After Thailand in 2008, and then Spain in 2009, the ARTAIDS Foundation worked in close collaboration with the FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais to present the event Pilot Light in February 2010 in France, and more specifically, in the Lille metropolitan area. Multiple social and cultural partners will be associated with this project around the theme of AIDS, activism and tolerance, representing different cultures and eras.
Espace le Carré, Maison Folie Moulins, Lycée Européen Montebello, Cinéma associatif de quartier l’Univers, Hôpital Saint Vincent de Paul (Lille) and Hôpital Gustave Dron (Tourcoing) will offer an international approach which is closely linked to the onset of AIDS in the 80s, as well as creations by contemporary Thai artists.This presentation will be enriched by productions by two artists Mehdi A. (France) and Anna Katharina Scheidegger (Switzerland) in residence at the Maison Folie de Moulins and Hôpital Saint Vincent de Paul.
A number of public programs will allow for exchange and dialogue through screenings, discussions and conferences, in the presence of the professionals from the medical, cultural and community sectors.
The exhibition Pilot Light hopes to offer the public a rich experience, at once informative and artistic, and to inspire reflection on the issue of AIDS as a current problem in today’s global society.
*The title Pilot Light refers to the small gas flame that is constantly kept alight in order to act as a source for a more powerful gas burner. A pilot light thus becomes a metaphor for an eternal, origin source; you cannot get a fire going without it.
This event is supported by Caisse d’Epargne Nord France Europe.
