JEMAGWGA

Posted on by Ennis Posted in Current Artists

JEMAGWGAAbout the Artists:
Gwylene Gallimard & Jean-Marie Mauclet have worked for thirty years independently and collaboratively in the field of visual arts in France and the States, receiving support from the SC Arts Commission, Alternate Visions, Spoleto Festival, the Humanities Foundation, the Russell Foundation, the Puffin Foundation, Alternate ROOTS and the NEA. Their collaborative experiences have evolved from art pieces strictly by the two of them, to managing two French cafés offering all the features of an art & socio-economic sustainability project, to rhizome-like activities and specific partnerships and creative art programs. Their most recent endeavors have involved neighborhoods, other artists and activists.  JEMAGWGA is their official name.

Current Projects:

  • PROCESS: collaborative research and dialogue with third parties – communities, other artists, people in other disciplines – to develop an understanding, a critique, an action or a projected vision of and around social, political, art-related situations offered to us as fields of intervention. Meetings, workshops, meals … are tools for this investigative step. Art, race, generations, class, social and economic justice are our main topics.
  • END RESULT: usually large installations using as many techniques, materials and disciplines as necessary to make a meaningful piece. They may offer to use a combination of past art works and artifacts for special exhibitions.
