Creating artworks with a sculptor

 

He matters to write his name with lower case. The artist porte renaud is a young sculptor currently living in Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin) after spending some time in Berlin. Until 17th August, he is participating in a creative residence on Saint-Saturnin-du-Bois archeological site, "to work on an interactive creation as visitors are asked to take part in my sculptural gesture".

 

Vitalizing the site

Organized by Perle Lesimple, a cultural mediator for the communauté de communes (community of communes) of Aunis Sud, this residence contributes to vitalize the site where take place workshops, theater meetings or "aperitif excavations" which enable people to better understand the work done to reveal this 4th century Gallo-Roman villa.

"I use methods and forms taken from archeology's world", porte renaud explains. His face appears in multiple fragments, funding the sculptures being created. "The need of others to make sculpture is nourished by my various experiences in popular education. Making with others to encourage them to be stakeholders, and not just spectators."
