For more than 15 years ingrid Cogne has been working on the ways in which bodily and spoken languages weld with each other and provoke events and potentialities in communication. The exhibition MÛ au quotidien presents her recent iterations wherein the concept “move and be moved” performs in the everyday through formats of conversation that call for various dramaturgies – depending on the situations at play. Cogne uses the notion “conversation” to qualify live, formal and/or informal communications based on the principle of articulation and circulation of information between individuals. It is an everyday practice and situation.* 

Cogne works in, between, and in-between expanded choreography and process-oriented re/search to underline, question and appreciate the complexity of a conversation which is – beside combining spoken and bodily languages – supported by optic, acoustic, and energetic perceptions. The multi-layers of the solicited perceptions invite multiple possibilities of filtering (reading/understanding/interpreting/re-learning) the content circulating within a conversation, when the modalities of its appearance constantly change and have different temporalities. In her work, Cogne flirts with im/materiality to insist on spaces of and for movements, to call for motricity, and to support possible un/conscious choices, transformations, and rearticulations. 

* But also, and unfortunately a notion that is overused as a title for events and/or publications to announce forms and formats of communication/presentation in the Arts. 

Ingrid Cogne

Ingrid Cogne (FR) is an artist working in and across artistic research, choreography, fashion, visual art, and science. Cogne focuses on the dramaturgy of (existing or created) situations. Her work aims to create movement, suspension and displacement in perception and representation – always in relation to economy and knowledge. With soft provocation for movement in representations and structures, she likes to, slowly, progressively, shake and shift perceptions, projections, and perspectives.

).
In 2011-15, in her PhD research thesis titled Displacement(s) as Method(s), Cogne uses the notions “situation”, “presence”, and “performativity” as filters to articulate her research between body, spoken, and written languages.
