CreArt: Residence opportunity in Rouen, France (artists from Zagreb, Skopje, Lublin, or Katowice)

22/04/2018

Following the invitation of the City of Rouen, a collective of artists, called Nos Années Sauvages, and run by 2 artists and curators Sylvain Wavrant and Thomas Cartron, organize their 6th festival during the autumn 2018. Several exhibitions, theatre shows, residencies and short movies are planned in different places all over Rouen. All the events are focused on the topic of art & nature.

Within the framework of this festival, Nos Années Sauvages, the City of Rouen (France) and CreArt will organize a dual exhibition featuring the works of 2 artists: one artist from Rouen, Julie Tocqueville and one artist from a CreArt city partner, to be selected through this Open Call.

The CreArt dual exhibition will take place at the exhibition area- Porte 10 - belonging to the hospital center of Rouen, from November, 30th 2018 to January, 18th 2019. The opening is on the 30th at 6 pm.

Because it is at the very core of the existence of Nos Années Sauvages, the topic of the exhibition will be the link between art and nature, the figures of the wild, the animal, the vegetal, the mineral and how they echo our contemporary society.

The French artist selected by Nos Années Sauvages is Julie Tocqueville. The open call will select the artist dialoging with her artwork.

From the 19th to the 30th of November 2018, the two artists will work as a pair during a short residence at the Victor Hugo artistic lab, Rouen in order to create a “four hand” piece.

The exhibition in Porte 10 will therefore present their own existing works and also their collaborative work(s).
