The French artist Jean Denant, represented by the gallery RocioSantaCru, presents the project À Voix Basse in the Regional Natural Park of Haut Languedoc. This work of art, commissioned by the Fondation de France, is based on the premise of making known the site of Mates basses, testimony to a landscape architectural heritage linked to popular agricultural life. To this end, Denant proposes contemporary art in the least expected place, by hosting a contemporary work that, by its presence, reveals the multiple views that the landscape offers. À Voix basse, 300 cm x 685 cm, is crossed by a seemingly abstract form. Inspired by cartography, it continues the artistic approach of Jean Denant’s work, based on the world map or the Mediterranean as a field of reflection.

Highlights of her early works will be on display, such as ORLAN accouchant…. de elle me aime, videos of the most iconic performances that have positioned him as one of the most controversial and vindictive artists of his generation, such as Le baiser de la artiste, and the most recent series he has produced, Women who cry are angry, a series of hybridizations based on Pablo Picasso’s paintings depicting Dora Maar crying, a special “tribute” by Orlan to the Spanish artist in the year that marks the 50th anniversary of his death.

INVITATION TO THE OPENING

Gonzalo Elvira participates in the documentary Invitation au voyage. Ibiza / Taïwan / Angers, which explores the artistic, cultural and natural heritage of Ibiza, Taïwan and Angers from the perspective of Walter Benjamin. Gonzalo Elvira brings his artistic perspective and the inspiration that the German philosopher brings to his work from Ibiza, a place of inspiration for both. For the German Jewish philosopher Walter Benjamin, the island of Ibiza was a true refuge. In 1932, the thinker, translator and art critic fled the precariousness of his life in Berlin. On the white island of Ibiza, where he met with other European intellectuals, Walter Benjamin immersed himself in local traditions to perfect his anti-capitalist thought. In this ephemeral haven of peace he wrote some of his most important texts.
