Who is Entrepart?
Art that overflows its
boundaries
Christian & Sylvie are impassioned by art that overflows its boundaries, that
confronts the real, namely an art that aims for social, economic and social
transformation, in the most demanding contemporary forms.
Christian & Sylvie Mayeur’s passion for extreme experiences of art led them to
explore the roads of Land Art in the heart of the American desert since 1997. They
aimed to experience this art made in the land that opens all senses to the invisible
dimensions of the environment, between nature and culture.
The experience of art is a laboratory for questioning and understanding
intelligence, energy and the sensitivity to art in the human experiences of clients,
users, citizens, directors, decision-makers, innovators, entrepreneurs and all
inhabitants of the Earth.
Entrepreneurs and artists
The entrepreneur and the artist are in this way two sides of the same engagement:
that which consists of never being satisfied with things as they are, but seeks to
clear, improve, invent, rearrange the known into new assemblies to innovate, to live
life as a work of art.
Some theoretical references to illuminate our relationship to art :
• Qu’est-ce que l’art ?, Joseph Beuys, avec Volker Harlan, L’Arche, 1992
• L’amitié, Maurice Blanchot, Gallimard, 1971
• Esthétique relationnelle, Nicolas Bourriaud , Les Presses du réel, 1998
• L’art comme expérience, John Dewey , Folio, 2010
• L’heure du crime et le temps de l’œuvre d’art,
Peter Sloterdijk, Calmann-Lévy, 1999
