“L’ART et La VIE 2” (Art & Life 2) is an international artistic and scientific project that includes the exhibition “Life and Death”, as well as the scientific symposium “CREATION – DURATION – PASSAGE – RENAISSANCE”. A first set of works is presented in France, a second circulates in Europe.

The initiators and main coordinators of the project are the Institute of Fine Arts of the University of Rzeszów and the Department of Biotechnology of the University of Rzeszów (Poland), as well as the Wela Art Gallery (Gasny, France).

Art, life, death… the exhibition brings together various ways of evoking these subjects with, as a backdrop, historically documented practices. In traditional painting, some still lifes represent slaughtered game or weapons and the vanitas highlight the triumph of death; these pictorial genres explicitly address the issue of human frailty and vanity.

Today, the question of waste (see the New Realists), the interest in everyday gestures (see the practices of happening and performance), the accumulation of goods (see Pop art) or the relationship of humans with nature (see Land art), form a range of contemporary approaches, which are intended to be critical of our desire to consume, our materialism and their impact on natural resources and the environment. So many artistic tracks that evoke the duality of living/dying that we are confronted with.

•••

The itinerant operation of the project with 41 artists and scientists required working in modest and easy-to-install formats; which excluded the possibility of mounting installations or performances, approaches that many of the artists present also practice.

美學聚落 Aesthetics Tribes

le 14 novembre à 03:28  · #諾曼第#山城藝術節#ArtFestival#WelaArt#Gasny#Dialogues

由美學導師Elisabeth Wierzbicka與Magda Sawczuk共同策展的第一屆Gasny festival d’art -Gasny藝術節,於11/5-11/13精彩展出,這次藝術節的主題命名為 《Dialogues》,即《對話》的意思。

在藝術節期間展出八位來自不同背景與創作手法的藝術家作品,展現藝術的多向性與豐富性,透過陳列讓作品之間產生對話;參與者與藝術家的互動交流,更是深入解作品的故事,也讓他們與作品之間發生對話與共鳴;而本次的藝術節地點選在具有深厚文化的Saint-Nicaise修道院舉辦,也充分展現出現代與過去時間歷史之間的對話。

藝術的產出來自與生活之間、與人之間、與萬物之間的深度對話,而美學也悄悄地發生在彼此之間。

十分榮幸美學聚落可以為Gasny festival d’art – Gasny藝術節支持單位之一,讓台法之間也發生一場美好的藝術的對話。#美學碰撞#法國絲路#台法對話交流#美學聚落

Exhibition at Maison du Temps Jadis in Vernon

WELA (Elisabeth Wierzbicka) – Franco/Polish multidisciplinary artist, lives and works since 1989 in France, sculptor, painter, author of numerous spatial installations.

She recently set up her workshop-gallery in Gasny in Eure where she shows international exhibitions. Accustomed to creating monumental Land Art installations, this time at the Maison du Temps Jadis, she will show her most intimate works: paintings and drawings inspired by Nature.

A micro-macro cosmos generated by the overflowing imagination of the artist proves his inspiration from natural science, from nature.

Wela’s paintings are not figurative, but abstract or semi-abstract. Wela uses sensual lines, plant forms, spaces from a very specific universe of the artist.

The observation of various natural scenes, books on science and nature, dreams, lived experience nourishes the inspiration necessary for the creation of artistic works.
