COP21 Off pop-up with HubCulture and Inspirelle Paris Nov24 - Dec20, 2015

Thank you HubCulture and Inspirelle for inviting me to present the below artworks along their seminars program in Paris during the COP21 summit.

French artist Lionel Sabatté works on the memory of the world, using residual materials, discarded, ignored or even repulsive, treating them as precious archives, emissaries of the past. He patiently collects the raw material, subway dust, amassed from the perpetual human flux, damaged butterflies are meticulously repaired with human nail fragments, abolishing the borders between plant, mineral and organic. Recalling ancient wall-art bestiary, his creatures tell the narrative dimension of matter: they tell the journey of matter in our world.

Danish photographer Winnie Denker is a reknown and intrepid risk-taker, who's immortalized the World Heritage sites for the UNESCO, and traveled the remote regions of Turkey, the Euphrates Valley, Alep, Damascus, Palmyra, Egypt, China, the Hermitage Museum in Saint-Petersburg where her photographs are displayed... Her recent discovery of Iceland has urged her to capture the ephemerality of landscapes under threat from climate change.

French artist Seib Pascot presents de medusis, a project about climate change and over-consumption: a poetic critique of the anthropogenic impact on nature. As nature mutates into landscape, it becomes an industrial-scape, a trash-scape.

Crafting his jellyfish from piano hammers, the artist uses a former bourgeois identifier outside of the cozy interiors it is usually confined to. Medusae represent the visible transformation of the environment, and its impact on society, from summer beach alerts to fishing disasters in Japan. Ocean warming and acidification allow jellyfish to develop, and over-fishing has killed their predators.

Seib Pascot is working on a de medusis ballet featuring a hundred sculptures, where humanity is disappearing.
