(Un)Inhabitable?
Art of Extreme Environments

September 9 > October 11 2009
Wenesday – Sunday / 11 am-8 pm

OPENING SEPTEMBER 8th 2009 – 4pm – 8 pm

Maison Européenne de la Photographie.
5-7, Rue de Fourcy, 75004 Paris.
Metro: Saint Paul or Pont Marie


The 2009 edition of the @rt Outsiders Festival —celebrating
this year its tenth anniversary—focuses on extreme environments.

These are environments that were, until recently,
uninhabited by human beings and that contemporary science
and technology turn into "inhabitable" places (Antarctica,
underwater world, outer space, deserts); but also those that
are becoming "uninhabitable" due to the impacts of our way
of life (pollution, technological accidents, economical
pressures and global warming).

"(Un)Inhabitable? – Art of Extreme Environments" presents
works that explore the meaning of living in extreme
environments, in the imaginary realm as well as in the
physical one, in the political, social and environmental
fields as well as in the poetic ones.

(In)Habitable ?
L'art des environnements extrêmes

9 septembre > 11 octobre 2009
du mercredi au dimanche de 11 heures à 20 heures

VERNISSAGE LE 8 SEPTEMBRE 2009 – 16h00 – 20h00

Maison Européenne de la Photographie.
5-7, Rue de Fourcy, 75004 Paris.
Métro: Saint Paul ou Pont Marie

L'édition 2009 du Festival @rt Outsiders —qui célèbre cette
année son dixième anniversaire— a choisi de s'intéresser aux
environnements extrêmes.

Ces environnements sont ceux, jusqu'à présent "inhabités"
par les êtres humains, et que la technologie et la science
contemporaines nous rendent "habitables" (Antarctique,
environnement subaquatique, espace extra-terrestre,
déserts), mais aussi ceux qui deviennent "inhabitables" par
nos actions et modes de vie (pollution, accidents
technologiques, impératifs économiques et réchauffement
climatique).

"(In)Habitable ? L'art des environnements extrêmes",
présente un ensemble d'œuvres qui explorent dans
l'imaginaire comme dans la réalité, dans le champ du
politique, du social, de l'écologie et dans celui du
poétique ce que signifie "habiter l'extrême" mais aussi
comment "l'extrême", aujourd'hui, nous habite.
