Horizons - Art Nature Encounters

Horizons - Art Nature encounters - Massif du Sancy - from 1st July to 15 September 2008

This summer, for its second edition and for the the joy of all, art and hiking lovers in search of discovery, the Horizons - "Art Nature" Encounters unique contemporary art event blends the beauty of landscapes with artistic creation all in ecological approach. Ten artists of different nationalities have thus been selected to create ten monumental works at ten natural sites of my area.

This year, young talent is being highlighted, with the notable presence of two women who excel in the realm of creativity, Laetitia Carlotti and Cornelia Conrads. Female are everywhere ;-)  

Each work designed to the scale of the landscape, is a true invitation to opening up to the world of nature that surrounds us. Volcano summits, crater lakes, winding rivers, fields and forests etc. at 10 emblematic sites of the Massif du Sancy, some hardly known, will stage such ephemeral creations. The many natural or original materials used to offer the cleverest creations and see them blossom, ever so unique and aesthetic, on all sites.

As part as an ecological approach, the works made for Horizons use environment-friendly materials so as to preserve the sites, most of which benefit from environmental protection measures. Work upstream has thus been conducted for the installation of the works in the Regional Natural Park of the Auvergne Volcanoes.

I will then lead you to the discovery of all these sites and creations… with photos of course !!
