Index. Texts in French and English. Biographical notes. 120 bibl. ref.

How do we reveal the invisible? Through skillful detouring, reversals of perspective, epic maneuvering, building utopias, or in revealing inbetween-places? This is the challenge posed by L’envers de l’endroit, an exploration cycle that provided the context for creating many in situ and in socius artworks, artworks rooted in the creation of connections between, and encounters with worlds not normally in contact with each other. These works carry within them the agency of “dépaysement”—the positive disorientation provoked by a change of context—(Denis Lessard), infiltrate into daily life, employ creative strategies: “a subversive poetry”, “a playful geographic activism” (Guy Sioui Durand), performance, media infiltration, trailing, fictionalization, artistic walkabouts, sound walks, video projections, etc. “As archeologists of the everyday, [some of these artists] consider words, gestures, objects and attitudes as elements to be collected and connected to each other in order to probe the ambiguous nature of the Real” (Véronique Leblanc). Others will opt to “disrupt the pretty picture of constructed utopia” (Jérôme Delgado)." -- Publisher's website

Five authors address various realities of artistic practices in public space, including instrumentalization, (in)visibility and the anti-spectacle." -- Publisher's website.
