Trained at the "Ecole des Beaux Arts" in La Haye & then Montpellier he has progressively channelled his work towards the monumental, using a process that we can describe in a simple way as anamorphosis. As part of the 5th edition of IN SITU, Heritage & Contemporary art, a large white sculpture executed in wood & resin, is installed in the place of honour in the Archbishop’s Palace. Anamorphosis plays with our visual perceptions & we become actively involved in the perspectives created by Tjeerd Alkema. The artist incites us to develop our own ideas about his work & to constantly question the different angles & views. Archbishop’s Palace, Cour d’Honneur. Free entry. CLAP’D’ÉTÉ . PROGRAM 2016 / 5 > From June 11 th to August 27 th , 2pm-6pm VLADIMIR SKODA "ACCÉLÉRATION D’ESPACE" Born in Prague in 1942, Vladimir Skoda has lived & worked in Paris since 1968. His works of art are inspired by his interest in science & particularly in astronomy. Since the 90s Skoda’s work is oriented around the sphere in which he explores all variations & possibilities, (from a soap bubble to examples of monumental sculpture through to a floor made of marbles). He is equally interested by steel as a material, which he leaves in a raw state, uses as a support for non-Euclidean geometric forms or polishes to create mirrors. The sphere, a quasi-perfect form is open to many interpretations. This depending on whether we are attached to its formal perfection or to the images of the world it reflects. References to astrology are multiple in Skoda’s work from Foucault’s pendulum, to Galileo, though distanced from them by the artist’s approach. He draws on the aesthetic & intuitive as opposed to the purely academic. His exhibition at "L’aspirateur" (the vacuum cleaner) Art gallery reunites Skoda‘s works from different eras (1986 to 2016) & includes pieces in raw steel or polished to a mirror finish. Certain of the installations have been specially created for the gallery event. 6 / CLAP’D’ÉTÉ . PROGRAM 2016 Narbonne, L’aspirateur Contempory Art Gallery, avenue Hubert Mouly from Tuesday to Saturday. Closed on Holidays.

These works are the expressions of their cultural & social world & emphasise the intimate spiritual relationships the Aboriginal people have with their earth, their source of identity. They also express the social rules they are subjected to, to ensure the balance between the spiritual (the time of Genesis) & the modern, material world. In their thoughts, only this balance & harmony can ensure their survival. > From June 29th to July 31 st , Every day from 2pm-7pm "L’ATELIER DES PAYSAGES", PIERRE VACHER This singular artist has been painting for 40 years having studied at the "École Supérieure des Arts Modernes" in Paris. Inspired by his numerous travels, his paintings show off the most vibrant palette of colours. His forms are often linked to the sky as if to invite us to contemplate an imaginary world.
