Residency
Ma Cité idéale, entre lumière et mouvements
Lucas Grandin
from February to July 2013
From February to June 2013, the artist Lucas Grandin is in residency of creation and experimentation at Jean Moulin primary school. Visual artist, creator of sound gardens in Africa, the work of Lucas Grandin mixes with humor and poetry, DIY, sound, video, architecture and urbanism.
During 4 months, Lucas Grandin develops with the students of the nursery school Jean Moulin (Rennes, Villejean) a project of construction and projection on the theme of “the ideal city”. It is questioning the border between dream and reality, concrete space and projected space, by creating a theater of shadows and light from collected materials, mixed sounds … In the space of the workshop to the school, students contribute to the realization of an installation mixing light, objects of recovery, low tech, cartonnage, shadows, videos and sound machines.
The residency includes several workshop times: video presentation times of Lucas Grandin’s works made in Rotterdam, Douala, Rennes, Sao Tome; “discovery workshops” of urban planning projects and their diversity in Africa and Europe; the intervention of professionals and urban planners in the classrooms; video workshops, drawings and installations; a public presentation of the creations and the diffusion …
The residency is linked to other projects led by Lucas Grandin, in Nantes (in collaboration with the artist and urban planner Kamiel Verschuren of Rotterdam, the NAC Foundation, the R_ collective and the Paradise gallery) and Douala in Cameroon as part of the “SOUTH 2013” Urban Art Triennial. For this occasion, the students of Jean Moulin school engaged a correspondence with the New Bell school in Douala and went on a trip to Nantes on June 14th.
