SERGE NICOLE EDITORIAL, PRESIDENT OF REvELATIONS FAIR

The Banquet

"Under the radiant roof of the Grand Palais, woven to stun us by the most prodigious of spiders, Revelations, the show devoted to modern artistic fine craft and creation, is in full swing. Under the immense arachnidan vault, long tables are set and we are all invited to join the banquet.

Our very presence under this prestigious glass roof, where the French flag flies proud, is a sign of the prime position currently occupied by artistic craftsmanship in French society. It is a symptom of our community’s great vitality, and of our capacity to join forces. The show has been staged by Adrien Gardère, a scenographer infinitely

respectful of artists and craftsmen, "The large tables and the terraced tribunes combine to form the image of a banquet, where all objects are centrepieces and where everyone can take place, in total keeping with the politest of table manners."

Within this setting, objects fully occupy their rightful place, forging the link between the designer and the visitor. They offer us their original nudity, the prodigy of their creation, the reality of their constituent matter. Each and every spectator offer equal visibility, clouded neither by hierarchy, nor by walls, nor by cluttered horizons. It is a world of openwork and transparency that unveils before our eyes, a simple world, a world with nothing behind, nothing to hide. These material artists know the secret of man’s place on Earth. Revelations is offering its visitors the right to observe it; it also offers them the privilege of appreciating the deep harmony that exists between man and the world, the strong allegiance between culture and nature. And it resides in a craftsman’s workshop.

In today’s ever-changing world, the potential of artistic craftworkers is immense: they are the expression, the very soul of our nation. They represent what the French do better than anyone else: forging the link between the past, that guardian of our roots - steeped in culture, and innovation, that exalting experience that thrusts us into what will be, securing our presence in the future. They are capable, through provocation, of electrifying our highly-respected values. A quest that, today, everyone strives for. Such is the experience offered by Revelations.

My warmest thanks go all those who have played a part in helping put this edition together – the members of the artistic committee, Norway, honoured guest, and all the exhibitors and partners who have all contributed, by our side, to making Revelations an international brilliance."

A FEW WORDS BY HENRI JOBBE-DUvAL, GENERAL COMMISSIONER

Revelations, the international biennial of fine craft and creation, will be among the autumn season’s wealth of major events. For its first edition, more than 260 exhibitors from across the globe will be unveiling their extraordinary skill and know-how. Artistic craftworkers, art manufacturers, houses of excellence, galleries, editors and associations... will be presenting a comprehensive overview of international creation within an exceptional setting.

Revelations, an economic and cultural event, will be offering visitors - be they art enthusiasts, collectors, professionals or young students - an opportunity to discover, along the show’s vast central display tables, the exceptional pieces that are currently enthusing the world of artistic craftsmanship. This presentation will be enhanced, not only by a series of conferences given by specialists, but also by exhibitions and films projected at the international film festival on clay and glass. Encounters and exchanges with major contributors towards the world of art and craft will be at the heart of this five-day event.Finally, Norway will be writing one of the early pages of Revelations’ history by being the first country of honour to be invited to the show, illustrating the commitment to dialogue between artistic cultures. Hence, Revelations will unveil an exceptional and resolutely innovative creative scene.

I would like to thank all of the show’s partners for their support and their trust in the future of Revelations. And before setting our next rendezvous, two years from now, I hope that our exhibitors will make many a fruitful encounter, and our visitors many an inspiring discovery.

1st HOLDING OF REVELAtIONs FAIR,INtERNAtIONAL BIENNIAL OF FINE CRAFt AND CREAtION

The trade fair agora © Scenography by Adrien Gardère for Revelations

Between the 11th and 15th of September, Ateliers d’Art de France is organizing* Revelations, the first and only biennial dedicated to contemporary crafts. Staged in the magnificent setting of the Grand Palais, Revelations will shine a light on the creativity and the excellence of our know-how on an international level.

For five days all visitors, professionals and private individuals alike, will discover the world of crafts thanks to unique pieces of art that have marked history, while also getting the chance to meet some unforgettable people.

These meetings will take place within the framework of a set of conferences involving professional speakers as well as previously unheard of exhibitions, screening of films about crafts, and even workshops for the little ones.

For this first holding, Adrien Gardère is in charge of the scenography.His goal is to provide Revelations with its very own architecture and to set all participants on an equal footing so that they all feel that they are part of the same story regardless of their notoriety, the scope of their company or the size of their stall. Adrien Gardère points to the glue that holds them all together: their mastery of a unique know-how.

Revelations has decided to give pride of place to Norway for its first holding.

