L’esprit français Countercultures

La maison rouge presents L’Esprit français, Countercultures, 1969-1989, a thematic group exhibition by curators Guillaume Désanges and François Piron. From Narrative Figuration to the hardcore graphics of Bazooka, from Les Editions Champ Libre to the first «radios libres» (a form of pirate radio), from Hara-Kiri to Bérurier Noir, the exhibition looks at the formation of a critical, irreverent, dissenting «French spirit» by proposing a multitude of crossovers and affinities.

Through some sixty artists and over seven hundred works and documents, spanning newspapers, flyers, posters, and extracts from films, videos and television shows, it purposely looks to other creative «genres» than those generally in the spotlight of contemporary art. It is an opportunity to show rarely-seen pieces, such as notebooks from the Dziga Vertov Group (formed by Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin), a monumental sculpture by Raymonde Arcier, and Henri and Marinette Cueco’s «school books», and to commission original works from Kiki Picasso (Il n’y a pas de raison de laisser le blanc, le bleu et le rouge à ces cons de français, 2016-2017), Jean-Jacques Lebel (L’Internationale Hallucinex, 1970-2017) and Claude Lévêque (Conte cruel de la jeunesse, 1987-2017). France as a country doesn’t like itself, yet invariably sees itself at the centre of a self-reflexive, selfcelebrating cultural model. A generation was shaped by the ideas thrown into the ring by May ‘68, which advocated every kind of freedom - political, social, aesthetic, freedom to live as one pleased; meanwhile, the country remained in what amounted to a political status quo. This situation would have a lasting impact on different countercultures, liberation movements or protest movements and, without realising, give rise to new forms of avant-gardism whereby popular culture such as film, rock music, comics, journalism, television and graffiti influenced the more traditional cultural productions of literature, philosophy, contemporary art and the theatre. They produced an indefinable nebula of autonomous practices that came and went between these different fields, demonstrating a singular «French spirit» made up of idealism and nihilism, caustic humour and eroticism, darkness and hedonism. A distinct brand of humour appeared to permeate the fringes of French society, from the emergence of a «youth movement» - irreverent, arrogant and politically ambiguous, one that grew up in the shadows of Guy Debord’s «society of the spectacle» - to the crisis that monopolised political thinking from Giscard to Mitterrand. Working within this diachronic («the French spirit») and synchronic (1969-1989) framework, the exhibition seeks to pinpoint an impossible identity by exploring its cultural backroads and alternative branches (from which, paradoxically, an excellence recognised beyond French borders grew). Emphasis is therefore on deviant figures, anti-heroes and creators from outside accepted history, because they were either too marginal or too mainstream.

Themes of sexualities, militancy, dandyism and violence run through the exhibition, which is structured as chapters. The focus of these chapters includes alternative education and sabotage of the French identity, but also the influence of Marquis de Sade on certain radical practices. Alternative means of production and diffusion in the media and the press, ongoing protestatory violence and its equally brutal repression contributed to a darkening social landscape against a backdrop of crisis, growing mass unemployment, segregation, and the soulless, tightlywound housing projects that became a catalyst for social malaise. This original and subjective mapping of very different personalities takes in every type of creative expression - plastic arts (Lea Lublin, Pierre Molinier, Pierre Klossowski, Michel Journiac, Claude Lévêque, Daniel Pommereulle, Jacques Monory, Françoise Janicot…), comics and illustration (Roland Topor, Olivia Clavel, Kiki Picasso, Pascal Doury…), literature and thinking (Félix Guattari, Guy Hocquenghem…), music (Marie-France, Serge Gainsbourg, Bérurier Noir…), theatre (Copi, Jean-Louis Costes…), film and video (Carole Roussopoulos, Jean-Claude Averty, Paul Vecchiali, Jean-Pierre Bouyxou…) - and also explores important sites such as La Borde psychiatric clinic, La Grande Borne housing projects, Les Halles shopping mall and the Palace nightclub. In France, it’s just a short step from counterculture to subculture, and many of the artists shown deliberately and openly chose not to go towards art but nonetheless stayed close, sometimes very close, as though to tap into it without having to conform to it. Others, within this field, never strayed from ways that «weren’t the done thing»: figuration, caricature, ethnography, political militancy. These aesthetic dissidences are all forms of resistance to a formal order of things, and which restore diversity to a rather colourless history of French art. The purpose of this invocation of once marginalised ideas and practices is to shed a non-nostalgic light on cultural mutations, but also bring a certain form of energy back to life.

Chapters in the exhibition: Fire away!, Forbidden/ Tolerated, Good Sex Illustrated, Sentimental Sordid, Dancing on Ruins, Diagonal Parallels, Cold Cuts, Inner Violence.

DINING WITH MARINETTI: THE MANIFESTO OF FUTURIST CUISINE

On December 28th 1930, Turin newspaper La Gazzetta del Popolo published a full-page Manifesto of Futurist Cuisine, from the mind and the pen of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. He was a poet and the spiritual father of the futurist movement, started in 1909 aiming to revolutionize art, literature, music, theatre, dance, and food, rejecting the styles of the past to dynamically embrace modern life.

