“Links are created between plants and connect us to a place. This exhibition weaves relations between interior and exterior, natural and artificial. Atsunobu Kohira uses materials that transmit a form of energy, the passage of time. Jacques Vieille creates connections between the structures of the forms of nature and the motifs and decorations in architecture. Rosana Schoijett gives a second life to picture books to help us discover imaginary lands.
The artists’ works will change our perception of space. New lines will be drawn for a journey through new forms of landscapes and pieces between the organic and the geometric to give back to our relationship with nature. “ Pauline Lisowski
artists:
Atsunobu Kohira: Born in Hiroshima in 1979. Lives and works in Sonchamp, France.
Graduated from the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris (2006, Giuseppe Penone workshop) and Le Fresnoy (2008-2010). In 2013, he exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo with the Hermès Corporate Foundation as part of the exhibition Condensation. In 2014, it is found in FRAC Franche Comté, at the MEP, as well as at Hermes in Japan and Korea. He made a sound work in the exhibition Guernica at the Picasso Museum in 2018.
“Atsunobu Kohira chooses to give way to the sensitive to reach the first truth of the body, his perceptions. It is often question of the gesture as an act: gesture of painter, gesture of musician, gesture of capture … The recording of the landscape, the time, the use of the sound, the highlighting of the thought of the matter are first and foremost acts of sculptor. “(Leila Simon)
Rosana Schoijett : Born in 1969 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Lives and works in Buenos Aires.
She trained as a photographer. She was a member of the Programa para las Artes Visuales Rojas-Kuitca 2003-2005. She regularly collaborates with magazines and regularly exhibits in museums, galleries and fairs, including MALBA Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Buenos Aires; MAMBA Museo de Arte Moderno of Buenos Aires; Castagnino-Macro Museum of Rosario; Fundación Proa; Prisma Kunsthalle; Fotogalería del Rojas; Centro Parakultural; Premio Braque-MuntrefCentro de Arte Contemporáneo; Premio ArteBA-Petrobras; Centro Fotográfico Manuel Alvarez Bravo, México; 19 CRAC Montbéliard Cultural Center, Francia; Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art, Moscú, URRS; Museo Cerralbo, Madrid, España; Solo Projects ARCOmadrid, among others.
In 2016, he received the first prize at the Concurso de Artes Visuales del Fondo Nacional de las Artes (Object category), Buenos Aires. She is also a teacher at the Artes Electrónicas Master of Universidad Tres de Febrero.
She studies the possibilities of the photographic image, its narrative and documentary sides. Through systematic series, his photos connect intimate scenes to the urban landscape, photo reporting to advertising images, self-portraits to portraits of celebrities, combining the chance of the click with the most scrupulous composition. For the last decade, she has been working on painstaking collages from high-quality printed photographs in art books on geography, art and botany. It cuts and sews fragments of these ancient illustrations, generating a three-dimensional effect. It depicts the continuous change of our environment, creating in a laboratory of paper impressions unexpected constructions, oases of fertility and abundance.
Jacques Vieille : Born in 1948 in Baden-Baden. Lives and works in Paris and Lot et Garonne.
He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, and already had a passion for architecture which he had long been interested in before worrying about gardens, now landscape. A resident at the Villa Medicis from 1981 to 1983, Prix de Rome in 1983, he found in Rome the ideal ground for his explorations and for the deepening of his first projects, already anchored in a specific relation to buildings.
From then on, he adopts a treatment of the architectural theme by multiplying displacements and systematically playing with the confrontation between nature and the artifact. He has gradually focused his thinking on the meeting point of decor and structure. After having introduced plants with strong connotations in his constructions, he then multiplied the interventions outside: Roundabout Montaudran in Toulouse (1990), Prince of Wales Tower in Thouars (1993), Gooise Knoop in Amsterdam (1995), Ministry of accommodation in Haarlem (1998), Station Argoulet, subway of Toulouse (2000), station Beaux-arts for the tramway of Montpellier (2005) …
Many exhibitions are also devoted to him in France and abroad: Contemporary galleries of the Center Georges Pompidou (1984), Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona (1985) Maison Descartes in Amsterdam (2000), Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux (2000) ), Kerguehennec Art Center (2001), Toyota Museum in Japan (2006). In 2007, he participated in the exhibition “Counterpoint” at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Or the most recent ones like Lust der tauschung, Kunsthalle Munich (2018); and “i miei camini”, at the Château de Monbazillac in 2019.
His works are present in the collections of FRAC Bourgogne, Rhône-Alpes, Corsica, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Brittany, Lorraine, Limousin, Franche Comté, Aquitaine. FNAC Strasbourg Museum, Tournus, Poitiers, George Pompidou Center, Geneva Decoration Fund, Municipal Contemporary Art Foundation Paris. Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts, Lausanne.

Pauline Lisowski (curator)
Art critic and independent curator. Member of CEA, Associate Exhibition Commissioner.
Member of AICA, International Association of Art Critics.
His art criticism and curatorial projects deal with the relationship artists have with exhibition space and landscape, whether urban or natural. She performs both solo and group exhibitions, in places full of history, especially in relation to nature or in galleries, and accompanies artists during their residency. The curatorial exhibition is an opportunity for her to develop her theoretical research around the landscape as an intervention site for artists and to create time for exchanges between several disciplines around creation.
Alongside her art critic blog, she collaborates with various media (Inferno, Contemporary Point, Boumbang, Transverse, toutelaculture, revue 02, lacritique.org, among others) and writes for artist’s catalogs.
