ACTIONS WITH ART ALONG THE RIVER MEUSE, FROM COMMERCY TO ROTTERDAM - JULY AND AUGUST 2006



Dreams need water

The project takes the form of an encounter between a plastic artist -Dany Kowalski-, a sculptor -Patrick Hervelin- and water -the River Meuse. Water, a social element, unites peoples or separates them, but has been carrying our imagination since the beginning of time. Kowalski and Hervelin are going to be embarking on a Floating Workshop, a "Radeau Atelier" inspired by Rimbaud's poem the "Bateau Ivre" (or "Drunken Boat"), in Commercy in July 2006. They will be travelling for sixty days and covering six hundred kilometres, to reach Rotterdam.
