Marseille, September 26, 2005 26°
The toupolev is a place of research and experimentation which exists since December 2004 and allowed us (on September 26) benefitting from a place in center of Marseilles beside La Porte d'Aix to seek and create bonds.
We are 5 : Marie Laugier-Passarelli, plastician - Natacha Musléra, sound poet and performer artist - Agathe Dreyfus, filmmaker and coordinator - Boris Belay, filmmaker and philosopher and Nicolas Gerber, artist.
Our associative collaboration between "Mano", "360° et même plus" and "Les Disques Lunatic", a kind of co-operative enables us to support the place (rent and expenses) but also to share our various artistic research and to find alternate means of diffusion/representation/exposition.
Today the toupolev is a place where we can modestly receive (kitchenette, bathroom, room and atelier of 70m2) artists or not-artists on which we are binded in an artistic way, philosophical, theoretical, political or poetic; that they can come for one period (according to the proposals) in Toupolev to seek or show.
THE TOUPOLEV IS AN OUT-PLACE OUT-TRACK
We decide proposals together to come and try not to consolidate us in recognizable forms (with our eyes, ears, touch...).
