Lancé à l'occasion du Congrès mondial de la nature de l'UICN Marseille 2021, en collaboration avec art of change 21 et corail artefact, cette animation nouvelle génération permet à chacun de se voir mué en corail. Placé au niveau de la bouche, ce récif à petite échelle matérialise à quel point le corail est important pour notre planète car il produit l'oxygen que nous respirons en captant le CO2 et en le transformant en O2.

PHENOMENE IN SITU

dimensions variables, longue-vue, système de captation temps réel et programme informatique

en collaboration avec Christian Laroche

Produit pour La littorale 2021, L'écume des vivants : Biennale Internationale d'Art Contemporain d'Anglet

Celui qui se penche sur cette longue-vue sera surpris, il ne verra pas tout à fait le paysage auquel il s'attend : au-dessus de la ligne d'horizon apparaissent progressivement trois pins puis une forêt. Reprenant les phénomènes optiques naturels du mirage grâce à un mécanisme de réalité augmentée, Jérémy Gobé détourne cet objet touristique et met en scène le blason de la Ville d'Anglet. Celui-ci rappelle sa devise " La mer et la forêt de pins pour m'aider " et les piliers traditionnels de son économie, la pêche et la récolte de résine de pins. Il crée ainsi un tourisme alternatif porté sur l'imaginaire.

Pour cette troisième activation de la série Promesses, j'ai sculpté avec du fil un t-shirt que louis m'a confié. Il l'a acheté lors de son premier séjour à New York, ville qui l'a à la fois fasciné et effayé. Fasciné car il y découvrait la vie underground et artistique de cette ville monde et effrayée par sa saleté et sa noirceur dans certains quartiers. Quand il a pris le métro pour la première fois, il a été traumatisé par les rats énormes et sans peur qu'il croisait. Juste à côté de la bouche du métro, une boutique Ralph lauren vendait des t-shirt brodés avec un rat sur la poitrine. C'était le premier vétement de sa collection qui compte aussi bien des habits que des oeuvres plastiques.

Tom Uttech

Wisconsin native, Tom Uttech paints outside of Milwaukee in his converted barn-studio. The gallery has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the artist since his first exhibition here in 1990. His beautiful paintings feed our expectations of the wilderness, one that is both raw and wild, familiar and welcoming. Uttech's world is one of waterways, shorelines, and tumbling rocks precariously perched within thickets of growth. His world is woven together with both imagined and real elements.

Acclaimed landscape painter, Tom Uttech receives inspiration from his many travels to Northern Minnesota, and the Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. These large format photographs are a great compliment to his mystical paintings.

"Since these pictures are about nature and our role in it, the knowledge gained might grow into love of nature, and thus into concern for its well being. This concern could lead to action to protect nature and, therefore, ourselves. The best response to my paintings would be for you to...go straight to the wildest piece of land you can find and sit down to let it wash over you and tell you secrets." -Tom Uttech

The central theme in the art of herman de vries (Alkmaar NL 1931) ‘nature is art’ is convincing, the presentation of his art: earth and ashes, rubbings, leaves, pieces of wood, installations and text drawings, is both radical and appealing.

"To see a World in a Grain of Sand"
(William Blake)

My work comes into being in the space where science fact and science fiction meet and merge.

Inspired by the narratives of scientific discovery and innovation that increasingly dominate contemporary culture my work is an attempt by a non-scientist, an outsider, to visualize, comprehend and assimilate these new ideas and new ways of seeing the world, whether it involves our changing perception of bacteria or the paradigm shifts in our comprehension of the physical world that emerge from quantum physics.

My choice of paper cutting as a vehicle for this exploration of our changing perception of nature is based on its accessibility and simplicity as a medium. The transformation of a banal, quotidian material into something visually extraordinary parallels and echoes the radical changes in our vision of the familiar world that science engenders.

A recurrent theme in my work is the limitations of science when confronted by the vast scale and complexity of nature. Science's goal of containing and defining nature is constantly subverted and fractured by the sheer volume and variety of data that needs to be observed, analysed and classified. This is figured in the excessive detail that characterizes my work as I attempt to overwhelm the eye through the scale and volume of what I depict.

Process and material are crucial; the large hand cut pieces are dissected from sheet after sheet of paper in careful scientific fashion with a scalpel knife, sometimes taking months to complete, the slow act of cutting repeating the long time-based processes that dominate nature: growth, decay and re-growth; whereas the laser cut works push both machine and material to their limits.

Paper, my chosen material, embodies the paradoxical qualities that we see in nature: its fragility and durability, its strength and delicacy; there is a pleasing poetic symmetry in taking this material that was cut from the forest and by cutting and transforming it once again returning it to its origins.

Wilson Hurley was born in Tulsa and spent his early years in Virginia and New Mexico. The beauty of New Mexico and its art traditions led to his early interest in painting. Trained as a pilot at West Point and an early tour of duty in the Philippines encouraged the broad perspective that enriches his work. His extensive studies of history, art history and the sciences give his work a sense of reality that he has edited in the best tradition of representational art. The catalog of his work illustrates his wide-ranging interest in landscape, outer space, aerospace, as well as portraiture and still life and is an attempt to present a complete accounting of his work.

Wilson Hurley spent much of his life in New Mexico, a place that helped to shape his refined view of landscape. Although he has often been compared to great landscape painters of the Hudson River School his paintings are definitively part of more modern depiction of landscape.

