artconnexion

"To resort to a metaphor, artconnexion prefers to take the side roads rather than the “highways” of art: not simply being involved in representation, but being engaged in a project immersively and exploiting this 'doctrine' as a professional asset." More about Residencies

"artconnexion forges links between art, society and audiences. What is fundamental is that the representatives of civil society are the main players in the dialogue with the artists. There is an understanding that everyone can benefit from an artist's viewpoint on any issue. A collective dialogue is created, with the opportunity for these commissioners to become active citizens, making their mark on the city." More about Citizen Commissions

" ‘Only Connect’ could be our motto. We are fundamentally interested in creating connections - on a human level, and within society. We are motivated by what encounters with artists and their works can produce." More about Exhibition & Events

In 2019, the Maison de l'enfance et de la famille Métropole Roubaix-Tourcoing (Children and family centre) and the “Garden in the Stars” collective commissioned an artists to promote knowledge transfer and their innovative agricultural techniques in an urban environment.
This commission first resulted in Philémon Vanorlé's work Cataplasme, a mobile horticultural tool dedicated to the growing of Calendula officinalis. After an experimental implementation phase, the Cataplasme project developed in the form of a film by Philémon Vanorlé and Justine Pluvinage.
