We have received the specially edited catalog for the exhibition, some photos:

Description:

It is an international collective exhibition on the theme “Art and Life” as part of the “Art and Science” project in collaboration with the Institute of Biology and Biotechnology and the Institute of Fine Arts of the University of Rzeszów in Poland.

We will exhibit 44 artists from different countries and regions: France (Eure, Vexin), Poland, China, Hungary, Indonesia, Slovakia, Spain, USA, Japan, Iran, Ecuador, Korea, Sweden, Mexico.

“Art and Life” is an exhibition where artists try to answer important questions: Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going ? The title of this work painted by Paul Gauguin was the main ideological inspiration of the invited artists.

The exhibition designers assumed that people associated with art or science were interested in researching the surrounding world and its visual form … However, it is difficult to imagine these activities in these fields, without the element of creativity which must be accompanied by a strong feeling of ease in the use of freedom, both artistic and intellectual. Curiosity, creativity and intellectual autonomy are also the most important characteristics of the artists and scientists working on the project.

At the Wela Art Gallery, as part of the presentation of the artistic achievements of the “Art and Life” project, there will also be a demonstration of obtaining dyes isolated from microorganisms and a presentation of their application in art. During the exhibition in Gasny, a work using these dyes will also be presented.

Curators of the exhibition: Elisabeth Wierzbicka (Wela Gallery) and Patrycja Longawa, Miroslaw Pawlowski, Marek A. Olszynski (Institute of Fine Arts of the University of Rzeszów)

Interconnections project for Vign’Art 21

Posted on by

Wela: Interconnections project for Vign’Art 21

Very soon, I am going to Champagne to realize the installation “Interconnections” at the Brugny ditch for the Festival of Contemporary Art and the Land Art “Vign’Art 21”.
You will be able to enjoy it from May 15 to September 15, 2021

“For Vign’Art 2021 I am going to create an installation that evokes the symbiosis of man with nature. I imagine an installation made of forms that recall neurons, which interconnect between them and the environment, between the earth and the sky.
Groups of researchers are discovering interconnections between plants, animals and humans, their findings are more and more astonishing. Neuroscience is discovering the human capacity for healing through meditation, thanks to the brain and heart, the power of neurons to pass messages to future generations, the capacity of emotions to modify our magnetic field and influence others …
Biologists are talking more and more about the capacity of plants to communicate with each other, also animals, etc. The science is going deeper and deeper, but there is still a lot to discover.
We are all connected and interdependent. Only man is lost, removed from his natural environment and he must reconnect to improve life on the planet. I believe art can remind him of the meaning of life.
In my installation, under the title “Interconnections”, the neurons will play this role of messenger.
The installation would consist of several lightweight elements made of wire mesh and colored wire, suspended in the space above a ditch between metal posts.
Openwork, it will allow the visitor to look at the landscape through it. “
