Nøne Futbol Club, founded by Colas Claisse, merges sculpture and performance to convey conceptual ideas using ephemeral objects. The project examines contrasting themes like humor and tragedy, vulnerability and security, and disruption and calm. A notable series features wooden sculptures fashioned to resemble tires, emphasizing the relationship between creativity and destruction. By layering meanings within burnt materials, Claisse critiques societal views on productivity and the violence within contemporary life, often with a touch of irony. This work reflects the complexities of social divides and provokes thought on pressing socio-political issues.
"Since a tree does not grow from its core but from the periphery of its trunk, the cracks resulting from combustion are created concentrically," the artist says.
Nøne Futbol Club's work may sometimes make you smile, but it can also be serious. It highlights the violence inherent in our world, where speed and productivity are seen as all-powerful.
The initiative continues to delve into potent dichotomies like tragedy and humor, vulnerability and security, disruption and calm, and politics and fiction.
The project's role as one that "takes hold of our immediate environment," expressing social divides and examining socio-political issues with a spark of wry humor.
