Pour ce dernier volet de la saison, le centre des arts invite l’esprit prolifique de Maurice Benayoun à investir ses espaces ainsi que ceux de la Médiathèque George Sand d’Enghien-les-Bains autour de deux propositions différentes. Jouant un rôle majeur dans le domaine des nouveaux médias, de l'image de synthèse et de la création numérique, il réalise entre 1990 et 1993 la série Quarxs en collaboration avec François Schuiten et Benoît Peeters. Ce programme est la toute première série en images de synthèse 3D haute définition et sera montré à la Médiathèque George Sand d’Enghien-les-Bains accompagné de tous les dessins et objets préparatoires ayant servi à la réalisation de ce projet.
Parallèlement à ces recherches, Maurice Benayoun s'atèle à un travail plus personnel en élaborant au quotidien un répertoire d’esquisses, de projets difficilement réalisables, de concepts pertinents, délirants, ou flottants qu’il dépose sans distinction dans un espace qu’il nomme The Dump (La Décharge).
L’exposition Out of the dump au centre des arts propose donc de puiser parmi ces projets inédits, etd’extraire de cet espace un panel inédit d’installations, de démonstrations et d’images qui prolongeront l’univers de l’artiste.

The arts center invites the prolific mind of Maurice Benayoun to invest its spaces as well as those of the Mediatheque George Sand of Enghien-les-Bains on two different proposals. Playing a major role in the field of new media, computer graphics and digital creation, he made between 1990 and 1993 the Quarxs series in collaboration with François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters. This program is the first in series of high-definition 3D image synthesis and will be shown at the Library of George Sand Enghien-les-Bains accompanied by all the preparatory drawings and objects used in this project. Parallel to this research, Maurice Benayoun is endeavoring to more personal work by developing a daily sketches repertoire, difficult to implement projects, relevant concepts, delusional, or floating it and deposits it without distinction in a space that is called The Dump (The Dump). The exhibition Out of the dump in the arts center proposes to draw from these unique projects, extracting this space a unique range of facilities, demonstrations and images that extend the artist's world.
