Performance and conference with Jean-Émile Verdier (critic and art historian): Friday April 14 at 7:30 pm

From April 2 to 11, Emanuel Licha met couples in their homes. He had them put on suits made of Velcro strips that they experimented with in their privacy, without the presence of the artist. A small tape recorder, the only witness of their movements, would record the sounds of tearing of the velcro. The artist made a sound montage entitled Les chants d'amour. This soundtrack could be heard at DARE-DARE. It accompanied an exhibition consisting of the two suits swinging in space, photos, drawings and texts referring to the flayed.




Emanuel Licha lives and works between Montreal and Paris.
