Iannis Xenakis Tribute
Dwelling (with) Xenakis
A EUR ArTeC project, with MUSIDANSE and INREV/AIAC, led by Jean-François Jégo and Makis Solomos
On the occasion of Xenakis’ centenary (2022), this project proposes to study how to dwell the complex environments that the composer, architect, multimedia artist and theorist weaves and how these environments help us to dwell the world in a critical way. There are four directions in the project: 1. Interpret/Perform Xenakis: spatialization of a UPIC piece, concert and recording of a mixed piece, study days and training module; 2. Augmented performances on his work for piano; 3. Xenakis 22: International Symposium; 4. Study days accompanying the reconstruction of the Polytope de Cluny at Ircam. For 2023, the virtual reconstruction of the Polytope de Cluny and the architecture of the Diatope is proposed.
In partnership with the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the Centre des Arts d’Enghien-les-Bains and many other institutions (Ircam, Planétarium de Paris, Pôle Sup 93, Amis de Xenakis, Kapodistria University of Athens, etc.). With the ensemble Soli Tutti, Pavlos Antoniadis, Frédéric Bevilacqua, Alain Bonardi, Pierre Carré, Victoria Chavez, Ulysse Del Ghingaro, Aurélien Duval, Dimitri Exarchos, Anastasia Georgaki, Paul Goutmann, Elsa Kourtsoglou, Dominique Roland, Luc Verrier, Mâkhi Xenakis…
