Recalled was initiated by the Translation research program co-directed by Sébastien Pluot and Fabien Vallos at the École supérieure des beaux-arts d’Angers. A series of seminars have been developed to question the notion of the original and the autonomy of an artwork, the removal of the authorial figure, the ethical consequences of delegating tasks, translatability and operativity, the phenomena of versioning and dissemination of meaning.

Five exhibitions took place in 2012, simultaneously at Cneai = in Paris, École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts d’Angers, at Capc, contemporary art museum in Bordeaux, the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York and the San Francisco Art Institute. A new series of exhibitions took place in 2014.

The work is the sum of the theoretical and practical research that was produced during four years. It allows the rediscovery of an exhibition project and contributes to an understanding of artistic practices since the 1960s.
