The works and installations on view, nearly half of them created especially for the event, were produced by more than twenty modern and contemporary artists, emerging or established, whose practice, ideas and viewpoints, each in their own way, capture and celebrate the spirit of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Space and nature, as sources of inspiration but also of a reexamination of our relationships with ourselves, others and the environment, underpin the works of the visual artist Isa Melsheimer, the designer Marcin Rusak, the ceramist Safia Hijos, the designer Charlotte Chesnais and the artist-designer duo Studio GGSV, as well as the outdoor installation created by Samuel Nguyen with students<br>from the Villa Arson in the course of an on-site workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The cosmogony of Maison Bernard is revealed through the mobile sculpture by Pol Bury, the mirrored installation of works by Katinka Bock and Toni Grand, the marble and crystal sculptures of David Logan, Susanna Fritscher and Antoine Poncet, the creations of Sabrina Le Bachelier and Marion Mailaender, the works nestled in the garden by Venia Dimitrakopoulou and Rachel Robinson, as well as the audio and visual installations of Emma Dusong, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Echenoz and Yves Gellie.
