Programme
Young JAD designers in dialogue with the Albers-Honegge collection
As part of this re-reading of its permanent collection, the eac. is also putting design in the spotlight by inviting resident designers from the Jardin des métiers d'art et du design (JAD) in Sèvres to delve into the Albers-Honegger collection and select works with which they feel a 'resonance'.
Lamarche & Ovize, 364 saisons
Drawing is at the heart of the work of the duo Lamarche & Ovize, active since 2006. Their sketchbooks gather references to comics, classical painting, and botanical patterns reminiscent of the decorative arts. Through a process of assemblage and the manipulation of scale, orderly motifs transform into wild and lush forms. The line then unfolds in volume in the form of installations that blend drawing with sculpture, photography, graphic design, and objects.
This time, Florentine and Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize have chosen to immerse themselves in the world of the Michelin-starred Mirazur restaurant in Menton. Established in 2006 by three-starred chef Mauro Colagreco, this venue offers a novel gastronomic experience where nature and the environment are at the heart of the concept. This collaboration with the Mediterranean estate enabled the artists to create works resonating with this natural world. The duo seeks to reveal the passage of the seasons within the gardens of Mirazur and their translation onto the plate. The exhibition reflects their research and experimentation by presenting excerpts from the artists' sketchbooks, as well as those of the chefs.
