The wash house of Les Herbiers


Categories / Exhib.

g f t p
From March 16 to May 12, an exhibition took place that resumed part of the adventure that began in Noirmoutier as well as a series on sports.
In a unique location, visitors could discover two new creations specific to the town of Les Herbiers, as well as a gallery created by students in the Art Plastique option from the 8th and 9th grades of Collège Jean Yole.

Working with the middle school students was an extraordinary adventure, as the project was to get them to work on a complete creative process. Under our guidance, they produced works ranging from simple sketches to framed photographs in their own exhibition room, which they presented to the principal during the exhibition opening.
We were very proud of them because the work they submitted exceeded our expectations.

Daruma pasta

When our friend Akïo offered us to post an image in the city of Takasaki in Japan, we did not want to use an old image. True to our commitment to relevance to orders and products, we learned to our surprise that the city of Takasaki best known for the Daruma also had a specialty, exotic to say the least in Japan: Pasta! No, not oudon, soba and other Ramen, but wheat pasta in the Italian way. There’s even a festival!

Rich in information we left with three axes: Pasta, Daruma and Typhon, another Japanese specialty.
Nature the typhoon generating a beautiful tornado carrying everything, the spaghetti seemed to us perfectly to stick with the subject. Although he imagined replacing meatballs with Daruma, something was missing from the image.
The recipe is a Japanese adaptation of Neapolitan spaghetti.

This is where the flying saucer piloted by a gluttonous Daruma comes who by sucking the spaghetti causes a tornado!

The photo was made with real pasta and the shaping of the tornado required a lot of patience (See pictures and video HERE and THERE on Instagram)

The artists exhibited during the ART PROJECT TAKASAKI

高崎アートプロジェクトのオーガナイザーでもある私たちの友人アキオさんから出展の依頼を受けた時、高崎という街にちなんだテーマを探すのに頭を悩ましました。

高崎市といえばまずダルマを思い起こしますが、驚いたことに、高崎市は実はパスタでも有名でした。群馬県が小麦の生産量高いということにも関係するのでしょうか、いずれにしてもパスタフェスティバルまで毎年開催されているとのこと。

ということで、今回の作品は3つのテーマでスタートしました。ダルマ、パスタ、そして日本の風物詩でもある台風です。台風の竜巻がパスタを巻き上げる、そこまでは良いのですが、何か面白みに欠ける。
そこで大食いだるまが空飛ぶ円盤に乗ってやって来て、パスタを吸い上げると竜巻が発生!というシーンとなりました。
写真には本物のパスタを使いましたが、この造形に仕上げるのにかなりの時間と忍耐が必要でした。
