About Me

This label is the roof under which you'll find artists
who think that words matters, that cultural diversity
is a necessity of all time, that we cannot change
the world alone nor against people's will.
With their work, they proove that doing something is still possible.
In that, both the label and the artists to be signed are against fatalism
in the period of concentrate capitalism.

... un monde oÃ¹ l'assassinat d'un seul civil est criminel et oÃ¹ le largage d'un millier de tonnes d'explosifs sur un quartier rÃ©sidentiel est lÃ©gitime me fait parfois me demander si notre Terre ne sert pas d'asile psychiatrique Ã une autre planÃ¨te.
31 dÃ©cembre 1943 - G. Orwell - La guerre et le droit
in George Orwell - Ã€ ma guise - p. 54 - Editions Agone - 2008
John Berger
Quand l'art est une activitÃ© artisanale, ses rÃ¨gles sont inhÃ©rentes Ã la pratique qui consiste Ã travailler d'aprÃ¨s des modÃ¨les. Mais ceux-ci varient d'un lieu Ã l'autre, ainsi que l'habiletÃ© des copieurs et le jugement des maÃ®tres. Il y a donc toujours place pour un cas particulier pouvant modifier la rÃ¨gle gÃ©nÃ©rale. Par cette voie, l'exceptionnel, le nouveau, peut apparaÃ®tre.
A l'inverse, une AcadÃ©mie centralise toute l'activitÃ© artistique et unifie les normes et les jugements de valeur. (Les activitÃ©s plus humbles qui Ã©chappent Ã son autoritÃ© sont dÃ©daigneusement traitÃ©es d'art primitif ou populaire.) Et les rÃ¨gles, au lieu d'Ãªtre dÃ©duites d'exemples ou de modÃ¨les, sont prescrites d'une faÃ§on abstraite, de sorte qu'elles rÃ©duisent et inhibent l'imagination de l'artiste avant mÃªme qu'il ne commence Ã travailler.
L'acadÃ©misme s'efforce de rendre l'art conformiste au moment oÃ¹, pour des raisons sociales et artistiques, sa tendance naturelle est d'Ãªtre centrifuge et divers. Dans certains cas l'acadÃ©misme peut sembler progressiste mais il est toujours mortel pour l'art.
... L'acadÃ©misme ne peut reposer que sur une hiÃ©rarchie de catÃ©gories Ã©tablies; il en a besoin pour l'application de ses lois gÃ©nÃ©rales et purement thÃ©oriques ainsi que pour le fonctionnement de son systÃ¨me de rÃ©compenses et de contraintes.
