Summer
2011 – Normandie - LIEN
ON THE PHOTO ALBUM (Picasa)
A sphere
appeared at feet of the cliffs named "Vaches Noires" in between
Villers-sur-Mer, Auberville, Gonneville-sur-Mer and Houlgate,
in an exceptional wild site ,with its palaeontological wealth
revealed by the fragility of its biodiversity.
This sphere is built with natural materials collected on site.
Floated woods were ligatured with roots and covered with a mixture
of silt, rich in fossils and sold by cliffs, and dry herbs gleaned
in the quite close swamps.
Finally dry,the sculpture was coated with linseed oil, to waterproof
it.
The
construction and the shaping were realized at feet of cliffs nearby
streamed water and at good distance of the biggest tidal ranges.
One month was necessary to realize in-situ the sculpture.
This
open-air workshop instigated curiosity from walkers and fossils
researchers, and so allowed numerous meetings.

Presentation
of the project " Longitude O ° "
"
Longitude O ° " is an artistic course along the meridian,
begun in 2011 and introduced by the visual artist Pierre Guilloteau.
Geodesic link, the meridian of universal
time and space references,connects from the North pole to the
South pole several countries as: England, France , Spain , Algeria
, Mali , Burkina Faso , Togo , Ghana.
The
project consists in creating several human-size spherical evolutionary
structures.
These
polymorphic architectures will be constituted by elements found
on the spot which will allow to create a stiff, carrying, well-balanced
structure,formed by crossings, by axes and by knots. This set
will form a "skeleton" which will be covered with a "flesh" mainly
constituted by local lands and fibers.
The
human-sized shape is an opened spherical structure. It constitutes
one quite united, given rhythm by curves and by edges. It reminds
the vegetal, the mineral, the organic. This network of roots or
branches can protect in its entrails as well as carry towards
the outside.
These
spheres will form themselves and will adorn themselves with elements
connected to the crossed places. They will allow to weave rich
links in geographical and cultural peculiarities.
Technical
and artistic collaborations will be proposed in every stage of
the project.
Mobile
sculpture, space to be invested, this structure invites movements
and meetings. There, performances and choreographs will take place.
There, movies and animations will get shoot . This work will be
meanly focused on space and time.

He
is the initiator of numerous artistic, ceramic and land-art projects
. He intervenes since 2009 within the association " the Source
" in Eure (chaired by Gérard Garouste), and with a various public
as: school classes, families workshops, prison environment. He
is the instigator of "the Ceramic association of Haute-Normandie.
"
The
plastic-clay is the main material of his creation; installations
in - situ, in cliffs of clay, in quarries of brickyard, or thanks
to artistic meetings with potters in Mali and in Burkina Faso.
He also realizes cooked, raw art pieces, movies and photos.
He likes to reveal multiples facets of this material, its transformations
and the carnal relationship which maintains the man for a long
time with it.
He
exposed several times in collective or individual ways in galleries,
exhibitions of contemporary ceramics and historical and cultural
places as well in France as abroad.
Meetings
in Mali and in Burkina Faso forged deep artistic links and allowed
to develop projects since 1997.
The
project " Longitude O ° " vocation's is to weave new artistic
links along the meridian and create new meetings.
Events
in - situ , exhibitions, workshops, paper and internet publications,
photos and movies, will be so much means to communicate and develop
the project.
