News June 2023 Since the summer of 2021, Labanque has been working with Gilles Bruni in the region. He is developing artistic projects around the Lacquette watercourse in the north-west of the CABBALR from Estrée-Blanche via Liettres, Blessy, Quernes and Witternesse. Her artistic interests have focused on the landscape, the ecology of the area, its inhabitants and their stories, and the different uses to which water is put. After a two-year residency in the area, following the Lacquette from upstream to downstream, Gilles Bruni embarked on an artist-colporteur approach: going from place to place, spotting and gathering materials from nature and the stories told by local residents... as witnesses of his encounters with the river. To mark the end of Gilles Bruni's residency, the public is invited to take part in the "encampments". These are eight public meetings, organised from Estrée Blanche to Witternesse. Each camp is set up for a short time along the Lacquette. Conceived as an open-air exhibition, the encampment is an opportunity to discover everything the artist has collected (materials, stories, etc.) and to chat with him or her. Labanque is a cultural facility belonging to the Communauté d'Agglomération de Béthune-Bruay, Artois Lys Romane.

Many artists stop off here, finding a structure that welcomes them and helps them to create. The Bois de Beauport, the abbey and its coastline now form a remarkable 120-hectare natural site, owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral. To create his work "Le bois des rencontrés", Gilles Bruni investigated the links that the people of Paimpol have forged with this little-known forest. The stories and maps reveal a silent but powerful attachment to the ordinary nature that makes up our everyday environment. Presented to the public during les Nuits des Forêts (Forest Nights), Friday 17, Saturday 18 and Sunday 20 June 2022.

Réseau plunges us into the heart of the essential principle of what makes forests, the intertwining and interconnectivity of species that form such a rich system. The forest is a place in constant rebalancing. The "networks" which constitute it are bridges in which energy circulates so that the whole can subsist and make a "forest". Gilles Bruni's work here sheds light on these links inherent in this complex and fragile environment, the installation thus conveys the message of the vulnerability of this balance.

During a visit Gilles Bruni noticed the presence of stone pebbles in the nearby rural path, a pebble is a stone-being that saw the flow of water. These pebbles are for him as actors and users of Chosal, passing through. These mark the life of the farm in one way or another. Chosal is the fruit of a multitude of presences, that gives her identity.

The subtitle, Pérégrinations au lac de Grand-Lieu, July 2016 to 2017, marks this long time of the artist's follow-up during his residence around the lake. For a year, from season to season, accompanied by the association l’Esprit du Lieu, Gilles Bruni took the lake and its marshes, sometimes crossing it, often bypassing it, to find out more about this place which is not open to the visitor. Gilles Bruni went to meet human and non-human riparian residents to forge his own experience of the place and produce artistic forms that he is not so familiar with, such as mask-hide or hybrid sculptures between the animal and the plant. Gilles Bruni brought out the figure of the 'Grande Bloute', a 'mask-cache' that emerged from his encounter with Grand-Lieu. La Margirondière June 2019 The association l'Éclaircie has repeatedly affirmed the importance of cultural openness, we are convinced that being a citizen means having access to all forms of culture. In this context, an artist residency project was initiated at the end of 2017 with artist Gilles Bruni. It will run from 2018-2019. This action is carried out in partnership with the Jardin de Verre, the Education Nationale and today with the École d'art, which welcomes us to its premises. At the art school in Cholet, impasse des Charuelles, from May 5 to 25, Gilles Bruni presents "Itinérance", installed with the collaboration of the team that is now accompanying him in Margirondière and the participation of students from the school's preparatory academic Art school. June 14 will be the highlight of his residence, a time of meeting with the public will be organized on the site, near the lake.

The project implemented in the patio is evolutive, progressive, like a long performance nourished by the reactions and exchanges with the people of students crossed, solicited, or in the framework of collaborations with those of Plastic Arts. The project was fuelled by "rumours" that circulated during the autumn, materials - "scraps" - recovered from the school, punctuating the camp, giving rise to a feeling of "shipwreck", a situation of abandonment: an uninhabited place, perceived as inhospitable. This culminated in the effect of the storm that brought several tents to the ground, damaging or washing them away, pushing the organization to rebuild somewhat on site. With the last phase, after the winter holidays, the latent photographic project became a new concern, adopting a voyeuristic posture; this one presents the site of common points of view for students from their classrooms, arranged around the patio. A small publication planned with the Visual Arts teachers should make it possible to restore the spirit and adventure of this camp that has emerged and is taking place in the heart of the Lycée. Friday, March 15, a presentation of the work of the residence is scheduled at 17h, at Lycée Notre-Dame, Challans, 2 rue du Bois Fossé.

