Global Nomadic Art Project
Global Nomadic Art Project (GNAP) France IV, "Transitional Zones, or Edges" 11-23 June 2023 (Saint-Lactencin)
The locations of the workshops are linked to three elements: wood, water, and fields, forming transitional zones, or EDGES. Just as the exercise of artistic and other activities in times of a pandemic has confronted us with the relationship and the limits between reality and virtuality, between face-to-face and online, between the individual and the community, we will similarly engage with the limits of geographical zones, and, above all, with the zones of transition, vagueness, or uncertainty that mark the fringes of a territory. These edges, transition zones of our environment, are zones of resilience, permeability, and acceptance of a non-Manichean world, where everything is not either black or white but complex, rich, and varied.

I also thank Yatoo Gnab for inviting me to participate in the project. I deeply appreciate Olivier's and Margrit's generous support and hospitality, and the warm and welcoming hospitality the townspeople extended toward the artists.
