Patrick Bernier

Patrick Bernier art that caught my eye a piece i find really interesting 

Bernier and Martin have worked collaboratively for over a decade, but their separate projects also develop the themes explored in X. c/Préfet de…: Bernier's work deals with issues of hospitality and hosting, both virtual and real, and his projects have taken the forms of chat rooms, collaborations with storytellers, curatorial interventions, and writing. Martin's projects in photography, film and installation have dealt with the porosity of identity in the context of Giorgio Agamben's notion of 'whatever singularity.'1 In July, writer Audrey Chan interviewed Bernier and Martin about their practice at their home in Nantes. The interview was conducted in English.

this is a quote from the man himself 

PATRICK BERNIER: When we present the performance outside of France, we address the plea to an imaginary judge of the European court, rather than the French court. So the title of the performance is no longer X v. the Préfet, but X and Y - two co-authors - v. France.2 And the arguments are based on the 10th article in the European Convention on Human Rights (1950) on the freedom of expression and artistic liberty.

this man represents himself and his mind and uses his art to let out his ideas thoughts and expression he speaks through art and i think i finally get why Rosie chose to give me this man to research because he also uses writing to express himself and me as a poet i can learn from him if i am able to channel my emotions ideas thoughts opinions and values through what i create literally and if am able to do this i can become great and i also believe i will earn respect like this man this coming from France and choosing to base their art from migration its a strong issue to use and i am still learning from it  

as for the maps and networks his own art is going and placed in the direction of social issues and immigration being a voice for the minorities in France that don't have a way out and or refuges that have been deported he lived in this atmosphere and in such a depressing environment  and he is speaking and expressing himself to the public and in his own words to an "imaginary judge of the European court" from this alone you can tell and as the article i quoted from patrick works with other artists to be heard and recognised through there work and also him as an individual has taken responsibility for his work by choosing to speak out about the lack of freedom in expression they face as creatives this is what some of his work represents
