44 artists (painters, sculptors, ceramists, photographers) will be exhibiting in the intimate setting of the village gardens, a local heritage often cherished for generations.
Guest of honour Rodrigue GLOMBARD, a renowned artist from Lyon, will be exhibiting an ephemeral installation in Vers stone at the Pont du Gard during July. The stones are supported by a bundle of ropes, a tribute to the strength and fragility of today's world. He will also be exhibiting his paintings in the village during the Festival.

ASTEROIDS" EXHIBITION Rodrigue Glombard
from 29 June 2024 to 31 July 2024
"This installation is a look at our times. A time under tension in several respects. I deliberately chose stone from the Authentique quarry in Vers, the same stone that was once used to build the Pont du Gard aqueduct.
These suspended stones caught in this mesh of ropes symbolise the interconnection, interdependence and endangerment of our environment in the face of our actions, but also our fragility in the face of that same environment if it breaks loose. How long will it last?
And it's galvanising to create this installation in the very place where the artist Ousmane Sow was present in 2005. Rodrigue Glombard
"Asteroids" will be presented outdoors on the left bank.
