Outdoor exhibition Marc Didou "Views, by chance"
At the invitation of the City and as part of the first edition of the open-air exhibitions of contemporary art, the Finisterian sculptor Marc Didou proposes a dozen works, some of which have been specially created for Landerneau.
The exhibition is organized in the space of the city center through two sets of works. Large sculptures, Carré d'Ouverture, Gens de mer, and three of the Plasma series, made in the 1990s, trace a route from the Town Hall Square and wrap around the Elorn, echoing the city’s maritime history.
The Spectrales ensemble, designed in 2022, takes the form of portraits hung high on the facades of buildings, which the artist sees as signs that “are not meant to be seen but to deceive the eye in his attention.” One of these works, fixed on one of the buildings of the Rohan Bridge, has just been acquired by the city. It depicts the face of Alexandre Duval, an 18th-century playwright known for writing the play «Les Héritiers» in which we find this proverbial replica «Ça va faire du bruit dans Landerneau»!
This unique exhibition is an opportunity for visitors to discover and explore the universe of a singular artist. And if you want to know more about Marc Didou’s artistic approach, the exhibition catalogue is available for sale at the Galerie de Rohan and the Tourist Office, at a price of €15.
