Dans le jardin des beaux arts

Cover of the catalogue.

Ten images were printed onto transluscent sheet and inserted into the windows around the entrance of the front door.

Forty-four artists were invited to provide new or existing work. In contrast to an
art exhibition, where art is on display
and easy to view, the art in this courtyard is partly embedded in the environment
of the courtyard buildings and gardens.

Click on the windows or the snail on the left or on areas on the image below for a closer view.

Works reproduced on transluscent sheet in the windows on each side of the door are by:
Left: Dave Taylor, Coskun Dogruluk, Beth Yazhari.

Right: Beth Yazhari, Andrea Gardner , Brit Bunkely,
Josh Homnick, Johannes Birringer.

Image right: Above the entrance to the courtyard:
Left: Collage by Polly Gould
Right: "Tulips from Istanbul" by Sonja van Kerkhoff.
Box-form high on left wall: Jacqueline Wassen.
Centre: (in rose window): cloth sculpture
by Jessy Rahman.
Lower window: The Gifts of Time Mail Art Project.
Lamp: Collages by Joke Elzinga (The Netherlands).

Small reproductions of paintings are framed or partly covered by foliage. The 29 homemade paper teepees by American artist Lee Anne Wilson are hidden around the garden and in the trees.

So the visitor has to walk, crouch or move the leaves to view work, which is linked directly to the environment in the courtyard.

Alexis Hunter's (U.K.) painting made for this show has been cut into five strips and hangs a little like a wind chime from the branches of a tree.
