Le travail d\u2019Olivia Herna\u00efz, qui a termin\u00e9 en 2019 un post\u2011graduat au HISK, Gand est profond\u00e9ment marqu\u00e9 par ses engagements citoyens et f\u00e9ministes, et cherche de fa\u00e7on structurelle \u00e0 susciter la r\u00e9flexion et le d\u00e9bat.

Le travail que nous pr\u00e9sentons ici, Art and my career<\/em> est un jeu, potentiellement en \u00e9dition illimit\u00e9e, r\u00e9alis\u00e9 en 2020 et destin\u00e9 \u00e0 une grande diffusion. Le point de d\u00e9part du projet est li\u00e9 \u00e0 la d\u00e9couverte qu\u2019Herna\u00efz fit, du jeu de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Careers<\/em> <\/span>con\u00e7u par James Cooke Browne dans les ann\u00e9es 50. Elle fut interpell\u00e9e par le caract\u00e8re sexiste \u00e0 peine voil\u00e9 du jeu.<\/span> Sa premi\u00e8re appropriation du concept fut la r\u00e9alisation d\u2019un film o\u00f9 elle filmait ses amis, habill\u00e9s en costumes sombres ou black ties, occup\u00e9s \u00e0 jouer. Elle d\u00e9couvrit ensuite qu\u2019une version successive du jeu, Careers for Girls<\/em>, encore plus sexiste, avait \u00e9t\u00e9 imagin\u00e9e dans les ann\u00e9es 80. C\u2019est ce qui la d\u00e9termina \u00e0 r\u00e9ellement s\u2019emparer du concept en envoyant un questionnaire confidentiel \u00e0 un \u00e9chantillon repr\u00e9sentatif de quelques centaines de femmes actives dans le monde de l\u2019art en Belgique, France ou au Royaume\u2011Uni.<\/span> Ces questions portaient sur diff\u00e9rents sujets aussi diff\u00e9rents que la stabilit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re, le sexisme, les rivalit\u00e9s, la solidarit\u00e9, les opportunit\u00e9s et\/ou entraves \u00e0 la carri\u00e8re, le rapport \u00e0 la maternit\u00e9 etc. Une centaine de questionnaires remplis lui parvinrent en retour ce qui lui permit de construire les profils arch\u00e9typaux de 7 personnages\/actrices du jeu : l\u2019historienne de l\u2019art, la galeriste, la professeure, la m\u00e9diatrice, la directrice de mus\u00e9e, la curatrice, et l\u2019artiste et d\u2019articuler pour chaque case et\/ou carte des situations auxquelles ces diff\u00e9rents personnages sont confront\u00e9s dans leurs parcours professionnels. Les questions et situations sont pens\u00e9es de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 pouvoir amener et susciter une r\u00e9flexion et\/ou un d\u00e9bat entre les joueur\u00b7se\u00b7s <\/span>et bien entendu, il est souvent int\u00e9ressant que lors de l\u2019organisation de parties de jeu, des hommes endossent le r\u00f4le de l\u2019une ou l\u2019autre de ces professionnelles afin de prendre conscience, f\u00fbt\u2011ce de fa\u00e7on ludique, des difficult\u00e9s qu\u2019elles rencontrent. \u00c0 vous\/\u00e0 nous de jouer ! Il vous est possible de r\u00e9server un moment de d\u00e9tente et de jeu avec les amis de votre bulle sociale en \u00e9crivant \u00e0\u00a0accueil@centredelagravure.be<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Herna\u00efz has been experimenting with creation since her childhood but pursued a legal training in Brussels, Louvain-la-Neuve and Buenos Aires before embarking on a training in visual arts at La Cambre, Brussels, and, then, at Goldsmiths College, London (2016) before recently completing a post-graduate at HISK, Ghent. Olivia Herna\u00efz\u2019s work is deeply influenced by her civic and feminist engagement and structurally seeks to provoke reflection and debate.\u00a0

The work that we present here, Art and my career<\/em> is a game, potentially in an unlimited edition, produced in 2020 and intended for wide distribution. The starting point of the project is linked to the discovery that Herna\u00efz made of the board game Careers<\/em> designed by James Cooke Browne in the 1950s.<\/span> She was intrigued by the thinly veiled sexist character of the game. Her first appropriation of the concept was making a movie where she filmed her friends, dressed in dark costumes or black ties, busy playing. She then discovered that an even more sexist version of the game, Careers for Girls<\/em>, had been invented in the 1980s. This is what made her determined to really embrace the concept by sending a confidential questionnaire to a representative sample of a few hundred women active in the art world in Belgium, France or the United Kingdom.<\/span> These questions dealt with various subjects as different as financial stability, sexism, rivalries, solidarity, career opportunities and\/or obstacles, relationship to motherhood, etc. A hundred completed questionnaires were returned to her, which enabled her to construct the archetypal profiles of 7 characters\/actresses in the game: the art historian, the gallery owner, the teacher, the mediator, the museum director, the curator and the artist and to articulate, for each box and\/or card, the situations with which these different characters are confronted in their professional careers. The questions and situations are thought out in such a way as to be able to bring about and provoke a reflection and\/or a debate between the players and of course, it is often interesting that when rounds of the game are organized, men take on the role of one or other of these professionals in order to become aware, albeit in a fun way, of the difficulties that they face.
