The bedroom, the house, the city
Moviment, chapter 2
Wed 10 – Sun 14 May 2023
Platform for New Assemblies
Architecture, Philosophy Meetings
The world today is changing in a way that is threatening traditional forms of coming together and prompting a search for new ways of living together. The climate emergency, crisis in democracy and digitalisation are all challenges that are opening us up to the need and desire to invent new forms of gathering.
The international and multidisciplinary programme Platform for New Assemblies brings together key figures from various disciplines – art, science, cookery and architecture – to discuss various configurations of the collective and examine the way in which we do, and will, live together. They will do so in a variety of forms: spoken word, concerts, performances, screenings, a "meta-siesta", listening session and exhibition of works.
This first edition of the programme, which will be developed over several years with the generous support and collaboration of the CHANEL Culture Fund, will lead us in our reflection from the privacy of the bedroom to the plural density of the city via the informal space of the home.
This first session, which was devised by a think tank comprising the Cave Bureau architecture firm (headed by Stella Mutegi and Kabage Karanja), the philosopher Emanuele Coccia and architect Andrés Jaque, welcomes many voices to the debate: the architectural historian Beatriz Colomina, starred chef Julien Dumas, sociologist Eva Illouz, architect Tatiana Bilbao and many others, all of whom share the conviction that assembly today is an emerging and crucial form.

In between two centuries and a multiplicity of realities, works by Parvine Curie, Ghada Amer, Christian Jaccard and Thomas Hirschhorn reflect our romantic relationships. Dorothea Tanning and Louise Bourgeois thus suggest the permanence of our affective dependencies. We only have to look at Louise Bourgeois' marble cloud – a cumulus that the artist perceived as a joyful shape – to see the allegory of our own digital and amorous clouds. With its serpentine form, Tanning's enchained totem takes place in the vast assembly of the museum. Of what love, so exposed, do our intimacies speak?

A never-ending dance with Carolyn Carlson
Dance Performance, screenings, meeting
In June 1976, on the terrace of the Centre Pompidou, which was still under construction at the time, Carolyn Carlson performed an improvised dance wearing a red leotard and with a camera as her only audience. At the same time, she devised a continuous choreography – a non-stop dance – to launch the public spaces of this new cultural institution due to open in 1977.
Let’s return for a day, in search of these lost dances, to this dreamlike and ephemeral event, to the concrete utopia of a new institution housing art in the heart of the city. Archives, poems and experimental films will be set in motion, to retrace their origins and imagine their possible reinvention 46 years later.
With her dancers, Carolyn Carlson prompts us to rethink the space and time of both the human body and the architectural structure and invites us to watch, once more, this "moviment" that is the Centre Pompidou through the prism of its "visual poetry".

Meta-siesta
Interactive workshop
Created by the French artist Chloé Sassi, the Somme Sensible collective is a laboratory for creating resonant spaces. Following a cross-disciplinary and collaborative approach, in a cross between workshops and participatory exercises, participants build experiences of responsiveness, called "activations". It’s about exploring new mental ecologies through developing different attentional and relational methods. How can we imagine different ways of co-existing? What might alternative sociabilities, based on caring for and attending to others, be like? In what way might the quest for symbiosis make us inhabit the world differently?
As part of Moviment, the collective invites participation in a "meta-siesta" over two exploratory sessions, each lasting three hours and constituting moments of presence and contact.
On the basis of various fun and sensorial suggestions, participants are guided to work together to construct the space, and atmosphere, they will share.
Saturday, 13 and Sunday, 14 May 2023, from 1 pm

A night with Todd Haynes
Cinema Screening
As part of Moviment and Museums Night, the American filmmaker Todd Haynes presents, for one night only, three of his early short and medium-length films, each of them rare or unique: Assassins: A Film Concerning Rimbaud (1985, 41 min), Dottie Gets Spanked (1993, 27 min) and a surprise film. He will also show three films from the Centre Pompidou, specially chosen by him: Un chant d’amour by Jean Genet (1949-1950, 25 min), Fireworks by Kenneth Anger (1947, 15 min) and Charmides by Gregory J. Markopoulos (1947-1948, 15 min).
In this way, Todd Haynes traces a lineage back from his own work – his early underground films, which laid the foundations for new queer cinema in the late 80s – to one of its sources: the experimental homoerotic and poetic masterpieces of the 1940s.
Screenings – Saturday, 13 May 2023
