ORLAN X Charlie le Mindu, 2023<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\nORLAN X Abel Azcona, by Lekuona,2023
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Abel Azcona, a promising newcomer to contemporary performance, invites ORLAN for a highly personal collaboration.<\/p>\n

\n

An orphaned Spanish artist born to a prostitute and heroin addict mother who abandoned him at birth, he questions this lack and absence in his work. Abel Azcona creates a new protocol in which he invites the great women of the art world who have inspired him for a series of duo photos. They don’t replace her mother, but represent a guide, a strong, emancipating feminine reference point. At the same time, it’s a tribute to the mothers of performance. Two generations meet, the historic artists and the new generation. Abel Azcona began this series in Amsterdam with Marina Abramovic, and is now continuing it in Paris with ORLAN.<\/div><\/div>Show More<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholderORLAN X CAMILLE FOURNET, capsule collection”De corps en corps”, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

An eye, a mouth, a nose: “the body is a bag, the body is a suit”. With this new creation, ORLAN becomes part of the leather and flesh of the Camille Fournet house. This encounter enables the artist to break down the ice walls between practices, creating porosities between the visual arts, luxury goods and leather goods.
\nAn international artist, carnal, feminist and always in capital letters, ORLAN has created an exceptional collection for the Maison, featuring fragments of her body in quotations from her landmark work “Se vendre sur les march\u00e9s en petits morceaux” (“Selling oneself in small pieces on the market”).<\/p>\n

\n

ORLAN has long used the representation of her body to question current social phenomena from a critical distance. When we designate handbags and backpacks, we’re referring to the body. The bag is carried by the hand, but its name could lead us to believe that it contains hands, hence the idea of inscribing parts of the artist’s body on the bags, whether they are hand-held, back-held or other (impressions of the face, eye, ear, ear, hand…). The bag is like a prosthesis that allows us to carry the things we need. It is the development, the continuation of our pockets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>Show More<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder

\n

This work was created by ORLAN in 2023 as part of \u00c9quinoxes 9. \u00c9quinoxes is the vibrant encounter between Camille Fournet and an artist: an exchange of worlds, a space of unrestrained artistic freedom, inspired by the House’s codes.<\/p>\n

\n

On this occasion, ORLAN creates “L’\u00e9l\u00e9phant de la for\u00eat d’Afrique en voie de disparition et nouveaux robots en objets et mat\u00e9riaux recycl\u00e9s”. This work is a continuation of the artist’s questioning of endangered animals, with the particularity that the elephant is hybridized with the skin of a leopard and lizard.<\/p>\n

“Leather goods take us back to what we call “the beautiful hand”, but also to bags made of leather or animal skins (lizard, crocodile…). Today, we’re looking at all the materials we use, both natural and man-made, and their carbon footprint. My work questions the disappearance of certain animals and birds. I present these animals, which I hybridize with other animals in their natural environment, surrounded by robots. The robots are made from recycled objects. They are there to question the new technologies that can either destroy or build a more responsible world. “ORLAN <\/div><\/div>Show More<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nngg_shortcode_3_placeholder <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

To mark the launch of her first musical album “Le Slow de l’Artiste” on May 26, 2023, ORLAN will stage a release party\/performance on May 31, 2023. She orchestrates a double event: The Grand Prix du Slow de l’Artiste at an album listening session in Olympia’s historic billiard room, and an After-Party, during the awards ceremony, with live performances and a DJ-set at the Silencio Club.<\/p>\n

\n

ORLAN collaborates with Say Who to photograph the Grand Jury Prize. Laurent de Cernet, director of Olympia, opened the doors of his historic billiard room to ORLAN for this major event. Ruinart teamed up with ORLAN to make the evening even more sparkling, and the artist herself offered her iconic recipe for Lait de Vierge, guaranteed impure, with no colorants or preservatives<\/em>. She proposed a listening session commented and performed by Be\u00f1at Moreno, so that an exceptional jury could vote for the three best slows on the album. The jury included President Mich\u00e8le Lamy, Diane Pernet, Christophe Mecca, Sophie Rosemont, Sophie Duplaix, Elisabeth Couturier, Laurent Goumarre, Florence Tredez, Le\u00efla Voight, Fran\u00e7ois Renard, Rapha\u00ebl Fontang and L\u00e9onard Lasry. A few VIPs joined us for the event, which was followed by an after-party at the Silencio Club. Her costume was designed by Be\u00f1at Moreno, and featured a lycra dress and chiffon cape. He created a textile print using the slogans on the signs, all in black and white. With this costume, ORLAN becomes a manifesto, visually embodying her concept. <\/div><\/div>Show More<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\n