* With Reed Expositions (as a partner for logistics and technical matters)

NORWAY : GUEST OF HONOUR

PAGE 5

For its inaugural edition, Revelations has chosen Norway, one of Ateliers d’Art de France’s historic and royal partners, as guest of honour.

Norwegian Crafts, the organisation in charge of promoting Norwegian artistic craftsmanship in international exhibitions, has selected 14 Norwegian artists, some of whom already benefit from international renown, others representing a young generation full of promise.

The selection of artwork includes glass, textile and ceramic, along with jewellery creations via which each artist offers a personal approach to both tradition and innovation.The exhibition has been developed in partnership with Marianne Zamecznik, an internationally renowned scenographer. She has chosen to highlight the prime position occupied by Norwegian Crafts under the Grand Palais’ spectacular dome, seeking inspiration from its glass and steel architecture to create a swathing and dynamic scenographic structure.

"Adrien Gardère, with a majestic simplicity, with complicity, has imagined and designed it!

Ateliers d’Art de France wanted it as a foundation initiative, who reveals creative powerfull which rules in a carftworkshop.

Artists of the matterial, craftwrokes, designers, visual artist, sculptors, they settled there, gathered by the royalty of the creation.

Antoine Leperlier, with his sovereign artistic vision committed to contemporary glass creation, introduces us to it."

Serge Nicole, President of Ateliers d’Art de France

Antoine Leperlier

Breaking the banks"[...] Indeed, an increasing number of visual artists and designers are asserting the importance of making in art, paying particular attention to how materials are used.By opening a shared space for all these artistic disciplines, by bringing all works associated with making and materials to the same table, without regard to specific or certified production methods, this 'banquet' aims at abolishing hierarchy between art forms and genres, and at challenging the legitimacy of dogmatic discriminations that vainly oppose making and not making, concept and material, and that seek to legislate as to what is 'contemporary' and what is not. [...]. This exhibition will create an opportunity to

gauge the degree of emancipation, in certain fields of art practice, from the technical domain to which they have for too long been relegated, and the extension of the scope of contemporary art practice. It will demonstrate that academic discrimination, more-or-less in keeping with historical methods and moments in history, no longer stand when the 'border' controls that separate artistic domains and artistic practice are relaxed. Furthermore, the layout of this table will only allow a single horizontal interpretation, with works devoid of wordy museography; the unmediated and admiring eye will not be subject to any prejudice arising from pre-established categories, and will judge for itself [...]."

PAGE 7 PAGE 8

Josepha Gasch-Muche

Among other things, the Clara Scremini Gallery offers a glimpse into the caustic world of Josepha Gasch-Muche, whose workshop is based in Germany. The artist uses very simple geometric objects, to which she systematically sticks fragments of glass that are actually countless pieces of mobile phone screens. This creates a surprisingly sophisticated result, reflecting a set of scattered visions of the world around us.

Eva Hild

An enormous sculpture by Swedish ceramist Eva Hild, offered by the NeC nilsson and chiglien gallery, reveals, like some sort of personal architecture, its intimate state, the order within chaos. The inside becomes the outside; you leave it only to return. Many trips back and forth are necessary to visit this rhythmic piece, its sensual skin, and its desirable curves with decidedly prominent edges

Antoine Leperlier

Antoine Leperlier would describe himself as a handyman rather than the heir to ancestral glass-blower know-how. The main goal of the technical processes that he creates is to bring out the temporal resonance contained within his chosen material. All these are reduced to minutes, to moments in time, to frozen instants. For him, glass is to time what marble and bronze are to space.

Alain Mailland

Playing off the singularity and the individual property of each flawed stone and root collected in the Midi, Alain Mailland develops unique hybrid forms. His Pavillon des Etoiles (house of stars), of formerly green, now white hackberry wood, reaches up with playful arms to tickle a sky that seems more desirable than its terrestrial counterpart.

Benoît Huot

Creations by Benoît Huot are all based on naturalized animals decorated with ribbons, lace and trinkets, giving them a look of wild fetishes, sacred animals, or characters from children’s books. "Once you’ve finished staring at them, Benoît Huot’s animals will go on haunting you day and night." Michel Azama, June 2012

Sebastian Brajkovic

The Carpenters Workshop Gallery presents a piece from the Lathe series by designer Sebastian Brajkovic. The artist rethinks and overhauls the usage and shape of furniture thanks to the effects of movement and deployment, enhanced by light that is captured by woven patterns.

Monica Guggisberg et Philip Baldwin

Or how to keep things big. These two glass blowers have been taking us for a ride (in a glass boat) for years. But always in a simple and virtuous way, with a sense of light and an approach that is easy to identify. The Long voyage: Memories, Tears, Joy drifts along, 9 meters packed with amphoras and memories, individual matter that has become shared.

