Parc de sculptures peintes, 2008 Franck Bragigand (France / Amsterdam) Site-specific installation |
Franck Bragigand (The Netherlands) is a painter who makes colour a medium for propaganda, using it to “restore daily life.” He has transformed numerous used objects into works of art and given new life to a primary school in Amsterdam, a tramway in Osaka and a café in the Grand Théâtre of St. Petersburg. During the Manif d’art, he will create a site-specific object in collaboration with the City of Québec and the Consulate General of the Netherlands

Les passants, 2008 Sylvie Cloutier (Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, Québec) Miniature watercolours scattered throughout the city |
Miniature watercolours scattered throughout the city On the street, she sketches small portraits that she subsequently frames. Scattered throughout the city, we discover them by accident, like small visual whispers amid the cacophony of our urban setting. A slender thread linking artist and public. |

Originally from Poland, Ana Rewakowicz explores displacement and cultural differences in a piece that explores the concept of inhabiting. Her sensual and nomadic inflatable structures create links between architecture and the body. The immense inhabitable balloon that she proposes for our collective habitation is like a proposal for alternative social interchange
