Exhibition "L'Instant Présent" de Delphine Costier

The artist Delphine Costier's questions concern the relationship between Human and the Environment. The project was born from the following reflection: according to current scientific studies, if the Earth continues to warm up by a few degrees over the next few years, the life expectancy of glaciers would then be less than 90 years. If this figure seems insignificant for a glacier, it nevertheless refers to another life expectancy, that of human beings. A whole life.
The project is divided into series of drawings which follow a protocol: each year the artist chooses a glacier, she defines a color and she takes her pulse on the date the project begins, in order to define the number of drawings to be made. These three elements defined, she creates a series of monochrome drawings, per year, inspired by the satellite view of a glacier.
"This project emphasizes the richness of each minute of life, because even if everything is brought to transform, or even disappear, every minute remains precious."
This project is intended to travel and be installed in various exhibition venues. The principle will be the same as during the first exhibition at CdAC. That is, create an installation with the 65 drawings and/or indigo leaves until all the drawings have been sold, so that only a wall of indigo leaves remains instead.
How many exhibitions will be necessary for the project to be completely successful? Delphine doesn't know it to this day.
For a special moment with the artist, meet Delphine Costier, permanently at the exhibition, on Saturday August 10 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the WRP Foundation (Rue Argand 3).
