The vision of René Derouin Paths and Traces A word from the artistic director Already 10 symposiums! From Territoires rapaillés (1995) to Paths and Traces (2009), the Fondation Derouin this year arrives at is tenth Symposium international d’art in situ after more than a decade of artistic creations and organization of the land area. Under the responsibility of curator Pascale Beaudet, this edition will be the most important in terms of the number of guest artists. Those artists have been invited on this occasion to explore the theme of Paths and Traces. The 2009 Symposium is welcoming a number of guest of considerable stature from disciplines as diverse as the visual arts, poetry, music, philosophy, sociology, history and literature. The Fondation Derouin remains faithful today to the major orientations that have guided it since its creation in 1995: • Promotion of the visual arts Creation of the Jardins du Précambrien. |
