"Une berceuse pour les lambeaux" is an invented incantatory ritual unfolding in the form of a self-inflicted live tattoo accompanied by a very long experimental lullaby with folkloric tones sung a cappela. The song's lyrics poetically address the omens of a coming climate apocalypse, the eco-anxiety that follows, and the imaginary possibilities prefigured by the ruin of this world. The tattooed drawing is a sigil, a graphic spell inspired by Chaos Magick prepared from the lyrics of the song and casted by the wound inflicted during the tattoo action. <img width="1204" height="703" width_o="1204" height_o="703" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/120e832c2bb57279fca641dafb6bdb46b9875d786f2d28821809441bace8c0d1/Capture-decran--le-2022-03-06-a-19.13.30.png" data-mid="146916965" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/120e832c2bb57279fca641dafb6bdb46b9875d786f2d28821809441bace8c0d1/Capture-decran--le-2022-03-06-a-19.13.30.png" />Français: Perfomance vidéo réalisée dans le cadre du festival Art Soutterrain 2022: Voix Résilientes.Vidéo par Gui B.B.Commissarié par Caroline Douville.«une berceuse pour les lambeaux» est un rituel incantatoire inventé se déployant dans la forme d'un tatouage en live auto-infligé accompagné d'une très longue berceuse expérimentale aux tonalités folkloriques chantée a cappela.

Exhibition text by Marie Ségolène. “I would like to learn what to believe means, and what one does when one believes, and what makes it possible for one to believe.” -H.C for life, That Is to Say…, J.Derrida, 2000 The summer weeks I spent in Barksdale, Leah and Josh were raising lambs. Those little rascals knew how to get into the house, they were so attention seeking they could drive you crazy. Leah taught me how to nurse them. They would take to the bottle so eagerly – fattening right up! We walked in the woods with them, until they got bored of us. Josh would say: they only get one bad day. I have butchered a lamb, not skinned one, but butchered. And I held one, naked. Struggled to cut the meat off the bone. The smell stayed on me for hours, it filled my car on the entire drive back from some town out of Chicago to the city. And for every slice I thought of the sacrifices that were made before me. No pain is wasted: that is the language of eli del’s work. I have been seeking for my faith, and this work found me. And in trying to write about it I struggled. Because I had to admit that the cynicism that inhabited me was no closer to truth than the religious rituals that I had abandoned. del’s practice is one of resilience. Every sigil, incantation, ritualistic gesture is a summoning for guidance. Not solely for themself but for all of us, and especially for those who preceded them, and struggled before them. This is a practice of enchantment. And so if you find yourself cynical, alienated and hopeless, this work is for you. It is a revisitation of sacrifice, and a call to the divine. Suddenly we are no longer alone. We are both witness and witnessed in our fragility. In the early 1900s, Austin Osman Spare’s experimentations with sigils and chaos magick grandfathered an entire lineage of artists such as William S. Burroughs, Genesis P-Orridge and AA Bronson whose bodies of work were/are profoundly inspired by a syncretic spirituality and an interest in deconditioning. Written and visual cut-ups were methods that allowed, through randomization of meanings, a conjuring of spirits. In 2011, AA Bronson and Peter Hobbs released a publication entitled Queer Spirits, which archived a series of ritualistic performances dedicated to summoning an ancestry of queerness in various locations. Bronson and Hobbs conducted thorough research into queer histories of these locations, unearthing hidden gay narratives that were at times erased or forgotten. Text, collages, drawings were combined in ceremonies where cartomancy, sigils and invocations called upon these ancestors, simultaneously paying homage to them and acknowledging their pain, celebrating their lives and calling for guidance. If I am reminded of Bronson and Hobbs, it is because the rituals that accompany del’s work are both imbued with spiritual force and histories of trauma. Their use of text, blurred by stylistic curvatures and spikes, address specific memories, parts of the body or moments in time. These sigils are a reconciliation with a lineage of class struggle, alienation and violence; a coming to terms with sacrificed innocence. These sigils bear testimony to a process of survival. This narrative is a familiar one, one that has defined queer and marginilized communities for hundreds of years. The pieces that fill In the belly are both deskilled and precise, they are organic yet industrial, alchemical but also traditional. Lamb skins hang from metal hooks- remnants of a ritual, they are adorned and suspended appearing both from the future and medieval. Drawings, coated in rabbit skin glue, are lined up in succession, recounting the artist’s journey in making the work, in tattooing across the country, and getting infected by a tick. The Belly harbors eli del’s confessions, their histories, but also their visions and hope for what’s to come.Text by Marie Ségolène C Brault, curator and galerist at Espace Maurice “In The Belly ” will run until July 2nd. <img width="3457" height="5185" width_o="3457" height_o="5185" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5c543ae064c0e249e6ce2722fb1215380255aba0713baf44ad8df29e72d89d48/alignements_150dpi-12.jpg" data-mid="146917139" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5c543ae064c0e249e6ce2722fb1215380255aba0713baf44ad8df29e72d89d48/alignements_150dpi-12.jpg" />Gardienne de l'amour du monde, 2022. 17 x 26 x 12 in.

Their practice makes use of calligraphy, diagrams, drawings, songs and tattoos, tools which allow them to connect to their epigenetic legacy of trauma, poverty, mental health and addiction problems, while invoking an inspiring heritage of witchcraft, visions and spirituality. This process leads to pictorial objects that form an erratic cartography inspired by Chaos Magick, psycho-pop literature and ecofeminist practices. Like molts that result from moments of healing, evolution or involution, their works integrate poetic messages – a sibylline prose that is blurred by sharp and sinuous scribbles and abstruse symbols. This textual aspect of their work is made to be sung, deciphered, or left to interpretation, taking the form of motivational phrases and enigmatic advice that serve as an invitation to regeneration, fluidity and ruin. Graduate of UQAM’s Visual and Media Arts program (2019), they live between europe and Tio’Tia:Ke (Montreal), where their work has been shown in exhibitions, festivals and various public and private spaces such as Projet Casa, Art souterrain and Espace Maurice. They also exhibited pieces in Alcamo (IT), Québec city (CA), Berlin (DE), Brussels (BE) , Youngstown (OH) and Hudson (NY). * éli del (Ariane Gagné) plonge dans des expériences brutes, viscérales et éclairantes pour revenir et partager ce qu'iel a trouvé dans l'abîme. Sa pratique fait usage de la calligraphie, de diagrammes, de dessins, de chansons et de tatouages. Tous des outils qui lui permettent de se connecter à son héritage épigénétique de traumas, de pauvreté, de problèmes de santé mentale et de dépendance, tout en invoquant un legs lumineux de sorcellerie, de visions et de spiritualité. Ce processus aboutit à des objets picturaux qui forment une cartographie erratique inspirée par la Chaos Magick, la psycho-pop et les pratiques écoféministes. Telles des mues résultant de moments de guérison, d'évolution ou d'involution, ses œuvres intègrent des messages poétiques - une prose sibylline que brouillent des gribouillages vifs et sinueux et des symboles abscons. Cet aspect textuel de son travail est conçu pour être chanté, déchiffré ou laissé à l'interprétation, prenant la forme de phrases motivationnelles et de conseils énigmatiques qui invitent à la régénération, à la fluidité et à la ruine. Diplômé-e du programme d'arts visuels et médiatiques de l'UQAM (2019), iel vit entre l’europe et Tio'Tia:Ke (Montréal), où son travail a été présenté dans des expositions, des festivals et divers espaces publics et privés tels que Projet Casa, Art souterrain et Espace Maurice.
