Jean-Pierre Goux & Fabien Léaustic

The Foundation gives a voice to visual artists, writers, philosophers and filmmakers in an online conversation format and in pairs.
These exchanges aim at questioning the current world, raising awareness, creating new narratives in the light of the health and ecological crisis.

• Which commitment and responsibility do the artist and the philosopher have regarding this crisis?
• How are artistic and writing practices impacted?
• What new way to produce and display art while public engagement becomes increasingly immaterial?
• Which vision and creativeness to be impulsed for reinventing tomorrow’s world?

Themes: Eco-design in artistic practice / The living as a creative material / The Overview effect / The consequences of Greenwashing / The life cycle of the material / What does a bio-sourced element mean? / Aesthetic shock or how beauty can be put at the service of an ecology of the sensitive? / Stake of entrepreneurship in ecology with a long-term vision / Breakthrough innovation (taking the future as a point of support to free the present)
