LANDKUNST ((( ARCHITECTURES OF THE POSSIBLE
This architecture is inspired by the strawballs and the sawmills which are part of the thoré's valley's landscape.
It's built in an "in between" space, on a slope where not so many people go to, between a road, a path and a military field.
It proposes another way to experience the site and the landscape : inviting people to stop here, a place where they usually don't go or just go throw.
It has been built on a place where the box makes a nutural arch, a shape which can remind us the one of the cave, situated at the beginning of the limestone plateau.
It's a space to experience : feel free to take time to inhabit it !
Do we need to build walls around us to be able to feel free, and ourselves ?
Can we make spaces, micro architectures, open spaces, without any functions, except the one to propose a space full of possibility ? A space where we can link ourselves to the deeper inner inside of ourselves, and, as the same time, really be part of the world, without any separation ; at the present time ?
It's around these questions that Charlotte Louen and Julie Chaumette made an "architecture of the possible" in Best (a small dutch town), during an art residency in a LANDKUNST festival. Landkunst, art and land.
Inspiring themselves from the residency place (a farm), people linving in there, and its history, they had to make a work of art. The "architecture of the possible" project, or (((, was born.
They had the wish to link this project with the places where they were coming from : Remagen, in Germany and Caucalières, in France, in order to open this experience and offer what could be the beginning of a "map of opened architectures". To do so, they invited Friedreich Louen (forest sudent) and Pierrick Lacord (artist) to work with them on the Remagen's and Caucalières' projects.
