Pratiques cosmomorphes - (Ré)générer le vivant

FOR SPRING 2024, THE IAC PRESENTS AN EXHIBITION OF RECENT ACQUISITIONS FROM ITS COLLECTION LINKED TO THE RESEARCH OF THE BRAIN SPACE LABORATORY.
Since 2016, in the age of the Anthropocene and as part of the How to inhabit cosmomorphic worlds cycle, the Brain Space Laboratory has been extending its field of exploration to the organic links that unite humans with the cosmos, in order to reassess our place within the living world and learn how to recompose a shared world, both human and non-human. From biology to geology to anthropology, a wealth of research is revealing the porosity and interdependence of beings and environments. Little by little, our conceptions are being transformed: the dualistic principles of a Western approach are giving way to another "future" opening up to a vision of the world that is no longer anthropocentric but "cosmomorphic". Throughout Le Laboratoire's research, more than a change in our vision of the world, it is the need to profoundly transform our ways of being that has emerged. How does the current planetary crisis force us to transform our ways of being in the world, and how does it call us to action? And how can we learn to transform ourselves, and each other?

The exhibition Cosmomorphic practices - (Re)generating the living, considers the multiplicity of artistic practices gathered here as potential modes of this necessary transformation, creation - the sensitive and the imaginary as tools for renewing our visions of the world in order to be able to (re)generate the living.
