Between the 15th till 30th of september 2013, Makers Move will expand their ‘base’, and next to the mobile workshop join forces with Amandine Meunier in the kiosk at Palais Royal in Paris. We look forward to the collaboration with Amandine who has been on the road for a while.
Amandine writes about her work;
I am interested in mobility, in the friction between mobility and rooting.I am interested in objects for the magical dimension that we grant them.I 'm interested in the hand making objects, in the value of non-industrial and fundamentally useless products.
In Paris I intend to work in the newspaper booth at Palais Royal in two stages.I will show a set of ' flexible drawings ' as I like to call them. These are works made out of inner tubes (material which contains a voyage) finely cut with scissors, and they become portable lace drawings on the body.
I will present existing pieces and will cut out new ones on location, trying to respond to the local situation.
Between 20th and 25th of September I will work together with a writer Karin Espinosa, who I invited for a spontaneous residency to look around circular portable texts.
We intend to materialize the texts into objects (cut out from inner tubes) and to produce traces of it on paper. We will have a small printing press and will produce printed versions of the objects, which might be collected altogether in a book if we manage to get there.
It is about connecting newspaper booth texts to wearable objects. It is about writing on the body, about conveying text.
