From A to B is a project that will be part of an exhibition that will take place for the first time at the gallery Alliance française in Quito, Ecuador. The project will be presented in a later exhibition in France at the Alliance Française of Montpellier.

The exhibition is thought like a bridge from France to Ecuador by water or air... Like tracing a line from a point to another. The meetings will enable us to nourish an already started reflection. The travel is an

Ideas will conceptualized in France and then realized in equator.

HOW ?

For make this project came true, we need different materials, to build installations, like tools, multimedia, and graphisme materials.

We set up partnerships:

With the asssociation De La Floresta, which is the link between the neighborhood, the artists who lives there and us.

Novapan, is a wood entreprise which will give us raw materials in exchange of a art work at the end of the exhibition.

RETURNS EXHIBITION PROJECT IN FRANCE

In the futur, we will organized a exhibition in France that will help us to have an other approach of what we lived and created in Equador.

This new approach will takes consideration the idea that we can't bring any of our art works.

That involves the fact that we will translate our works in a other way : transforming sculptures in video or photos for exemple.

The principal goal of this exhibition is the question of context.

We will film all the different parts of creation in the residence. That will be the occasion to share and transmit our experience of work and creation in another country, and the link that we developed with art community and residents of Quito
