Quand l’art partage les eaux

The question of water, its quality, its preservation and its sharing constitutes the starting point of the film. The sharing of water materializes in the flow of water on either side of the slopes which then flow into the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea but also through the sharing of water, a more than current situation with the threat of warming linked to climate upheaval due to human activity.

The artistic trail project “Le Partage des eaux” piloted by the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Natural Park between the two departments of Haute-Loire and Ardèche is an exemplary manifesto which highlights through around ten artists’ interventions the global issues raised by the watershed.

Quand l’art habite le village

The village of Cuiseaux, located in Saône-et-Loire in the Burgundy region bordering Franche-Comté, is the birthplace of two internationally renowned painters, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes and Edouard Vuillard, two benevolent figures whose aura has literally transformed this town and its territory into a land of painters. Since 2012, the village has hosted the Biennale des Arts, which unites all generations of residents by involving them in the process of creating and installing works in the village’s public space. Children at school, members of several associations, the elderly at the nursing home, and the women of the village are all together, sensitized and mobilized to welcome the art that literally inhabits the village and makes society.
