From museum installations to underground activism, from Fluxus to noise music, it will invite a visual artist to evoke his or her relationship to the resonance and vibration of sound, and to question the sacred bond that the arts have always had with music - whether it be minor or major, popular or formal.

For this first edition of the meetings, Julien Bécourt invites the artist, filmmaker and curator, Marie Losier (France, 1972).

Artist, filmmaker, and curator Marie Losier (France, 1972) paints intimate, poetic, and playful portraits of the avant-garde personalities who compose her surroundings. After spending 25 years in New York City, where she was for a long time in charge of film programming at the Alliance Française de New York, she opens a new chapter of her work in Europe in 2013. Heir to the camp and DIY aesthetics, in the wake of the Kuchar brothers and John Waters, she celebrates in her films the most joyfully eccentric facet of existence, thanks to genius figures such as Genesis P.Orridge, Alan Vega, Tony Conrad, Cassandro the Exotico or Felix Kubin. Her films have been shown in exhibitions at the Tate Modern (London), MoMA (NYC), Centre Pompidou, Cinémathèque Française, Whitney Museum (NYC), Jeu de Paume, MACVAL and Fondation Ricard. She will unveil her recent work in June in a solo show at the Anne Barrault Gallery, while waiting for her new feature film with the feminist electropunk singer Peaches. She also teaches cinema at the HEAD in Geneva.
