From art practice to social encounter
We are proud to present our book - DVD that looks at two major events of the 10th anniversary of the Journées – an art event, The Convertibles and an international forum under the theme of cultural mediation, La Rencontre.
The texts — by Sylvette Babin, Louis Jacob, Nadine Lizotte, Louise Sicuro — describe experiments and works that were launched by artists, organizations and municipalities and that renewed the relationship between art, artists and their fellow citizens. The DVD explains the process involved in the creation of
The Convertibles and presents excerpts from La Rencontre. |
