Contemporary follies in natura.
Année Le Nôtre à Saint-Germain-en-Laye
After Nature mutante®, an exhibition awarded the prize for Innovation by the Ministry of Culture and Communication, essayist and curator Patrick Amine has organised an ambitious project to recreate contemporary "new follies" in the National Domain of Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
Soliciting 27 renowned international artists (Hervé di Rosa, Bob Verschueren, Jan Fabre, Bae Lee, Loris Cecchini, etc.), the gardens become a stage for ephemeral (or perennial) works and in natura vegetable sculptures around the garden, its avenues and terraces. It is also a playful and imaginative area for walks, to be enjoyed by people all ages, adapted to the site and its history.
Thanks to his passion for gardens and history and his knowledge of contemporary art, Patrick Amine is the ideal organiser for this project which is to be part of the tribute to André Le Nôtre, in a dialogue between heritage and contemporary creation.
