine Boussaadoun
Born in 1989 in La Seyne-sur-Mer. Lives and works in Paris.
Yassine Boussaadoun, an engineer by training, has retained a strong taste for technique, which he seizes with virtuosity. Sculpture and performance are his preferred forms of expression. His performances explore the potential of the body as a means of expression. Resorting to the strange, the disquieting and the derisory, it is often the very impossibility of “doing” that gives situations their plastic meaning.
Through his interest in the fabrication store, he questions the unique work in the age of its reproducibility. This questioning is pursued by shifting it to paper, a material with very low production costs and little pollution. His research is of the order of the tipping of matter and the notion of time.
This translates into an obsession with detail combined with many hours of work. The aim of Yassine Boussaadoun is to challenge our reading of the object. CocaLaw opens the window to the taboo of the French arms market. Dictators in the subway, that of the manipulation of power and media control. Standard, the qualification of the work of art in its market.
It is on the brink of physical rupture that he handles performance by and for the living: acting in the world rather than representing it. The artist acts by going beyond his limits with the aim of no longer corresponding to a norm. He resorts to the strange, the disquieting, the derisory. Very often, it is the very impossibility of “doing” that gives situations their plastic meaning.
His work has recently been presented at Générateur (2021, 2024), MRAC Occitanie (2024), Château du Val Fleury (2024), Biosphère de Montréal (2023), l’espace Bertrand Grimont (2021). His performances have been presented at Ciné+Perfo in Argentina (2022), at RueFrançaise (2022), at Nuit Blanche (2020), at Festival Inact (2020), and at Tripostal with Latitudes Contemporaines (2019).
