Le projet Art et science Habloom s’expose tout l’été à Rostrenen

, , ,

Based in Rostrenen in central Brittany, La Fourmi-e is an association that develops and promotes art in rural areas. Through its programme of residencies and festivals, La Fourmi-e accompanies and supports artists in the visual and contemporary arts. Every year, the association organises a visual and contemporary art festival called ‘In Cité’ in the public space of Rostrenen. The 10th edition of this festival took place from 5 to 13 June, with the theme of water.

As part of In Cité #10, La Fourmi-e is organising ‘Plongez !’ (Dive in!), a collective photography exhibition with Anso, Hortense Le Calvez and Pauline Isabelle Hégaret, in co-production with Espace d’Apparence, at the Blavet aquatic centre from 13 June to 5 September.

Among these artists, Pauline Isabelle Hégaret collaborated with Hélène Hégaret and Caroline Fabioux as part of their ANR HABIS project. This collaboration between art and science gave rise to the HABLOOM project, which aims to create artistic works around the impacts of harmful algal blooms. These works will be on display all summer long in Rostrenen!

Scientific advances made by the Plastics, Environment and Health Research Group illustrated in cartoons!

, , , ,

The scientific advances of the Plastics, Environment and Health Research Group in drawings! During the annual conference of the Plastics, Environment and Health Research Group (GDR PES) 2024 in Marseille, an artistic collaboration was initiated with author Capucine Dupuy to highlight the research carried out by members of the network in the form of 12 illustrated fact sheets. To carry out this outreach work, Capucine met and discussed with many scientists during the conference and worked closely with the GDR’s scientific advisory board to identify and understand the priority issues and some of the major scientific advances. Illustrations were then produced with the artist Bobika, resulting in the first series of drawings on the scientific advances of the Plastics, Environment and Health Research Group!

This series is available in French and English.

While these fact sheets are not intended to be exhaustive and reflect only a small part of the work carried out at national level on the subject of plastic pollution, they are designed to be distributed as widely as possible throughout society and used as a tool to disseminate current knowledge and improve understanding of the issues related to plastic pollution, in an illustrated and humorous format!

Climclam and Transborder : arts, sciences & transdisciplinarity

,

TranSborder is a collaborative art-science platform of research-action and mediation animated by Isabelle Elizéon (researcher in art-science, art science and transdisciplinarity, visual artist and dramaturge). The platform is supported by the Company LASKO, and funded by the Fondation de France and the City of Brest.

The objective of all the actions carried out by TranSborder in art-science creation, mediation, consultation and training is to bring out new ways of building links between humans and non-humans, of thinking and imagining our “living” worlds from the different practices, imaginations and visions inherent to each universe. TranSborder thus aims to contribute to the valorization of research in the sciences of the sea, inter- and transdisciplinary creation, by creating new types of relationships and hybrid knowledge to respond to climatic and ecological issues. This platform is thus a space for practices and research allowing different types of art-science-society collaboration in order to reflect on adaptive art-science practices and methodologies, to develop training adapted to tomorrow’s challenges for students in the field of marine sciences, arts, education sciences, etc.

To accomplish this, TranSborder is working closely with the LEMAR laboratory and Christine Paillard (CNRS Researcher – LEMAR) on the international research project, IRP Climclam – CNRS, developed until 2027, under the direction of Christine Paillard and Luca Bargelloni (BCA – University of Padova, Italy). Within the IRP, Isabelle Elizéon is coordinator of the AR4 – art-science and transdisciplinarity – and leads various collaborations with the aim of creating connections between the 4 research axes, on the one hand, and on the other hand, to study the dynamics of inter- and transdisciplinary collaborations between artists and scientists. In this context, she collaborates with the artists’ collective Life (Anne Le Mée, Quentin Jourdan and Jérémy Segard), Philippe Arson, videomaker at the CNRS, and various researchers of ClimClam.

It is also through this means that Isabelle seeks to develop links with society as a whole by way of mediation and consultation actions, in order to analyze the dynamics and obstacles between the various actors involved. In 2023 and 2024, the flagship projects of TranSborder are Intimate Chronicles of Science, NacrE and The Art of the Link – the Art of Reconciliation, projects developed with actors in science, art and culture, and more generally with the larger society.
