Vincent Testard, visual and plastic artist
Alice Cavender


Vincent Testard, a 24 year-old visual artist, lives and works in Bordeaux. His research is centred on the different representations of the individual and their link to society. His work uses drawings, paintings, installations and video. This interview is an opportunity to get some information on his exhibition planned at the Galerie Tinbox in Bordeaux, in June 2009.

Hi Vincent. Thanks for the interview. Can you introduce yourself a little bit?
Vincent Testard, visual and plastic artist, Bordeaux. I'm 24 years old, born in 1984. I spent two years at the Fine Arts School in Lyon before moving to Bordeaux five years ago.

Tell me a little bit about your next exhibition
It's an exhibition at the Galerie Tinbox in Bordeaux, in June. It's in two stages, first of all Vital Architecture and secondly Proxemic System. They are two conceptually close ideas, but they will be presented differently. The base of this work is the sociological notion called Proxemics, defined in 1969 by the American sociologist Edward Hall. Proxemics is the study of distances that people put between themselves in a given space, and in a given culture. For example, in a North-American culture, a European culture or an Asian culture, the distances that come between people are not the same. Edward Hall worked on this theory, putting it into diagrams and schematics. Based on this theory, I am working on the notion of the first sphere of intimacy, the one that protects the individual. This is the sphere that we often sense in a crowded subway, when we feel uncomfortable. These invisible spheres bang into one another and create a loss of intimacy.
