“In 2011, Pour une thèse vivante developed as a response to the Bologna Process that introduced the writing of a dissertation as a compulsory course component in art schools. Ever since, as the project developed from performance to performance, and through my own experience teaching in the Ecole Supérieure d’Art in Reuil-Malmaison and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Art in Bourges, I have tried to establish an increasingly tight link between writing, research and practice.

In order to go beyond the binary opposition between writing/visual art-making, research/ performance, the ‘performing/living’ thesis acted to point up the difficulties artists can encounter in finding a clear position within this exchange.

Pour une thèse vivante is thus the continuation of a reflection on art(istic) writing begun in march 2011 and which, in seeking to built a reflection in the field of art, cuts a path within practice. By developing connections with forms of know-how from all areas, my concern has often been to seek out the reason behind my stubborn attachment to the stage — creating these permanent changes in order to radicalise a position”.
