Documentary and contemporary art

Unquestionably, Documenta X (1997), under the direction of Catherine
David, clearly marked out the documentary’s place in the field of
contemporary art. This dialogue has been ongoing ever since. This has
been demonstrated by the numerous works of artists favoring the
documentary approach and also the opening up of festivals to
programming positioned at the crossroads between the two fields.

This situation is central to art schools. Young artists often brush
with documentary writing when experimenting with protocols and
techniques which at first appear to breach artistic boundaries.

A number of Masters in “Documentary Studies” in France and Europe
already exist. These demanding and innovative programs are nonetheless
based within a specific field: the documentary tradition. The aim of
this diploma is to operate at the crossover point.

This postgraduate program is designed for students in art or cinema,
young exhibition curators or art critics who wish to extend their
training with a year of experimentation around the interplay of issues
between documentary and contemporary art, without being confined to a
single technique or material. The group is not solely composed of film
makers or artists. Its diversity is a sign of plurality. Some of the
areas covered by this postgraduate diploma are : promoting a
collective dimension to work, following through production, producing
materials (films, texts, exhibitions, performances), carrying out work
on theory and art history, questioning modes of exhibiting, promoting
experimentation, questioning documentary protocol and the issue of
archiving, blending knowhow and practice, drawing on the European
dimension by looking at the problems of translation.

The postgraduate year will conclude with an event : a cycle of
projections, exhibition, publication, seminar, conference and meetings
whose form will be decided on by each group. With the aim of
establishing the work of the postgraduates in the fields of art and
research, and supporting their work in terms of production, a variety
of partnerships and meetings are envisaged with European documentary
festivals, art schools such as Le Fresnoy (Tourcoing) [National Studio
of Contemporary Arts], Femis (Paris) [The National School for Visual
and Audio Crafts] or Le Pavillon (Palais de Tokyo, Paris) [Creative
Arts experimental Workshop], institutions such as Le Confort Moderne
(Poitiers) [Concert Hall and Exhibition Centre], programs such as the
Atelier de création radiophonique (France Culture Radio, Paris)
[Radiophonic Creative Workshop] or pointligneplan (Paris)
[Contemporary art and cinema], and universities. An annual publication
and a website will detail the ongoing work.
