Atelier d’écriture

"By means of balancing effects and games of appearance and disappearance, our work alternates and combines. As far as I'm concerned, whether using horizon lines or grouped or (seemingly) isolated words, my pieces punctuate a kind of itinerary from one place to another in this flat". Isabelle Lartault

Isabelle Lartault's artistic work is most often based on poetic writing. As they evolve over time, most of her texts or fragments of texts are updated, combined or developed using the same themes, the same structures or the same types of statements. This work can give rise to different modes of expression: publications, exhibitions and performances.
In Isabelle Lartault's own words, "whenever possible, we take into account the specificity of the chosen mode of expression, the space involved (from the page to the street, including the place of intervention) and the environment in general? Using words and/or simple visual signs, I try to show and tell what is not said, to reveal appearances, to show the double standards of a world where everyone wants to be different, to remind people of the obvious repetition of the natural and cultural cycles in which we evolve".

Since 1983, Michel Verjux has been using projected light (directed, framed and focused) as his artistic expression. The cut-out projectors that the artist uses most of the time draw and sculpt forms of 'white' light (artificial light known as 'daylight') that cover and reveal the surfaces and volumes of the spaces he encounters, whether they are indoors or outdoors. By favouring this mode of exposure, Michel Verjux interacts with the environment presented to him. Such acts and signs of exhibition show themselves in themselves while integrating and showing the place as part of the work. With his pared-down visual language, the artist reduces the work to one of its most minimal forms. And, as he himself says: "I communicate this primary feeling: that of being physically and intellectually connected to our environment.
