STEPHANE BILLOT

I am very interested in the project because a big part of my work deals with housing, periphery and social interactions. But beyond my own artistic work I want to meet different peoples, discover a new context and territory, find a collective energy and way of working. And the most important : share experiences and good time!" 

Stéphane Billot (FR)

Stéphane Billot is a french artist, born in 1986. He works and lives in Grenoble and in other places.
He "hijacks" norms, signs or values in order to interrogate the border between poetical and political, art and daily life, creations and social interactions. It could be summarized as an interstitial practice, or it could not be summarized, it depends on the weather.

Discipline: Installation / Contextual Art

NOMADIC ISLAND PROJECT

To me, the Nomadic Island project means being human and changing the real into something beautiful and surprising. Or maybe simply build a temporary pirate utopia and find the gold of time in an ancient mine... Yeah!

PIRATE UTOPIA

Stéphane will focus his work with the participants on the construction of a modular structure, which will be used as a space for workshops, meetings and other activities. Furthermore, he will foster the imagination of the local participants to build micro-installations to host different kind of performances in relation to the social and the environmental context. Key words of his concept are: ephemeral installation, alternative housing, pirate utopias, political and social experiment.

Stay tuned to learn more about Stéphane’s project.
