Dans le cadre de ses rencontres autour de l'Art intitulées "On ne meurt pas d'amour pour l'Art", heartgalerie Paris invite Sally Bonn pour parler de son dernier essai "Les Paupières coupées".
En partenariat avec la librairie Le Comptoir des mots

Sally Bonn, née en 1970, enseigne la philosophie et l’esthétique à l’Ecole S...upérieure d’Art de Metz où elle co-dirige le Centre de recherche I.D.E. et la revue Le Salon, et est chargée de cours en esthétique à l’Université Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne.
Traductrice des écrits d’Agnès Martin (Paris, Editions de l’énsb-a, 1993), elle a notamment publié L’Art en Angleterre (Paris, Nouvelles Editions françaises, 1996 et L’expérience éclairante. Sur Barnett Newman à La Lettre Volée en 2005. Elle poursuit par ailleurs une thèse de doctorat en philosophie sur les écrits d’artistes à Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne. Un essai sur les dispositifs artistiques intitulé Les paupières coupées vient de paraître à La Lettre Volée (juillet 2009).

Les paupières coupées

N’y a-t-il pas, dans la perception esthétique de l’art un modèle de notre perception du monde ? Le projet de cet essai est de démêler l’écheveau de la perception esthétique à travers l’analyse des dispositifs artistiques, de déterminer ce qui préside à notre relation perceptive du monde et quelles sont les conditions de possibilité de la vision et de la perception.
Le parti pris est de s’appuyer sur l’étude d’œuvres représentatives et de l’expérience qu’elles induisent dans le cadre de la perception. Les artistes en question dans cet ouvrage sont aussi des écrivains ou des théoriciens, bien qu’avant tout ils se définissent comme artistes dont le travail d’analyse et de théorisation est une piste pour penser et envisager un type de discours sur l’art qui se ferait à partir des œuvres, des dispositifs et à partir de ce que les artistes en donnent à penser. Un discours qui serait une tentative constante de rester sur le fil tendu entre théorie et pratique. Ainsi se croisent dans ces lignes aussi bien Marguerite Duras que Caspar David Friedrich, Daniel Buren que Bill Viola, Barnett Newman qu’Ingmar Bergman ou Samuel Beckett, ou encore Ann Veronica Janssens, Sylvie Blocher et Jean-Luc Godard.

EQUINOCTIAL JOURNEY / VIAJE EQUINOCCIAL
(A tribute to Alexander Von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland)

HUMBOLDT AT DISPLAY

The Morales are interested in the collective memories in countries, which are mostly unable to take pleasure in safekeeping the testimonies of the past. Be it, because they have to reckon with natural catas...trophes too often; be it, because they are deliberately -as since several decades in Cuba- pushed from one trend setting project to the other.
Sheer documentation surely never stands at the centre of the Morales´ interest.(...) Both series are collages to the most part, an this principle also rules in the new series, dedicated to Alexander von Humboldt.
(...) considered the “second discoverer of America”.
(...)Teresa and Juan Luis understand Humboldt as a visionary of global migrations of people and goods.

THE SECOND SEX

“....Then from woman’s point of view I shall describe the world in which women must live; and thus we shall be able to envisage the difficulties in their way as, endeavouring to make their escape from the sphere hitherto assigned them, they aspire to full membership in the human race.”
Simone de Beauvoir ...

This series of 16 photographs is a tribute to the book “Le deuxième sexe” written in 1949 by Frenchwoman Simone de Beauvoir (1908 - 1986), a tremendously important work for the women’s liberation movement since it analyses the different reasons for women’s historical inferiority in society. The images in the series represent different women as contemporary paradigms of the inferior position women have endured throughout mankind’s history.

Our selection, neither exhaustive nor exclusive, presents different situations related to the feminine condition as represented by 16 women:
AICHA
Like Mohammed’s youthful wife, Aicha married very young; and total (though unrequited) devotion to her spouse was demanded of her. In many families today, women still risk being disowned and repudiated by society should they engage in “conduct unbecoming”.
ELIENOR
Inspired by the great Elienor of Aquitaine, she represents the cultivated woman who, despite her enormous intellectual capacity, is unable to rise in social circles.
ANGELA
Like Angela of Foligno—who in her day relinquished all her possessions for the good of her fellow men, receiving nothing in return—this woman disregards her own happiness.
ASPASIA
A high-ranking courtesan and procurer of enormous political influence, this poet of ancient Greece exploited her womanhood for the sake of social advancement. She was charged and prosecuted by a jury of 1500 men and was not permitted to speak in her.
ATALANTA
Heroine from Greek mythology. Abandoned at birth by her father, who only wanted sons, she developed boundless physical agility and intelligence, defeating men in both footraces and hunting, and rebelling against the patriarchal frameworks.
CARMEN
She is the gypsy tobacco seller of Georges Bizet’s opera, murdered by a jealous man.
FATIMA
The virtuous and venerated daughter of the prophet Mohammed, who called her “the noblest woman in Paradise”. Today, she lives on the street and has lost society’s respect and recognition.
INANA
Goddess of light and darkness in Mesopotamian mythology, she descends into Hell to save her sister and has no choice but to remain there. Stripped of garments, jewels, crowns, sceptre, she finds herself alone with herself, confronting ghosts and fears. We can find today’s Inana in the hell of poverty, her feminine condition making it even more difficult to find a way out.
JEZABEL
This queen of Israel mentioned in the Old Testament is accused of adoring her own god and punished for it. She represents the woman who by herself imposes her convictions in a hostile society.
LUCRECIA
A figure belonging to the history of ancient Rome, portrayed countless times in art, she is the woman who, ill-treated as regards her person and character, self-destructs.
MAGDALENA
Unjustly accused of being a prostitute and forgiven by Christ, in contemporary society she is the woman who becomes intoxicated to forget her misfortunes, and who, far from being saved, loses herself in her loneliness.
MEDEA
In Greek mythology, this liberated and intelligent woman elicits mistrust and rejection because she is foreign; unjustly accused of being a sorceress, she is blamed for the plague unleashed upon the city. She represents the difficult social ascent of the woman who emigrates to wealthy societies.
PANDORA
According to Greek mythology, this woman is accused of releasing all the evils of mankind (illness, insanity, vice, passion, sadness, poverty, crime, etc.). She is an example of the myth of a patriarchal society imposed upon a formerly matriarchal society.
RAQUEL
According to the Hebrew Bible, this woman bemoans her banished sons in the face of universal indifference. In Judaism, Raquel weeps for an end to the exile and suffering of her descendants.
RITA
Saint Rita of Cassia, who lived in the 14th century, was the patron saint of lost causes. She is the woman who today continues to personally endure macho violence.
ROSALIA
As the patron saint of Palermo, Sicily, she represents the woman deprived of her freedom and condemned to live in eternal captivity.