The futurists delivered a jolt to all the practical and intellectual activities that up to that point had governed the cultural, civil, and political scene. The paradoxes of gastronomy, like those of aesthetics, aimed at moral evolution: the subject needed a good shake to reawaken its spirit.

Futurist cuisine, expressly defined by Marinetti as a true “revolution of cuisine”, was described in a manual filled with recipes, menus, and suggestions. At the time people made do with little, and the food industry, except for very few brands, remained at the artisanal level. Rereading the futurist gastronomy manifesto today, we can see that some of Marinetti’s suggestions indeed found application. Some examples include additives and preservatives added to food, or using technological tools in the kitchen to mince, pulverize, and emulsify. The recipes that then seemed so revolutionary were in some cases a preview of Italian-style Nouvelle Cuisine.

The forerunner chef of futurist cuisine was the Frenchman Jules Maincave, who joined Futurism in 1914, bored with the “traditional method of monotonous […] mixtures to the point of stupidity”, and proposed “bringing together elements separated by biases that have no true foundation: fillet of mutton and shrimp sauce, prime veal and absyinthe, banana and Gruyère, herring and strawberry gelatin."

Marinetti waged a famous and unpopular war against "the starchy food” (pasta), responsible for generating in habitual consumers “sluggishness, pessimism, nostalgic inactivity, and neutralism […] a ball and relic that Italians put in their stomachs like convicts or archaeologists." In addition to condemning pasta and absolving rice, the Manifesto predicted the abolition of the knife and fork and traditional condiments, encouraging music, poetry, and perfume to be paired with meals. The futurists also strove to Italianize a few terms of foreign origin: the cocktail thus became the “polibibita” (multi-drink), a sandwich was called a “traidue” (between-the-two), dessert was “peralzarsi” (for-standing-up) and a picnic became “pranzoalsole” (lunch-in-the-sun).

The futurists’ greatest success with the public and the press was with their “aerobanchetti” (aerobanquets). A memorable one was organized in Bologna in 1931. There was no tablecloth, replaced by sheets of aluminum and metal plates. The table was shaped like an airplane, with two appendages in the middle representing the wings, with a motorcycle as the engine. After the dish called “spicy airport” (Olivier salad), “rising thunder” (orange risotto) was served, during which Marinetti proclaimed, “we’re flying at 8000 m – feel how this nourishes and favors your stomach.” From the tables there then arose a cry: “We want fuel!”, singing the praises of the Lambrusco wine, kept in gas cans. Also served at the meal were: “wake-up for the stomach”, “Tyrrhenian algae foam”, and “Steel chicken” (roast stuffed with silvery non-pareils).

Futurist cuisine and rules for the perfect lunch

1. An original harmony of the table (crystal ware, crockery and glassware, decoration) with the flavors and colors of the dishes.

2. Utter originality in the dishes.

3. The invention of flexible flavorful combinations (edible plastic complex), whose original harmony of form and color feeds the eyes and awakens the imagination before tempting the lips.

4. The abolition of knife and fork in favor of flexible combinations that can deliver prelabial tactile enjoyment.

5. The use of the art of perfumery to enhance taste. Each dish must be preceded by a perfume that will be removed from the table using fans.

6. A limited use of music in the intervals between one dish and the next, so as not to distract the sensitivity of the tongue and the palate and serves to eliminate the flavor enjoyed, restoring a clean slate for tasting.

7. Abolition of oratory and politics at the table.

8. Measured use of poetry and music as unexpected ingredients to awaken the flavors of a given dish with their sensual intensity.

9. Rapid presentation between one dish and the next, before the nostrils and the eyes of the dinner guests, of the few dishes that they will eat, and others that they will not, to facilitate curiosity, surprise, and imagination.

10. The creation of simultaneous and changing morsels that contain ten, twenty flavors to be tasted in a few moments. These morsels will also serve the analog function […] of summarizing an entire area of life, the course of a love affair, or an entire voyage to the Far East.

11. A supply of scientific tools in the kitchen: ozone machines that will impart the scent of ozone to liquids and dishes; lamps to emit ultraviolet rays; electrolyzers to decompose extracted juices etc. in order to use a known product to achieve a new product with new properties; colloidal mills that can be used to pulverize flours, dried fruit and nuts, spices, etc.; distilling devices using ordinary pressure or a vacuum, centrifuge autoclaves, dialysis machines.

The use of this equipment must be scientific, avoiding the error of allowing dishes to cook in steam pressure cookers, which leads to the destruction of active substances (vitamins, etc.) due to the high temperatures. Chemical indicators will check if the sauce is acidic or basic and will serve to correct any errors that may occur: lack of salt, too much vinegar, too much pepper, too sweet."

This story is taken from the book Tacuinum dè Eccellentissimi, ali&no publisher.
