IX BALCONADAS BIENNIAL





Betanzos is a municipality in Galicia, Spain, in the Province of A Coruña. Betanzos was formerly called by its ancient Latin name Brigantium.The town is located in a fertile valley close to the Atlantic Ocean, and it has one of the best preserved old quarters in Galicia. Noteworthy is the Igrexa de San Francisco (St Francis Church), erected in 1387 by order of count Fernán Pérez de Andrade, whose tomb, decorated with hunting scenes, can be seen inside of the church. The Igrexa de Santiago (St Jacques Church), built in the 15th century by the guild of tailors, has a main portal decorated with a horseback statue of Saint Jacques. Other sights in the town are several town palaces, a 16th-century clock tower, and the town walls, which preserve three of their original four gates. There are two celebrations in Betanzos in August each year. At the festival of San Roque, a very large paper balloon is launched. And later in August, decorated boats sail along the river to the nearby Os Caneiros. Each two years, on september, trere are this nice international biennial of paintings where we can apreciate the works hanging in the old balconys.

LES POTEAUX POTES





Instalation ~ 60 cm perimeter x 350 cm ~ print on plastic bubble sheets ~ 2008

When first time I arrived in Pavé d'Orsay, I've seen that, in the center of the exhibition's room, there was two white poles; so, in that moment, I began to work in a concept, trying to integrate them on the exhibition. The two white poles means to me "repetition" and a clean base to show some kind of print. I choose to use the plastic bubble sheets because it is a kind of poor material, it is transparent and have a surface that 'calls' people to touch it. Using a simple cork (take form a good bootle of french wine) and acrilyc paint, I've print two identic targets, one to each pole.

SCENERY TO "LE DIVAN DU MONDE"






Le Divan du Monde thrives on romantic notions of France. Formerly Le Divan Japonais, this Paris club and concert venue used to be the haunt of seething poet Baudelaire and painter Toulouse-Lautrec. Today, the Divan du Monde is one of the best nightclubs and venues the city has to offer. There I was commissioned to hang a scenery on a unforgettable night: the concerts of Coco Mbassi and Kevin Max. To create that “décor” I mixed some grilles, mirrors, metal doors, drawings and video. In my design, I’ve tried to construct a good ambience beetween visual art, music and the traditional architecture presenting on the stage.

Coco Mbassi is a highly accomplished singer, composer and arranger whose home country is Cameroon. Moving to France, Coco started using her singing talent as a backing singer for some of the well known African music stars: Salif Keita, Toure Kunda, Oumou Sangare and Manu Dibango as well as some international singers like Dee Dee Bridgewater and Demis Roussos. She went on to receive the German Critics Award for her first solo album, Sepia and was nominated in the Newcomer category in the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in 2003. Coco describes her music as a tree with African roots and branches that spread to many other places.

Kevin Max showed incredible vocal and musical talent early in his life. Later, at Liberty University, he met Toby McKeehan and Michael Tait. Together they formed dc Talk. The band went on to win four Grammys, 16 Dove Awards, and other recognitions. However, they decided to take an extended "intermission" in 2000. In recent years, Kevin has attempted to create a name for himself apart from dc Talk. He insists, "My music is for a Christian and a Buddhist to pick up and still enjoy, as well as for an atheist. But it is there to prod and ask some questions: What's my worldview? What do I believe in, and why do I believe it?"

PAINTER IN ACTION







Sometimes I'm invited to paint something as a part of a concert. I like to do this kind of performance: it's a opportunity to share some message with lots of people on the same time. In this occasion I have been in Canguçú, a little town in far south of Brazil, where people don't have access to see art.

EXHIBITION "LE FACTEUR HUMAIN"
Could you find the "Humanos"?





72 prints of 72 artists from 10 countryes - print techniques on paper - 18 x 18 cm Luxembourg, 2004
"Le facteur humain, par définition est celui de l’inconnue, de l’incalculable, du risque, de l’erreur, du maillon faible. Au cours de mes nombreux contacts avec des artistes de partout du monde, le facteur humain m’a toujours semblé quelque chose de positif, d’enrichissant, dépassant l’ intérêt purement professionnel. Ainsi j’ai fait de belles rencontres, trouvé des copains généreux, des amis. Le Facteur Humain, Sylvie et AmiEs, est la réponse de 77 artistes d’origines différentes à mon invitation. Les œuvres sur papier, toutes techniques confondues, 18 X 18 cm, seront présentées en forme de muraille".
Sylvie Karier
This exhibiton happened in a art place called Chapelle du Rham. The curator was Sylvie Karier, the person responsible for the Atelier Empreinte.
