Abstract

Portraitiste malien du XXe siecle, Seydou Keïta est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des plus grands photographes contemporains. En 1935, de retour d'un séjour au Sénégal, son oncle qui offre son premier appareil photo, un Kodak Brownie: Keïta, alors âgé de quatorze ans, commence à photographier ses proches avant d'acquérir un appareil à chambre 13 x 18.Il ouvre son studio en 1948 et .e spécialise dans l'art du portrait en noir et blanc. Rapidement, sa maîtrise de la technique et son sens esthétique l'imposent comme portraitiste, et le Tout Bamako se presse chez lui: on vient se faire photographier seul, en couple, en famille ou en groupe. Installant ses modèles devant des tissus, l'artiste travaille la mise en scène de ses prises de vue: ajustant les poses, prêtant pour l'occasion vêtements, bijoux ou accessoires, il cherche à donner la plus belle mage de ses clients. Jusqu'à l'indépendance du Mali, en 1960, Seydou Keïta a réalisé plusieurs milliers de portraits de ses concitoyens: aussi ses photos constituent-elles en cela un témoignage unique sur la société malienne des années 1950. Cette grande exposition monographique permet de saisir, à travers plus de deux cents photos, l'oeuvre d'un des grands talents de la photographie africaine.

Abstract

The evolution of studio and “post-studio” practice over the last half century. With the emergence of conceptual art in the mid-1960s, the traditional notion of the studio became at least partly obsolete. Other sites emerged for the generation of art, leading to the idea of “post-studio practice.” But the studio never went away; it was continually reinvented in response to new realities. This collection, expanding on current critical interest in issues of production and situation, looks at the evolution of studio and “post-studio” practice over the last half century. In recent decades many artists have turned their studios into offices from which they organize a multiplicity of operations and interactions. Others use the studio as a quasi-exhibition space, or work on a laptop computer mobile, flexible, and ready to follow the next commission. Among the topics surveyed here are the changing portrayal and experience of the artist's role since 1960; the diversity of current studio and post-studio practice; the critical strategies of artists who have used the studio situation as the subject or point of origin for their work; the insights to be gained from archival studio projects; and the expanded field of production that arises from responding to new conditions in the world outside the studio. The essays and artists' statements in this volume explore these questions with a focus on examining the studio's transition from a workshop for physical production to a space with potential for multiple forms of creation and participation.
