Bruit Brut

Une exposition immersive où le son se regarde, la sculpture s’écoute.

Inspiré par Jean Dubuffet et l’élan de l’Art Brut, par les pensées et partitions ouvertes de John Cage, par les équilibres d’Alexander Calder, les machines de Jean Tinguely, les œuvres de Marcel Duchamp, Louise Bourgeois et Tunga, l’artiste multi-instrumentiste Cyril Hernandez a conçu un ensemble d’installations sonores et plastiques issues de cette généalogie joyeuse. Toutes convoquent la musique, la sculpture en mouvement et le jeu comme moteurs essentiels de la création. Hors des cadres et des attentes du monde de l’art, ces pièces prennent pleinement sens lorsqu’elles sont activées par le public. Parmi elles, des installations aux noms évocateurs, pleines de promesses; le marcelophone, eaulà, le Calderophone ou La Tactile, auxquelles s’ajoutent Lune, gong eclipse, poêlades et Casserolades, Cœur galaxie, Stars, Le rêve du Tambour, Sol à Sol et ondes. Des films, réalisés par l’artiste entre 2015 et 2025, viennent prolonger l’expérience.

Surprendre par le jeu et la jubilation, faire confiance à l’intelligence du corps et à l’écoute du visiteur, voilà le programme de Bruit Brut!

MobilaSound

Installation 2007 and 2015

 

The mobile consists of a 6 speakers in suspension moving by the wind, emitting Cyril Hernandez’s recordings and musics.  Walking above the mobile the listener makes his own mix. At night spheres illuminate. The MobilSound is changing into a rolling and lighting sound system. The listening area is going to be a space of musical exchanges and a dancing space.

Tactile

creation 2009

 

It’s a sexy version of the swap cart. The public is playing it. This cart contains a magic skin. By touching it, the spectator reveals sounds and images of love and pleasures. The caresses reveal intimate feelings, sounds and images celebrate pleasure of soul and body.

We present the Tactile in public or private space.

 

 

the Swap Cart

An itinerant cart for musical swap.

 

Cyril Hernandez is driving the Cart, with his microphones, percussions and laptop he’s offering an intimate concert in exchange of a small interview. The cart reveals the soul sound and the fraternity we embody.

eaulà

Installation  2007

For many years, Cyril Hernandez has played and worked with water. Whenever he dips his hands into the water and strokes it in a kind of primitive yet daily gesture, he makes the element sing. With the help of the recording and live electronic system, water becomes a real instrument.With this sound and visual installation, Cyril Hernandez puts the viewer face to face with the element. This time it's the spectator's movements that transform the sound and image.
At the center of the device, a half sphere, a tank filled with water, seems to be listening to our dreams and fantasies. Now the visitor becomes like a new narcissus, so the game can start.

Calderophone

creation 2007

This Mobile is a tribute to the jubilation of Alexandre Calder, a representation of our galaxy, made of 9 cymbals. The mobile is played by the visitor himself. Each movement reshapes the entire space. Each shock causes a ringing cosmology.

 

 

Marcelophone

installation 2014

Wink to Marcel Duchamp, this tridimensional ready-made is a percussive instrument, surprising and playful. It’s an instrument in suspension composed by a bicycle wheel, placed on top of a set up of 20 bells installed on a bootle rack. With simple sticks, the spect’actor can play it according to his inspiration. An interactive system transforms and amplifies the sound in real time. At a time  the Marcelophone sounds like an Indonesian Gamelan, later we enter in a cosmic atmosphere.The Marcelophone brings the apprentice musician in a captivating journey.
