1- Art Bio Artistic Meeting: perspectives
2- Become a member of the Association Art Bio
3- Summer Night at the Bookshop "Haut Quartier"
--------------------------------
what news...? It is still so hot in Pézenas, but the good news
is that Worms don't seem to suffer too much. They like the humidity and
obscurity of their Wormfarm!
It is now decompression phase, few weeks already after the artistic meeting
in Celles. Calmness is reigning, the come-down, after all the excitment,
is quite relaxing.
It's holiday and let's say there's not much more to say. Few projects
are to come, still about Worms!
--------------------------------
1- Artistic Meeting Art Bio: Perspectives
Let's start with the beginning: I would like to thank warmly and sincerely all the people involved in the organisation of this first Art Bio Meeting and allowed it to take place: Ms Goudal, Mayor of Celles and her Township Council; All the artists who have accepted my invitation and made of this meeting, through their live performances, its essence self; the public, who courageously had to put up with the extreme and tiring heat of that weekend. Thank you all!
Artists have gone out of their atelier and endangered themselves in front
of the public in order to support the Art Bio ecological initiative. It
was a very interesting and rich experience for all.
Just a drop of disappointment, however, witnessing the lack of interests
from the media (radio, tv and press). But this has not discouraged the
artists, who still enjoyed themselves and realized a real artistic challenge.
There was synergy, ecological as much as artistic.
It all boils down to say that apart from few oranisational defaults and
the extreme heat, the Art Bio Meeting has been a real success. Rendez-vous
is already taken with Ms Goudal, Mayor of Celles, for the next Art Bio
Meeing, next year! Good news, ini!?
In this perspective, I invite all of you's good souls, if you're interested in joining the winning team, composed of Alain Chaud and Agi Allart, to prepare the next Art Bio Meeting. "It's never too early!"…One of the lessons learned!
2- Become a Member of the Association Art Bio

3- Summer Night at the bookshop" Haut Quartier"
Friday 25th July, the bookshop Haut Quartier, Conti street
(Pézenas), organised a "meeting, vernissage, exhibition",
around the book of Bona Mangangu: "Ce que disent mes mains sur la
toile" (What my hands tell on the canvas);
Bona Mangangu, painter and writer, expressed himself
through his book and with his friends:
-Alain Chaud, sculptor, showed few pieces of his work,
-Kébir, "recycling" painter, presented
his latest paintings and sculptures,
-Agnès Allart, Art Bio presented its revolutionary
Wormfarms,
-David Huguenin, photographer, made us discover the second
part of his "herb book".
The Domaine of Creyssels brought us a exquise touch of wine tasting.

have been the first to support me and my project and turn my Wormfarms
into real work of art.
