TRANSFORMER.S.

Invented in the form of a temporary autonomous zone, it moves into different areas of the art center, infiltrating a multitude of moments in the artistic program and dialoguing with all the components of the institution's life throughout the coming year. In this room on the mezzanine floor of the Hôtel de Caumont, an initial sounding board is created for artists from the various residencies initiated by ¡Viva Villa! initiative: Casa de Velázquez (Madrid, Spain), the
Villa Albertine (USA), Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto, Japan) and Villa Medici (Rome, Italy).
In this ecosystem, conceived as a veritable theater of transformations, a succession of heterogeneous projects by artists and researchers celebrate forms that respond to the state of a world in transition.
Here, sensitive strategies are devised to rethink our ways of welcoming the unknown and representing our relationships with space and time, with the imaginary sounds of Lou Reed's famous album Transformer playing in the background. In 1972, Reed invented tales of a city in mutation, where fringe populations were emerging whose aspirations were shaping the contours of our present-day destinies.
Installations, video projections, encounters, documentation, performances and other dramaturgical forms form the basis of this open programming, organized in close relation with the life of the Collection Lambert and its various institutional partners - Festival d'Avignon, Rencontres d'Arles, Hivernales...
