The annual event Hors les murs<\/em> programmed by the FIAC<\/a> (Foire internationale d\u2019art contemporain de Paris \u2013 Paris International contemporary art fair) occupies several Parisian sites and offers an itinerary of outdoor works.<\/p>\n After Ugo Rondinone\u2019s white olive trees in 2016, the guest of honor this year on Place Vend\u00f4me is American artist Oscar Tuazon. Une colonne d\u2019eau<\/em> (2017) is composed of four monumental sections of PVC pipes (the largest one is 7 feet wide and 28 feet long) installed several yards apart. The Jardin des Tuileries, a must-see in Hors les murs<\/em>, offers an itinerary that includes twenty-five outdoor works. Installations, sculptures, and performances stretch between the garden\u2019s basins and lawns. Students of the Ecole du Louvre provide mediation services during the one-week-long event.<\/p>\n German artist Katinka Bock occupies the garden inside the Mus\u00e9e Delacroix. Inspired by the painter\u2019s way of organizing space and make it conducive to creation, Katinka Bock created a corpus of six works that not only interact with the exhibition space but also with its history, through images, symbols and customs.<\/p>\n To conclude on outdoor works, after being rejected by the Louvre because \u201clegends on the internet go around and attribute this artwork to a vision that is too violent and that might not be well received by our traditional audience of the Jardin des Tuileries\u201d1<\/sup> explains President of the Louvre Jean-Luc Martinez, Joep Van Liesdout\u2019s Domestikator<\/em> ended up in front of the Centre Pompidou.\u00a0\u201cObscene, pornographic? Well, unfortunately obscenity and pornography are everywhere. But certainly not in this work of art\u201d, claims director of the Centre Pompidou Bernard Blist\u00e8ne in front of the British press. 2<\/sup> In a short article published in the French magazine Le Point<\/em>, the artist says he is \u201chappy that visitors of the Centre Pompidou get a chance to experience this work and hopes that it will generate a dialogue on the complexity of domestication in our society.\u201d 3<\/sup><\/p>\n 1 <\/sup>Source Le Monde<\/em><\/a> The annual event Hors les murs programmed by the FIAC (Foire internationale d\u2019art contemporain de Paris \u2013 Paris …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[243,240,241],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4908"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4908"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4912,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4908\/revisions\/4912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nTucked inside these hollow pipes are trunks of trees from the Bois de Vincennes. With this installation, Oscar Tuazon exposes the city\u2019s water infrastructure and lets the viewer imagine the underground network of pipes that allows the circulation of water throughout the metropolis. This irrigation system, which is reminiscent of the venous and artery system of the human body, brings life to the city of Paris, as it would to a live organism. But as with Italo Calvino\u2019s Invisible Cities<\/em>, no city is recognizable and yet each one of them recognizes itself in the others. This is a sculpture that illustrates the artist\u2019s interest for environmental issues and in particular for water consumption.<\/p>\n
