THE WORKS
Since its creation, the
festival has made it possible, in collaboration with the City of Annecy, to
perpetuate several artistic and landscape works in the public space, thus
gradually transforming Annecy into an open-air museum. This permanent
collection invites you to see (or revisit) works of art all the year round that
will take you to the most beautiful sites in Annecy.
You will be able to
visit the main sites such as the historical centre, the gardens of Europe, or the Charles Bosson park and you
will also be able to glimpse more unknown places.
For the more curious
and impatient, here are some addresses of the major works :
-Placette de la rue Carnot (53 rue
Carnot) = Place aux vers ! | Cultures Urbaines
-Le Pâquier = (1 Promenade Jacquet)
Échappée | Sylvie de Meurville
-Parc Charles-Bosson (Promenade
Docteur Paul Louis Servettaz) = Un potager dans la ville | Cultures
Urbaines
There are sixteen new
installations in the Annecy Paysages landscape this year :
They include
monumental sculptural works, like Jean Denant’s installation along the
promenade d’Albigny, smaller but no less meaningful installations, like Ugo
Schiavi’s creation in the old embarcadero at the Impérial Palace, landscaped
works like Natures en nuances by the architects and designers of Collective R
in the square de l’Évêché; and installations that show how we might use public
space differently, as Atelier Déambulons, have done by creating a shady place
to rest in the stony place François de Menthon.
