Interview with Olivier Foulon, laureate of the 2005 Young Belgian Painters Award
In 2005, former Fine Art researcher Olivier Foulon (1976, Brussels, BE) received the Young Belgian Painters Award, the most prestigious biennial prize for fine art in Belgium. An interview with the laureate was conducted by Filiep Tacq (advising researcher Design department), a graphic designer and initiator / artistic advisor of the research project The tomorrow book; John Murphy (advising researcher Fine Art department), whose work is a mediation on what might be the work of an exhibition, and Jean Matthee, artist and psychoanalyst, who has published and lectured extensively on the conjuncture of art and psychoanalysis. The interview touches upon such matters as the energy and desire artists deploy in interpreting their creations; the fiction of loss; the notion of not knowing; the acts of retelling; reinterpreting; opening up existing art works to new readings and meanings. Text of the interview
Research
I can simply say that I use the photo camera as a notebook. So until now I have tried to organise those grips by extractions, sequences in which time is not necessarily chronological. This work has the form of a pile of photographs. This pile is named ‘startified photographs’. It allows me to structure my interests, subjects, ideas and thoughts.
Dear M.B.,
from this, I pose a written note as a statement:
A is the place of an image.
there will be as many A as missing images for the film.
A has the form of an image.
there will be as many bottles as messages.
It supposes to work and to read a bit differently, closer. It allows me to throw something away and taking time to lose it. Working like a bottle in the sea, like smoke in the air.
A work like a bottle thrown in the sea, like smoke in the air.