A primary figure among the concept-based artists who emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, Agnes Denes is internationally known for works created in a wide range of mediums. A pioneer of several art movements, she is difficult to categorize. Investigating science, philosophy, linguistics, psychology, poetry, history, and music, Denes's artistic practice is distinctive in terms of its aesthetics and engagement with socio-political ideas. As a pioneer of environmental art, she created Rice/Tree/Burial in 1968 in Sullivan County, New York which, according to the renowned art historian and curator Peter Selz, was "probably the first large scale site-specific piece anywhere with ecological concerns."

Wheatfield - A Confrontation, which the scholar and curator Jeffrey Weiss, has called "perpetually astonishing . . . one of Land Art's great transgressive masterpieces" ( Artforum, September 2008) is perhaps Agnes Denes's best-known work. It was created during a four-month period in the spring and summer of 1982 when Denes, with the support of the Public Art Fund, planted a field of golden wheat on two acres of rubble-strewn landfill near Wall Street and the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan (now the site of Battery Park City and the World Financial Center). Among her many other artistic achievements is Tree Mountain-A Living Time Capsule, a monumental earthwork, reclamation project and the first man-made virgin forest, situated in Ylöjärvi, in Western Finland. The site was dedicated by the President of Finland upon its completion in 1996 and is legally protected for the next four hundred years.

Agnes Denes is also known for her innovative use of metallic inks and other non- traditional materials in creating a prodigious body of exquisitely rendered drawings and prints that delineate her explorations in mathematics, philosophy, geography, science and other disciplines. Works by Agnes Denes are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; the Art Institute of Chicago; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Moderna Museet, Stockholm; the Centre Pompidou in Paris; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the KunsthalleNürnberg and many other major institutions worldwide.

She has completed public and private commissions in North and South America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East, and has received numerous honors and awards including four fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and four grants from the New York State Council on the Arts; the DAAD Fellowship, Berlin, Germany (1978); the American Academy of Arts and Letters Purchase Award (1985); M.I.T's highly prestigious Eugene McDermott Achievement Award "In Recognition of Major Contribution to the Arts" (1990); the Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome (1998); the Watson Trans-disciplinary Art Award from Carnegie Mellon University (1999); the Anonymous Was a Woman Award (2007); and the Ambassador's Award for Cultural Diplomacy for Strengthening the Friendship between the US and the Republic of Hungary through Excellence in Contemporary Art (2008).

Denes holds honorary doctorates from Ripon College, Ripon, Wisconsin and Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania and has had fellowships at the Studio for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University and the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at M.I.T. She lectures extensively at colleges and universities throughout the United States and abroad and participates in global conferences. She is the author of six books and is featured in numerous other publications on a wide range of subjects in art and the environment.

Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1931, Agnes Denes was raised in Sweden and educated in the United States. Since her exhibition career began in the 1960s, she has participated in more than 450 exhibitions at galleries and museums throughout the world including, among others, solo shows at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (1974); the Institute of Contemporary Art, London (1979) and retrospective surveys at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. (1992); the Samek Art Gallery, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa. (2003); and the Ludwig Museum, Budapest, Hungary (2008). Her work has also been featured in such international surveys as the Biennale of Sydney (1976); Documenta 6, Kassel, Germany (1977); the Venice Biennale (1978, 1980, 2001), and more recently The Last Freedom: From the Pioneers of Land Art of the 1960s to Nature in Cyberspace, Ludwig Museum, Koblenz, Germany (October 16, 2011); Systems, Actions & Processes: 1965 - 1975, PROA Foundation, Buenos Aires (through September, 2011); Erre: Variations Labyrinthiques, Centre Pompidou, Metz (September 12, 2011 - March 5, 2012); and Light Years: Conceptual Art and the Photograph: 1964 - 1977, Art Institute of Chicago (December 11, 2011 - March 11, 2012).

Agnes Denes is represented in New York by Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects, New York.

Insect Art: Hubert Duprat - A Storied Style

Insect Art: Hubert Duprat

While researching information for a completely different blog post subject, I discovered the French artist, Hubert Duprat. I was immediately mesmerized. One of my internal goals is to teach myself more about art. Real art. To know about artists today and what they are creating. Before the end of 2013, I would love to own a present day piece of art. Something I can pass down. Something I love. It doesn't have to be big, it just needs to be special and have a soul. I'll know it when I see it.

Nevertheless, I saw this collection of Duprat's entitled "Caddis", and I was fascinated. Caddisfly larvae live in streams and other fresh water sources, housing themselves in tubes they have created from items in their natural environment. Using sand, pieces of shell, etc., the caddisfly, a close relative of the butterfly, uses silk to connect and upholster their protective tubes. A naturalist at heart, Mr. Duprat experimented with the larvae, placing them in a home aqaurium with pieces of gold, gold rods, semi-precious, and precious stones. They immediately went to work, creating this:

Isn's this incredibly beautiful? Quite the collaboration between man and insect, yes?

Duprat describes himself in the following video as an "architect" laying the plans and watching them take shape. In another article I read, he talked of puncturing the tubes at times, and placing new stones like opal, coral, diamonds, and rubies in the aquarium, so the larvae would "repair" the tube, and thus create something with more varied material. He discusses the "Caddis" collection starting at 2:32. (although I enjoyed hearing about all of his work)

See the caddisfly larvae up close and personal "bejewelling" his home in the following video. (My kids found this so interesting.)

I guess even insects like a little bedazzling, eh?

What do you think about Mr. Duprat's concept? Is it art created by an artist? Or simply nature interrupted?

Wouldn't these photos make a unique framed set on a wall?
