Like every year, the association of Sculptors of the Arcachon basin, which has been organizing the artistic event Alias, sculpture on the port for more than fifteen years, met to choose the theme for the next edition. From the start, the association wanted to involve as many people as possible in this event, particularly schools and neighborhood centers.
The first to join this project were those of Règue verte and Miquelots. Tuesday, December 10, these five houses were invited by Jean-Pierre Colin, the new president of the association. In addition to the heads of the neighborhood centers, several workshop leaders were present to discover the prepared file.
Alain Villechenoux, the head of the Règue verte house, explains “that it is a cross-functional work of neighborhood houses with the objective of coming together around a common project”. He adds that in this way, “members will be able to know each other, share, meet”.
Imaginary beings
For 2025, the theme will therefore be “Funny Creatures”. Jean-Pierre Colin indicates “that it is a question of creating an imaginary being, human or animal, composed of disparate parts and forming a whole which is funny, bizarre or comical”. For him, “having a theme brings out ideas, sparks creativity and allows us to create productions that would not have seen the light of day without this constraint”.
In addition to the imposed subject, the office defined a support: after the sphere and the rectangle, here is the cube. The workshops will work from January until the exhibition which will take place the last weekend of September.
In addition to the members of the neighborhood centers, all the schools in the municipality participate in the Alias project and for some time, the schools of Gujan-Mestras, Teich and Biganos have joined. As for the professional sculptors present at Alias, they must also propose at least one work linked to the theme of the year.
