The geometry, lines, colors and porticos of Daniel Burren take up their summer quarters on the island of Arz.
This exhibition entitled "Detour of roads and paths" offers a bucolic stroll enhanced with Art to embrace and enhance the calm and exceptional environment of this little Breton paradise.
It was a chance encounter in a small restaurant on the island that initiated this wonderful project; the curator of the Artist's exhibition, who spends his summer vacation on the Breton island every year, was having lunch in a small, fully booked restaurant. He was asked if he could share his table with a gentleman who was also alone. He was the mayor of the Isle of Arz.
Their shared passion for the island and Art will do the rest.
Daniel Burren called upon two island artisans to create the works and was inspired by the sails that can be seen on the horizon over the gulf from the island's shores.
An art walk in total communion with nature, to be discovered until October 30 on the island of Arz.

Birthdays, the impatience to celebrate them, the delicious anticipation of imagining the joys and pleasures of celebrating them, undoing and redoing the guest list, are high moments of childhood celebration. Time fades them and repetition extinguishes their intensity, making them familiar, patinated with the predictability of repeating.
It is this original effervescence that Coline Gaulot, visual artist, has brought back to life by freezing it in the celebratory piece, the culmination of these memories, the birthday cake.
The artist presents 26 white porcelain birthday cakes topped with birthday candles at the Museum of Earthenware and Tableware in Samadet.
Named "the great fire", for the mini vanity pyres captured forever in porcelain, devoid of color like an emotional transfer where each person can imprint the echo of their memory which now belongs to us.
A delicate and joyful return to childhood through that of the artist.
