Exposition of Arts and Techniques applied to Modern Life a project by Société Réaliste

societerealisteOpening: 7 pm 4th April 2008

Culture States: Exposition of Arts and Techniques applied to Modern Life takes its subtitle from the historical Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques appliquées à la Vie Moderne, held in 1937 in Paris. This project consists in designing a complete “World Fair”, based on the very principle of the 1937’s one: pavilions attributed to recognized territories and supposed to exemplify the variety of cultures. This 1937’s fair has been the most spectacular example of the relation between Culture and Nation, from the confrontation between the Nazi and the Soviet pavilions to the display of the imperialist cultural conceptions of France or UK through colonial pavilions. Seventy years after this key-moment, what is the relation between political and cultural entities in nowadays Europe? The main shift of Culture States is that, on the contrary of historical world fairs, this one does not take nation-states as a territorial unit. In this project, pavilions are dedicated to former independant countries, that appeared and disappeared during the 20th century.

Indeed, more than fifty European territories*, now embedded or divided between larger states, have been sovereign in the 20th century during periods from some days (e.g. Lajtabánság), to some years (e.g. Trieste). All these territories informs us about the constitution of territorial legitimacy through conflicts, or about the influence of power relations on cultural construction. The idea of Culture States is to take them as potential new autonomous cultural zones for the development of the EU, and also as a lens to read differently the construction of geopolitical identities, at a moment where the EU tries to shape itself as a cultural background based on states that have survived the History of Wars.

The first part of this project consists in reasearching on the cultural specificity of these territories, to build up a network of collaborators, and to shape the result of our speculations in the form of “World Fair pavilions”. Our corpus being wide, we have chaptered our project in five parts. The first one concerns Central and Southern Eastern Europe, territories such as Banat, Fiume, Užice, Baranya-Baja, Bihać, Mirdita, Kruševo, Lokot, Gumuljina, Gagauzia, etc. The next chapters will contain territories from Western to North Eastern Europe, from Caucasus to the Eastern Frontier.

This topic of disappeared countries is linked to our current representations of what is the territorial coherence of a state. What is the minimum material (cultural, political, economical) to proclaim a specific geographic zone autonomous? How transborder relations are created by a history of conflicts? Are we building up a “pavillonaire” Europe? We are currently in a very specific moment, when Europeans try to think on a supranational scale, to strenghen their political and economical union, for example by implementing new type of zones, such as Euroregions. This process of redefining territorial entities is in balance between what is juridically the EU, a union between 27 nation-states, and its cultural diversity, composed by hundreds of cultural and political minorities. This typically Modern dynamics is what our project would like to interrogate and analyse, by taking as a fieldwork the recent history of Europe. How the problematics of a « Political Europe » are based on cultural contradictions? By using recently disappeared « culture-states » as case studies and relevant territories for our pavilions, we would like to address questions such as: cross-borders issues as the European cultural paradigma; the transhistorical relevance of cultural conflicts through the 19th century, the two wars, the Cold war, the « never-ending Transition » period; the cultural history of the European geographical zone as a multi-layered principle of territorial re-qualification.
