Through an artistic practice that is at once visual, textual, and performative, Ève Chabanon creates new contexts of gathering. She forges intimate relationships within communities or educational structures, and creates objects or situations that provoke audiences’ involvement in a collective process. While at OSE,Ève started new long-term projects such as Orlando, a series of events giving space of speech to marginalized communities, as well as a collaboration with a group of teenage girls training in beauty formation, in Dagenham, around digital technologies, IT language and public space. In parallel to being an associate at OSE, she worked with a group of young men from a vocational high school, in auto body mechanics, in the outer suburbs of Paris. The project was built on the notion of “travail en perruque” [moonlighting or homer] that was articulated within the group, during workshops, publications and the programming of talks occurring in the car workshop. These charged encounters are founded on mutual trust, but are also fraught with ethical complications and social asymmetries.
