Prelude for Tomorrow
Euhnye Hwang
Performance/Installation
Invited for the second time to Le Générateur to take part in the Nuit Blanche event, Korean artist Eunhye Hwang seizes on the gentleness and violence underlying the relationship with the other.
“I’m interested in taking the time to paint a part of the body, and thus establishing a rule of play between a person and myself.
Eunhye Hwang was born in 1978 in Seoul, and lives and works in Berlin. After studying art at Yong-In University, she met Marina Abramovic in 2002, and followed her performance course at the HBK in Braunschweig. Her work is linked to the immediacy of the here and now, and transforms spaces into places where she can play, practice and share with the public.

Sounds move, racing through the blacks agitated by burning fingers of matter, ceaselessly interspersed by flashes of light and the beginnings of melodies…

La Vidéothèque Mobile
Fabrice Gygi
Installation
In partnership with Le Plateau (Frac Ile-de-France), the Générateur hosts, the work of Swiss artist Fabrice Gygi, a device within which the viewer is invited to freely consult a collection of video works specially chosen by the hosting institution. Acknowledging the already performative nature of this work, which redefines itself with each exhibition, the Générateur has chosen to articulate its selection around video works that privilege the body and perceptive processes.A student at the Ecole supérieure d’arts visuels de Genève, Fabrice Gygi belongs to the alternative movement and is a major figure on the Swiss art scene. With a background in ultra-radical performance art dating back to his early work in the 1980s, Gygi’s installations, sculptures and performances focus on the various figures of authority embedded in our everyday environment.
