Art transform(s)-transform Art

L’art Transforme L’art

Earlier this year, a beautiful invitation came in from fellow metal artist @mehdi yarmohammadi. Mehdi invited me to be part of a happening he organized at the @Shakirail in Paris.

The happening “Performance day” took place on April 6, 2024. More than 20 artists from diverse domains made this event magical! So happy to have been part of those who enchanted an enthusiastic audience!

Spreading the magic and healing energies of art - what else is more rewarding!

For the show, I presented my ongoing “Transforma(c)tor” project, with new hats - masks. A fun combination I’m currently developing: worn on one side, it’s a mask; worn turned the other side, it’s a hat… With this project, it feels like I’m pushing my life long project “hats = sculptures”, further.

Become part of the art - be the artwork

The aim of my intervention was to let the audience perform. I invited the visitors to be part of the art - to become the artwork.

The spectator as the actor => spectator

It was wonderful to observe the different approaches of the spectators. Some were straight ahead and excited to participate; others were shy and had to be gently pushed by me, there friends, or family. When transformed by a headpiece, some just posed like statues, but most were immediately transformed and had fun playing with the artwork. Some started to perform and play with the other spectators.

More to come

The “L’art Transforme L’art” is an ongoing project that started last year - in 2023 - with the “Transforma(c)teur” at the show “Art Inédit".

With this art project I continue “my mission” to bring art into daily life. I want to spread the magic of making, seeing and touching art because art is healing, and this world needs to heal urgently!