Following her performance le baiser de l’artiste (the artist’s kiss) at the FIAC in 1977, ORLAN presents le slow de l’artiste (the artist’s slow), her very first “all slow” album! She wants to offer what we’ve missed most since March 17, 2020: human warmth, hugs, body-to-body… she wants to bring bodies closer together after the physical distancing!<\/p>\n

\n

She realized that many of her assistants had never slow-danced before, and decided that she couldn’t go on like this – she had to do something for young people! With this project, she hopes to help people discover and revive this dance as a therapeutic treatment in this still difficult period of reconstruction.<\/p>\n

ORLAN wrote the lyrics for each slow, which she then proposed to musicians to create the melody and sing her texts. She then inserted her voice into the music, in collaboration with the guest.<\/p>\n

This album brings together twenty extraordinary slows created by orlan in complete osmosis with fantastic artists. : Sir Alice, Jean-claude Dreyfus, Terrenoire, Les Tetines Noires, Les Chicks On Speed, Mimosa, Yael Naim, Tentative, Regis Campo, Myope, Blue Carmen, Les Sans Pattes, La Femme, Romain Brau, Charlie Morrow, Demi Mondaine, Charlemagne Palestine, Kat May Et Iury Lech.<\/b><\/p>\n

The vinyl is on sale at FNAC and on all platforms. Several clips have been produced to visually illustrate ORLAN’s message: she made “Je suis slowsexuel.le” with Sir Alice and “Les corps de m\u00e9tiers m’excitent” with Tentative. A book will be published with texts written by the artist. ORLAN  has performed on several occasions with musicians including Demi Mondaine on Culture Box. <\/div><\/div>Show More<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Iconic photographer and great friend of ORLAN, Ali Madhavi invited her to take part in a series of portraits of transformation talents, as part of a Face Lace campaign, a brand launched by Phyllis Cohen. Each personality could use Face Lace (self-adhesive make-up) in a creative way to express their uniqueness. Laurent Dombrowicz handled the artistic direction of the shoot, and wigmaker Christophe Mecca styled ORLAN’s hair. ORLAN poses alongside celebrities such as Mich\u00e8le Lamy, Diane Pernet, Miss Fame, Le M\u00e9n\u00e9strel, Kam Hugh, The Arseniek and Ali Madhavi in self-portrait, among others.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nngg_shortcode_6_placeholderORLAN X RUINART, Collaboration 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruinart invited ORLAN to work on the packaging for their famous bottle of Champagne.<\/p>\n

ORLAN takes over the space with multicolored kisses, offering “a thousand artist’s kisses”. A unique and legendary bottle. <\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nngg_shortcode_7_placeholder\n

ORLAN X GUERLAIN, ORLAN hybridizes with the Empress Eugenie and perpetuates her legacy, photo montage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Jean Luc Monterosso asked ORLAN to create a work for the “Ch\u00e8re Eug\u00e9nie” exhibition organized by Guerlain to mark the anniversary of the bee bottle. It was created in 1853 for the wedding of Empress Eug\u00e9nie and Napoleon III. ORLAN has decided to pay tribute to the Empress through a hybridization that launches the artist’s new series in which she will hybridize herself with the great women pioneers of feminist history.<\/p>\n

\n

Empress Eugenie was very protective of the poor, women and artists. She supported writer George Sand’s candidacy for the Acad\u00e9mie Fran\u00e7aise and the work of Education Minister Victor Duruy in favor of education for girls. She is also against the censorship of Baudelaire’s “Fleurs du mal”.<\/p>\n

The gesture of hybridization allows ORLAN to make two times, two visual universes, two women coexist. Without these two entities meeting and mingling, the work could not have existed. It exists only through this encounter that breaks down the ice walls between eras, arts and genres…<\/p>\n

ORLAN says “I allow myself to resemble her, I allow her to resemble me. We meet despite the mists of time that separate us. An imprint of me in the memory of others.” <\/div><\/div>Show More<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nngg_shortcode_8_placeholderJEAN-PAUL GAULTIER CYBER CAMPAIGN, 2022<\/p>\n

The Jean-Paul Gaultier fashion house is opening a wild casting call, on the Internet, for extras in their Cyber ready-to-wear campaign. ORLAN, who met Monsieur Gaultier at the Asvoff festival, when she was Mistress of Ceremonies, and the designer who presided over the jury, introduces herself like any other person at the casting. ORLAN performs under the creative direction of Florence Tetier in a surreal photo shoot, around a circular table, with fake fluorescent food. Performance, fashion and humor mingle, elements that ORLAN had already exploited in artistic series such as “Femme qui rit”. Surrounded by the best international teams, ORLAN is made up by Isamaya Ffrench and styled by Jawara. An iconic campaign that perpetuates the artist’s taste for porosity between creative disciplines.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
