[In French]\n\nProjet audacieux port\u00e9 par le Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), Disobedient Objects<\/em> pr\u00e9sente des art\u00e9facts issus de mouvements sociaux divers. La fonction didactique de ce mus\u00e9e d\u00e9di\u00e9 aux arts d\u00e9coratifs dote alors ces objets de la d\u00e9sob\u00e9issance non seulement d'un \u00e9clairage esth\u00e9tique, mais aussi d'une port\u00e9e documentaire. En effet, divis\u00e9e en quatre sections clairement identifi\u00e9es (Direct Action<\/em>, Speaking Out<\/em>, Making Worlds<\/em> et Solidarity<\/em>), Disobedient Objects<\/em> affirme une intention d'examiner le design et les objets de la contestation. Le r\u00f4le du V&A \u00e0 titre d'institution publique se fait ainsi d'autant plus signifiant. L'institution y r\u00e9fl\u00e9chit sa propre autorit\u00e9 et la r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration ou pr\u00e9servation r\u00e9f\u00e9rentielle qui distingue son exercice. Un d\u00e9fi de taille devant une th\u00e9matique aussi opposante qui exige de s'adapter \u00e0 la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 contestataire et parfois singuli\u00e8rement vivante des objets.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Disobedient Objects<\/em> ne circonscrit pas une discipline, mais \u00e9voque une certaine typologie des objets de la d\u00e9sob\u00e9issance en \u00e9vitant les pi\u00e8ges historicistes ou la hi\u00e9rarchisation des causes. Ainsi, un service \u00e0 th\u00e9 aux couleurs de la Women’s Social and Political Union qui militait pour le droit de vote des femmes au Royaume-Uni au d\u00e9but du XXe<\/sup> si\u00e8cle c\u00f4toie un carr\u00e9 de feutre rouge, symbole des manifestations \u00e9tudiantes qu\u00e9b\u00e9coises de 2005 et de 2012, comme exemples vari\u00e9s d’outils de m\u00e9diation militante. De m\u00eame, les guides explicites pour la fabrication de masques \u00e0 gaz ou de boucliers \u00e0 matraques illustrent au c\u00f4t\u00e9 du po\u00e9tique Tiki Love Truck<\/em> (2007), contre la peine de mort de l’artiste Carrie Reichardt, en collaboration avec le Treatment Rooms Collective, l’\u00e9tendue du spectre d’actions et d’interventions activistes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chaque objet ou action r\u00e9pertori\u00e9 par Disobedient Objects<\/em> est contextualis\u00e9 en regard de sa fonction et de la cause qu’il sert, de sorte que la notion \u00ab d’objet activiste \u00bb d\u00e9borde de son histoire de production pour explorer l’hypoth\u00e8se d’une subjectivit\u00e9 activiste collective. En fait, les objets de la d\u00e9sob\u00e9issance sont souvent issus du quotidien, d\u00e9tourn\u00e9s et trafiqu\u00e9s \u00e0 peu de frais. Cette esth\u00e9tique de la contestation t\u00e9moigne d’un design militant commun, informel et exp\u00e9rimental qui trouve malheureusement un \u00e9cho ennuyeux dans l’ensemble du dispositif mus\u00e9ographique. La mise en sc\u00e8ne de l’exposition emprunte mat\u00e9riaux et structure aux barricades de fortune. Cette surench\u00e8re clich\u00e9e du genre \u00ab r\u00e9volutionnaire \u00bb alourdit le discours et alloue peu d’espace au spectateur pour l’appr\u00e9ciation sensible de la tension importante entre le sens, l’usage et la valeur esth\u00e9tique des objets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La disproportion troublante entre les objets improvis\u00e9s et la violence qu’ils d\u00e9noncent expose le lien dialectique puissant unissant leurs qualit\u00e9s sociale et esth\u00e9tique \u00e0 l’oppression. De l\u00e0, la corr\u00e9lation \u00e9vidente entre les propositions plus ludiques et des conditions sociales d\u00e9mocratiques met en lumi\u00e8re l’inventivit\u00e9 de la r\u00e9sistance en contexte de non-droit. M\u00eame mis en exergue et d\u00e9-fonctionnalis\u00e9s, les objets de la d\u00e9sob\u00e9issance conservent leur potentialit\u00e9 discursive et critique qui se double d’une aura m\u00e9lancolique. Le poids des promesses bris\u00e9es, accomplies ou encore \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser transcende leur pr\u00e9sence et leur cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les objets issus de mouvements sociaux n’ont pas \u00e9t\u00e9 produits dans la perspective funeste d’une vitrine mus\u00e9ale. Ils agissent ici comme archives, art\u00e9facts ou m\u00eame reliques d’une dissidence qui tend \u00e0 \u00eatre f\u00e9tichis\u00e9e par leur exposition. Bien que le V&A offre un site id\u00e9al pour repenser le potentiel contestataire de l’espace public, la proposition d’insoumission de Disobedient Objects<\/em> s’articule en contradiction avec sa concr\u00e9tisation n\u00e9cessairement balis\u00e9e et contenue. Le projet met somme toute en valeur le capital culturel et politique des objets. Cependant, la m\u00e9diation soutenue des r\u00e9cits, strat\u00e9gies et discours militants \u00e9touffe la libert\u00e9 d’engagement du spectateur et masque paradoxalement leurs objets.<\/p>\n
