2 winners for the 2018 artist-in-residence programme at La Colombière

Ladislas Combeuil's residency runs from 23 June until 3 August. A graduate from Angers School of Fine Arts, his work alternates between sculpture and painting and combines a range of functional, decorative and mathematical approaches.  

Déborah Aubert was born in 1990. A graduate from Versailles National School of Landscape Architecture, her creations make use of cartographic arrangements, perceptible drawings of objects or enhanced mock-ups to examine the shifting nature of landscapes. In residence at La Colombière from 4 August until 14 September, her project will endeavour to show the sedimentation of human-land-Loire interactions to throw their wealth into sharp relief.  

Their work will be displayed during the European Heritage Days, on 15 and 16 September, at La Colombière.  

La Colombière's artist-in-residence programme has been made possible by a partnership between the Institut de France, Mission Val de Loire and municipality of Gennes-Val-de-Loire (Maine-et-Loire). Its aim is to provide a creative residency on the cultural landscape of the Loire Valley and its portrayals.