FORT ROYAL AND JEAN-MARC GADY MAkE THEIR COLLABORATION OFFICIAL

Fort Royal unites the best crafters in their field, as recognized by their peers. High standards, rigor, authenticity, precision, and an incredible passion: these are the qualities that all members of Fort Royal have in common.

For the Révélations fair, Fort Royal has asked one of today’s up-and-coming French designers, Jean-Marc Gady, to create a set of pieces that show off the overlapping skills of each craft represented within the group.

The work involved in this collaboration is proof that crafts are a very special way of expressing contemporary design when it is a bearer of emotion. Fort Royal is thrilled to see the dream of an entire line of work come true: a trade fair that gives so much more to arts and crafts : Revelations!

Collection designed by Jean-Marc Gady, made by Craman-Lagarde, Simon Marq and Crézé and edited by Fort Royal.

THE GRANDS ATELIERS DE FRANCE CELEBRATE THEIR 20TH BIRTHDAY

PAGE 11 PAGE 12

The Grands Ateliers de France association, which currently includes 65 houses and 98 different handicrafts, will be celebrating its 20th birthday at the Revelations trade fair.

65 members will be exhibiting 58 pieces, most of them created specially for Revelations, including some resulting from collaborations between several workshops: engraving, embossing, printing and lithography, goldsmithery and jeweler’s craft, fashion and accessories, design, interior design, cabinet-making, lacquer, glass and stained glass, sculpture, ironwork, instrument making, models and complicated mechanisms, etc.

By highlighting their skills in handling rare materials and applying unique know-how, they have succeeded in presenting pieces with an exceptionally high standard of quality.

To celebrate their birthday, which is a proof of longevity and energy that are rare within associations, the Grands Ateliers are publishing an art book, 'Le Temps Traversé', sanctioned by Plume Création, as well as a modern version of their website. www.grandsateliersdefrance.com

The Grands Ateliers de France would not have been able to exhibit at the first Biennial of crafts and creation without the support of the following people, whom they extend their warmest thanks to: - Franz Wassmer - Jean Bergeron - AREPIL - CIPRéS vIE - Marc-Arthur kohn

NATIONAL MANUFACTORIES

Sèvres has decided to present one of its most exceptional creations, the 'Louis XXI', a human shaped piece of porcelain born from a close collaboration between Italian architect and designer Andrea Branzi and the institution, as a co-edition with Mouvements Modernes.

A table centerpiece made up of eleven separate items of soft porcelain, designed in 2010 in a limited series of eight, it is extremely refined, with subtle skin tones and light, flowing shapes. Andrea Branzi, who is known for his talent for granting meaning to objects in their human and cultural

dimension, was inspired by the traditional wording used for Sèvres porcelain and decided to integrate this meaningful tradition into his work of art: mounted or footed bowl, high chalice or low footed corolla make up a new pomp, a contemporary vision for the most firmly rooted traditions.

"Louis XXI is a sovereign who survived the French Revolution by remaining incognito… today, he is offering us a gift from the past, the erotic matter of his human porcelains, at the crossroads of genetics and design." Andrea Branzi, 2009

Ever since they came to life, the Cité de la céramique and the Mobilier national have always strived to achieve a blend of their know-how with the talent of the best creators of their time. These two institutions are now presenting a selection of recent creations that have come to life thanks to a thriving communication between the artists and the art technicians of the ministry of Culture and Communication.

The selection - a piece of porcelain, an item of furniture and a contemporary rug - reflects the resonances that are visible in the artistic creations of each institution, while bringing to mind their contribution to the renewal of shapes, of home furnishings and decor, including for the national palaces. An audio-visual animation introduces you to these houses, revealing the trade secrets and the beauty of each movement involved in the world of creation.

PAGE 13 PAGE 14

Le Mobilier national has chosen to present the carbon fiber desk created in 2010, by the Research and Creation workshop based on an idea by Christian Ghion. In the briefing note introducing the desk along with several other items designed in the same spirit, Ghion details his approach: "to free myself from any preconceived ideas, I envisioned myself as a researcher, a mixed media artist, and an architect. These propositions speak of my passion for organic universes, where void is as important as matter… where the invisible and the visible go hand in hand. Inside plays with outside and hides its trail… the use of carbon fiber, a natural and elementary product, was a spontaneous and obvious choice."

