ÉGLISE DE FRÈRES PRÊCHEURS / INSIDE THE BELLY OF A WHALE / ARLES

May, 2019



 






 

For one month, the city of Arles provided the Église de Frères Prêcheurs, an immense 14th century Dominican church, for me do an exhibition. Curated by Mélanie Bellue and co-produced by LHOSTE it became much more than an exhibition. It became a testing ground in collaboration and improvisation with numerous artists, musicians, yogis, dancers, writers, trapezists, cyclists and the public alike. Sonic Braille and a corridor of loud speakers resounded thoughout the voluminous space that was punctuated by sculpture, large format works, installations and performances.

MIREILLE MATHIEU - Collage à partir de pochettes vinyles originales

 






En parallèle à Sonic Braille, Reeve Schumacher travaille sur les pochettes de disques de Mireille Mathieu.
Séduit par son parcours et sa beauté, il accumule ses disques avec la frénésie du fan ou du collectionneur.
Méticuleusement découpées, les pochettes de ses disques sont imbriquées dans des collages d’une grande précision.

WASTE LAND





Inspired by the poetry of TS Eliot and a series of post apocalyptic dreams,
WASTE LAND takes form as both an album of original music and an exhibition.
