Young people from Aveyron have until January 24 to participate in the Univers S competition, organized by the Department and the Soulages museum, by proposing a sound creation on the theme of the work of Pierre Soulages.
The Univers S competition, offered by the Department of Aveyron and the Soulages museum, is still open to applications, until January 24. Aveyron candidates aged 13 to 16 are invited to produce an original sound creation linked to the museum and the work of Pierre Soulages, to be submitted online. The question to ask yourself: what do the museum, the artist Pierre Soulages and his work represent for you? It can be music, a song, a rap or even a slam. Free rein to everyone’s imagination.
A key concert
The prize for the three winners selected by the jury will be support from the rap duo Antes & Madzes and the beatmaker Cisco (Prodiges) on February 19 and 20, at the Club in Rodez. As an extension of this coaching, the lucky ones will have the opportunity to offer a private concert at the Soulages museum on the evening of February 20 in the company of the artists, in front of their loved ones. Concert tickets will also be offered to them by Le Club.
To select the winners, the jury made up of artists and organizers will examine the originality of the productions, creativity, relevance to the Universe S theme and technical quality. Sonia Reynes, responsible for bringing this long-standing project to life, expresses the Department’s wish to address adolescents in order to introduce them to the work of Pierre Soulages through an original sound approach. Through this competition, young participants can be fully involved, developing their creativity and curiosity. “ If they do not know Soulages, they are encouraged to find out more about participating in the project, explains Sonia Reynes, the goal is to highlight the work of Pierre Soulages”.
A BMX champion in Soulages?
Still with the objective of speaking to adolescents, the Department is carrying out a second project with the Soulages museum. During January, the filming of several videos by director Tristan Francia should begin at the Soulages museum in the company of Antes & Madzes, the rapper Lombre, the artist Fils de flûte and who knows, perhaps, a BMX champion … The visual arts project manager is aware of the need to always renew herself, with new ideas: “We test things and learn from them for the future.” The artists, the Soulages museum and the Department are impatiently waiting to discover the beautiful proposals from the young candidates.
