A hybrid project between exhibition, conference, and performance, poster sessions derive from the field of sciences where they are used to create a mental image encapsulating the state of research and offer a visual aid to commentary and debate, and set thought in motion.
Before a poster capturing their thoughts about movement or the school, artists and intellectuals do a performance that is in direct dialog with visitors who are free to move from one to the next. Already tried out at Bocal, the nomadic school launched by Boris Charmatz, these poster sessions are buzzing with thoughts, words, and gestures. A way of sharing knowledge and experience, this new kind of event brings into play teaching and creation.