He is particularly interested in the ecology of a place, its inhabitants and their history. He often, therefore, builds collaborations and partnerships with others to make work happen. His art works and field activities have taken him beyond France to Germany, the USA, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Austria and Venezuela. We are delighted that this residency will be his first in the UK. At Hestercombe he is drawn to the Landscape Garden and the potential restoration of an eighteenth century ‘Hermitage’. From 9th July he will become Hestercombe’s own ‘Hermit’; building a shelter and reacting with visitors. Not only does this work relate to the history of Hestercombe but for the artist it also resonates with today’s migrant crisis. The hermit's walk: on Thursday 12th July and Wednesday 18th July, Gilles will lead a walk to some of the hidden sites of Hestercombe.

In residence since autumn, 2017, the artist has surveyed the Domaine de Kerguéhennec. Observing the various uses of places, his steps lead him to the meeting of the fishermen, the joggers, the walkers, the mushroom pickers, the art lovers, the staffs of the center of art, the neighbors, the visitors … Every meeting acts as a revelation of the landscape: a old system of irrigation is brought to light here, a ditch testifies of the old agricultural activity there, trees fallen during storms become the places of an important biodiversity, in it under wood the light becomes green … Fed by his first meetings, Gilles Bruni begins a performance: a wandering through the woods and valleys, presented to the Meetings in gardens in 2017. then he pulls a protocol of work and creation which he activates in the course of individual walking realized with people from the town of Bignan. Through these walking, the emotion and the knowledge of the places of each train a domain for the multiple faces. In the Detached house of walking (Le Pavillon des Marches), Gilles Bruni shares the tracks of these 'artpentages': noted routes, texts, plans, photos are so many elements allowing to feed the experience of the place and to understand the work in the course of an artist in residence. Within the the time of the exhibitions presented from July 1th till November 4th, 2018 to the Domaine de Kerguéhennec, The detached house of walking will be open to the public.

During two years, by the enchantment of Arrangement, the castle filled up with seagoing characters between invention and reality, the gardener, the artist, the visitor, followed by the small underground crowd of the plants which live in the place. To the rhythm of seasons, 14 stations fanned out in areas divided by the ruins to offer a parallel history. In the course of dialogue, they wonder about their report in the place, in the visitor and in the plant. In the course of pictures they rebuild the space of Arrangement, weave sometimes fine links with an intimate story of art and practice of Gilles Bruni. Jean-Louis Vincendeau, historian of art and of gardens, carries a poetic look on the whole plant Arrangement. + Website editor - - - - - - - - - - - - enCAMPMENT De Gilles Bruni et EMILIE SCHWARTZ Video accomplished as part of a residence organised by the Metroploitan area 'Artois Comm.' in the City of the Electricians, City of Bruay-la-Buissière.

ART and ENVIRONMENT" NATHALIE BLANC and JULIE RAMOS (EDITIONS MANUELLA) At a time when environment is in the middle of public concerns, "Écoplasties" introduces a panorama of protocols, problems and answers which artists of the whole world develop, each in their way, to consider environment in another way. Work shows the diversity of steps and of question settings, both as regards the transformations of artistic practices, in proposals and productions, and the new reports in the environment which they implicate. Artists' about twenty discuss so with the authors to explain their link specific for the question of environment. These discussions are preceded of a broad introduction which, by offering a bet in historical perspective, allows to take all measure of this environmental art, its mutations and of its development of the beginning of this century in today.

Comment en est-on arrivé là ? Telle est la question qui se pose quand on compare cet environnement vierge de toute urbanisation à l’état des friches industrielles et des villes polluées. Dans cet ouvrage, on retrouvera des illustrations présentant les travaux exposés lors de cette manifestation. Celles-ci sont accompagnées de textes, parfois écrits par les artistes eux-mêmes, expliquant les démarches artistiques. Enfin, il s’agit d’un hommage au Land Art dont les œuvres d’art « géoplasticiennes » font du spectateur un acteur à part entière de la création. Et ainsi, selon Hicham-Stéphane Afeissa, « l’œuvre d’art peut bien être en attente de ceux qui sauront en recevoir la lumière. Elle peut bien être en état de veille, en situation de vigile, montant la garde à l’avant-garde. Veilleuse du monde. » 20 euros - 176 pages Site de l'éditeur  - - - - - - - - - - - - The Gardener, The Excavator and the ARTIST, GILLES BRUNI (ZÉDÉLÉ ÉDITIONS) 7e publication de Gilles Bruni à paraître aux éditions Zédélé, Le Jardinier, la Pelleteuse et l'Artiste est publié en partenariat avec le Domaine départemental de Chamarande, à l’occasion de l’installation de l’artiste dans le parc. 5 euros - 20 pages - 18,5 x 26 cm - impression offset nb - brochure agrafée [ + Lire la suite ] [ + Lire la fiche installation ]  - - - - - - - - - - - - |
