HOOT nr. 1 — Fanny Lallart

Gufo ed., Clément Faydit ed., Rozenn Voyer ed.

€8.00

Dans ce numéro, nous avons échangé et discuté des pratiques de Fanny Lallart, de la revue SHOW, d'autonomie, de visibilité, de feinte, d'amitié, d'écriture et de travail.

Gufo a rencontré Fanny après qu’elle ait déposé quelques revues SHOW à Giselle’s Books, une bibliothèque indépendante à Marseille. Nous nous sommes retrouvé·e·s au parc Longchamp et puis iel lui a proposé de participer à la revue pour le mois de mai. Iel a attendu quelques jours sa réponse et nous avons convenu d’un rendez vous en visio pour une première conversation: Marseille – Montreuil. Nous avons enlevé les caméras après s’être vu·e·s et nous avons commencé à échanger. Il était 18 ou 19 heures, le soleil s’est couché et nous avons raccroché. Nous nous sommes rappelé·e·s, il fallait revenir sur certains points abordés, les détailler et en démasquer d’autres. Fanny n’était plus à Montreuil mais chez des ami·e·s plus au sud; il y avait une montagne, parfois un peu de vent, c’était peut-être les Cévennes. Notre dernière rencontre s’est faite à Marseille, irl. Fanny nous a apporté un Cash, un jeu de loterie à gratter mais nous avons perdu.

HOOT est une conversation imprimée, une relation orale retranscrite avec un·e travailleur·se du champ de l’art, un·e collectif·ve autour de la notion de travail en tant qu’activité, méthode, environnement, milieu, symbole et nécessité. Chaque mois, entre le 1 et le 31, qu’il s’agisse d’un mercredi ou d’un dimanche, HOOT propose à ses lecteurs·rices, une discussion que nous espérons passionnée, à bouches déliées. Chaque numéro sera retranscrit selon la langue utilisée et partagée lors de la conversation.

HOOT est une revue mensuelle initiée par Gufo, Clément Faydit et Rozenn Voyer.

HOOT nr. 9 — Moyra Davey & Sophie T. Lvoff

Sophie T. Lvoff, Moyra Davey

Periodicals €12.00

The 9th HOOT pops up for the winter 2022-23, but the conception of this issue started well over a year ago at our beloved Plage Avant (Traduttore, traditore’s studio, Marseille). 

We met Sophie T. Lvoff at many openings and art related events in Marseille these last few years, having a practice that appears mainly as photography, Gufo got curious about all the processes that she uses which involve sound, installation, writing… and more. She welcomed us in her studio of the city of Marseille where she recently settled.

We found out about the “trompe-l’œil” of this iconic checkered table, witnessed the installations of translucid and colored objects evolving on the sunny wall, and looked through her photographic chamber it’s called a large-format camera, but this is funny… For this issue, Sophie suggested to interview another artist, Moyra Davey, who also works in photography and writing, and appeared to have shared experiences too.

The topics of everyday life, intimacy that images embody in both their works, take another dimension as soon as their thoughts, voices and writing expand and express the entirety of their gestures.

This issue is the first interview between two native English-speaking artists, who have ties to the French language from childhood.

The penpals are the main characters of that encounter where we are very welcome to join in their very generous conversations. This is only an excerpt of a long and well referenced correspondence.

HOOT nr. 3 — Kamilé Krasauskaité

Gufo, Clément Faydit and 1 more

Last year, on a summer night in Marseille, someone, within all the hungry people I am meeting during my dinners, specifically set her attention on my projects. Later during the fall I received a call from Austė ZDANČIŪTĖ, the cultural attache at the Lithuanian embassy in France, who introduced me to Kamilè Krasauskaitè. Since that fall, we kept on exchanging and making future plans in France where she would have a residency. The more we chatted, the closest we began. Kamilè is a almost-thirty-years-old Lithuanian artist that has been including sourdough bread in her work and builds a poetic and mesmerising world around that dimension of food, fermentation, senses, environment, rituals...Through our communication I decided to share that encounter that we managed to welcome in Marseille. We kneaded some bread together, shared it in a forest of Marseillais sunflowers, walked the streets, met people, questioned and compared artists' lives in Europe. This issue might be an excerpt of all the long conversations we had, it was hot and sunny in Marseille, it was in June.

Issue 8: Garden Tools

Ecology €14.00

More than a mere extension of the hands, the garden tool is what helps the gardener materialise their vision. Much like the painter’s brush and the sculptor’s chisel – without it, one would be helpless. This issue of Pleasant Place dives into the world of garden tools, the essential, the practical, and the beautiful. 

Including:
Instruments of Care – An introduction by Norbert Peeters with some philosophical remarks on garden tools.
Wardens of Good – A visual essay of the wonderful objects of Garden and Wood, a business selling vintage garden tools and ephemera.
Trusted Tools – Gardeners like Piet Oudolf and Jonny Bruce talk about their favourite tools that are illustrated in detail by artist Floris Tilanus.
Passing the Trowel – A visit to Sneeboer, the Netherlands most famous garden tool company, where the trowel has been passed down for four generations.
Toolmorrow – Artists are challenged to create new types of garden tools, for lazy gardening, stylish gardening and collective gardening.

Sore 2

Lisa Lagova, Mathilde Heuliez

Sore is a serial anthology that brings together authors whose writing practices oscillate between the genres of diary keeping and fiction. For the second issue of Sore, ten contributors – both authors and visual artists – were invited to collectively develop their work through a series of informal critiques over the course of five months.

In the first issue of Sore, observations of everyday life intertwined with memories and cultural references to denote the significance of a certain soreness we each carry within us as we negotiate the various challenges of social existence. In this second ensemble, seven new authors widen our understanding of the term ‘sore’ by underlining a need to orient one’s gaze towards what’s hidden underneath, to enter the anatomy of all these necessary contortions and u-turns one performs in order to escape the grip of expected compliance.

With contributions from: Mathilde Heuliez, Lisa Lagova, Muyeong Kim, Nour Ben Saïd, Masha Ryabova, Adrienne Chung, Richard Dmitri Hees, Oscar Le Merle, Morra Kozlitina, Tindra Eliason, Helmer Stuyt, Ilya Stasevich, Kristina Stallvik.
