In the light of current times, the Foundation is broadening its field of exploration to include ecological issues through a series of online and live conversations “Creators facing the climate emergency”. Artists, scientists and searchers are invited to question today’s world and create new narratives to draw more desirable futures:
- Which commitment and responsibility do the artist and the philosopher have regarding this crisis?
- How are artistic and writing practices impacted? Which behaviour should individually and collectively be implemented?
- What new way to produce and display art while public engagement becomes increasingly immaterial?
- Which vision and creativeness to be impulsed for reinventing tomorrow’s world?
Themes: Generating new narratives towards desirable imaginaries / Upcycling - reuse of materials, in the fields of visual arts, design and architecture to face the depletion of resources / Bio-sourced materials (raw earth) / The notion of risk / Temporary occupation project / How do these crises allow for the creation of new opportunities in creation / Building a collective intelligence in the service of sustainable innovation / Calling on young generations to stimulate their curiosity about the world

Prune Nourry, Nicola Delon and Ramy Fischler has been collaborating for several years around the exploration and use of "clean" and innovative materials to produce art, in particular clay and recycled concrete. Invited during this conversation, they will share the fruits of their research, which contribute to redefining the status of the artwork and its integration within the environment which it is a part of.