Next, the Christian Ghion house presents a knotted pile rug, 'Les Javels', created in 2012 by the Savonnerie manufactory based on a model by Julien Gardair: "Designing a carpet was first and foremost about paying tribute to the Orient and confronting myself with the question of what the word 'decorative' implies. This is why in the cardboard you’ll find elements that resemble the spandrels, the pattern, the border, the limitation of elements and colors. We also needed to grasp the

fact that the rug goes on the floor and is looked at from above, that you see more of it by moving around it, etc. The other sensitive issue for me was the decorative concept. This word often has a derogatory connotation and is used to qualify what lacks spirit in our minds. However, when you read Matisse, you realize just how noble this word can be. This is why thinking of the decorative aspect for me meant trying to turn the question of the author around; moving away from the foreground and leaving things open enough that you can make them yours and live with them."

Tzuri Gueta

Textile designer and creatorParisCollaborative partnerships: Christian Lacroix, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Dior, Armani, Chanel, Issey Miyake...

Tzuri Gueta has a Masters’ degree in textile engineering. He has developed and patented "Silicon Lace": when introduced within textile, liquid silicon solidifies, creating disturbing volumes that are reminiscent of human skin to the touch. This particularly innovative process, which can be used to create jewellery, suspensions and textiles, is of particular appeal to the fashion design industry thanks to its capacity to imitate organic or vegetal textures. The first encounter is visual; the second is tactile. The sensuality of this astounding matter can only be appreciated when you wear the jewels and stroke them – when you let them glide along your skin. The organic shapes find an echo in our flesh and arouse our reptilian memory.

Miki Nakamura studied paper making at the Osaka University of Arts. She works with white mulberry tree bark which she draws out and models into artistic forms. Her sculptures are of unique intricacy; genuine ethereal lace, sometimes luminous, their inspiration stems simply from the plant or animal worlds: flowers, bubbles, butterflies... Miki Nakamura also uses paper to produce decorative objects for the home, along with her partner, Jean-Michel Letellier.

Erwan BoulloudDesigner, sculptorPantin - Ile de France (France)

After graduating from Boulle in 1995, Erwan Boulloud acquired unique know-how and, in 2003, opened his own workshop. This is when

creation as such became possible, along with real materials: metal, wood, concrete, glass; mineral or vegetal; raw, burned, polished, taken apart, put back together. As a creator of artistic furniture and sculptures, he seeks to reveal their profoundness.

Julian SchwarzWood sculptorFranceCollaborative partnerships: Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Fonds national d’art contemporain and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris…

Fascinated by Japanese wooden architecture, popular art and the shape of form sarcophagi, the British artist Julian Schwarz carves out ash, oak and cherry tree trunks to form containers of all sorts (urns, bowls, cups...) with clean lines and geometric precision. His 'vessels' are appropriately named, for some of his outsized pieces weigh up to 45 kg. His powerful and symbolic work always bears the mark of his manual tools.

Isabelle LéourierMilliner Chambly – Picardie (France)Collaborative partnerships: Christian Lacroix, Jean-Louis Scherrer, Valentino...

After training as a fashion designer and gaining experience in women’s fashion, Isabelle Léourier turned to textile sculpture and headpieces. Her creativity and freedom of expression are stimulated by the relationship between the body in movement and the eyes, which are the mirror of the soul. Her conception of an elegant headpiece-sculpture falls somewhere between a hat and a hair jewel, yet not quite one or the other. Her work draws on a vision based on balance and airiness combined with a subtle play on lines, colours, matter and light.

Nelly Saunier Feather workerMaster of ArtParisCollaborative partnerships: Nina Ricci, Givenchy, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Luc Besson...

Nelly Saunier is one of the last representatives of a unique artistic profession: feather-workers. For over thirty years she has been perpetuating an ancient skill that used to enchant kings and princes, when merrymaking was a must and costumes had to be as luxurious as possible, to dazzle and delight the onlooker. She likes to conjure up the candour of nature: "Birds are born elegant; their appearance is not a lie. They are free in the way they express their beauty. That is the kind of spontaneity and expression that I share. A feather is pure emotion."

THE INSTITUT FRANCAIS EXHIBITIONS

The Institut français, the French ministry of foreign Affairs’ agency for cultural action abroad is presenting at Revelations two of its travelling exhibitions: Tableaux Tables and LuxInsinde.

Tableaux Tables – Les arts de la table, design et savoir-faire traditionnel

The Tableaux Tables exhibition - offer an opportunity to highlight some collaborative partnerships between 38 French designers and 23 tableware manufacturing houses. Major names in French crockery, cutlery and crystal (such as Baccarat, Bernardaud, Christofle…) have called upon renowned designers and young artists (Philippe Starck, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Olivier Gagnère…) to work on modernising their product ranges. The exhibition will reunite ten 60 x 120cm tables, which will be presented like paintings, each one depicting a different meal. The exhibition scenography is the work of the stylist Olivier Guillemin and the architect and designer Olivier védrine. Commissioner: Elisabeth Couturier, art critic.

LuxInside – Les traces de l’Homme

The very essence of luxury consists in never revealing any trace of the manual work accomplished, in order to exclusively preserve an elegant expression that erases all sign of associated effort. It is an essence we strive to achieve, even at the risk of losing sight of the skills required to produce such luxury, and the implementation of the latest in innovative technology. The LuxInside exhibition, the product of a collective artistic network, presents fourteen photographs of iconical luxury objects, which have been imaged by a scanner and which unveil, for example, the interior of a Cadolle corset,of a Hermès saddle or a Louboutin court shoe. Laurence Picot, Jean-François Paul, Sylvain Ordureau and Ricardo Escobar, have perfected a protocol that would literally plunge the spectator into the heart of these luxury objects. The 14 originals objects will be presented. Commissioner: Laurence Picot, journalist.

SYMPOSIUM "ART, CREATION AND SOCIETY: OvER TO THE ARTISTS"

Thursday 12 September 8.00 -11.00PM Auditorium of Grand Palais

La Maison des Artistes and Ateliers d’Art de France are two professional organisations, which, ever since their creation, have been devoted to promoting, representing, defending and developing their members’ activities, whether they specialise in images or matter. With current talks of overhauling the social security system of artists-authors, it was natural for these two institutions to team up and share their point of view on theprofessional reality of creators, and on the full integration of craftworkers into the social system of artists-authors.

With the idea in mind that image and matter artists are authors, creators and designers first and foremost, La Maison des Artistes and Ateliers d’Art de France are organising 2 symposiums with the title "Art, creation and society: over to the artists". The first one will take place at Revelations.

THEME 1: DO ARTISTS MAKE ART ?

- What is an artist ?- The artist’s place in society.

THEME 2: ART AND CREATION

- The question of 'making' in art.- The challenges of the creation process.- Co-production and collaboration.

THEME 3: THE FRENCH CULTURAL EXCEPTION IS IN DANGER. TIME TO ACT!

- Saving the wealth of cultural diversity.- Down with stereotypes, what is an artists 'real' daily life ?- Artists of image, artists of matter: all creators!

CONFERENCES

Thursday 12 September 10.30 -11.30am

Successfully handing over a Craft business.

The aim of this round table is to offer an insight into the key ingredients that ensure the success and the longevity of Craft businesses. An overview of transmission strategies implemented by business leaders to preserve their know-how, their production tools and their integrity, will be presented via testimonies by companies boasting exemplary longevity.

Thursday 12 September 6.00 - 7.00pm

The role and the place of State manufacturing houses in the Craft Trade.

Through their specific economic model and their attributed missions, the vocation of manufacturing houses, a pure product of Colbertism, is to preserve ancestral skills and know-how, whilst challenging them via a constant quest for innovation. These founding principles prevail to this very day and are complemented by business creation mechanisms. The Sèvres - Cité de la céramique and Mobilier National manufacturing houses will be presenting their respective action and the links they have forged with creation.

Friday 13 September 10.30 -11.30am

The vocation and mission of foundations in the Craft Trade.

Whilst the number of foundations associated with artistic craftsmanship has been constantly on the increase over recent years, each and every one has its own specific vocation, offering professionals a range of support and coaching services that are as dense as they are crystal clear. The foundations present at the event will be illustrating the natural link that reunites the world of philanthropic action and the world of artistic craftsmanship and creation.

Saturday 14 September 10.30 -11.30am

Artistic craftsmanship and auction: a new deal?

Artistic craft and creation made their grand entry into public sales a few years ago and the movement appears to be intensifying. Initially an alternative mode of dissemination and recognition of creators and their know-how, auctions specifically devoted to the craft trade could well assert a sustainable role comparable to that of other fields of visual art, hence contributing towards determining a merchant value. Our speakers, all specialists in the field, will present the mechanisms that have been implemented and the changes they have noted.

Saturday 14 September 2.30 - 3.30pm

The master of art and his student: transmission at the heart of relations

Masters of Art place the question of transmission at the heart of the master-student relationship, well beyond the simple notion of know-how. The interpersonal relationship that reunites the Master of Art with his student, as a mentor, embraces all notions of identity, of 'action', of art, of self, of our place in societyand of the meaning of what we do. Feedback on Master-student experiences.
