The Enchanted Garden, 2012 - In Loving Memory of My Mother
This little visual journey through 'The Enchanted Garden - 2012' has been made in Loving Memory of my Mother - who wanted so much to come
and visit the garden this year - and who died so suddenly, August 3rd, 2012, 2
days before this exhibition ended.
I thank all the 33 artists who made this wonderful exhibition possible -
and I thank especially my dear friend Nicky, whose music played as a sound installation throughout the exhibition time, and whose music accompanies this Memory of it all right here.
He also performed a live concert at the Closing Evening.....when the Heavens echoed my tears...
- Thank you Nicky, thank you Helle - thank you Ann, Cecilia, Viviane, Saïda, Serge, Sherry, Dominique, Céline Verlant, Ria Carbnonez, and all who helped make this exhibition and Closing event possible!
And most of all, my dear husband Ignace, and my sister Marian.

'Le charme du Jardin enchanté - 02/07/2012
JODOIGNE -'
S’il est une promenade qui ne se refuse pas, celle celle du
Jardin enchanté Tone Aanderaa. Trente-trois artistes y
exposent durant un mois.
Cet été, s’il y a une promenade artistique et verte, ménagée
de coins d’ombre, de sous-bois et de bancs, qui vaut vraiment
le déplacement, c’est celle qui mène chez l’artiste
norvégienne Tone Aanderaa. Nous sommes à Sainte-Marie-
Geest, à l’arrière de l’ancienne gare Station 14, dans son
longiligne jardin. Elle et son mari Ignace Clarysse ont réussi
l’an dernier le pari un peu fou de transformer ce qui était une
demi-brousse en véritable petit paradis vert. Seconde étape,
des sculptures, durant un mois, avaient habité les lieux.
«Pour la première édition de Art Sanctuary en 2011,
explique Tone Aanderaa, il fallait compter une grosse heure pour boucler la promenade au milieu des oeuvres de
mes amis et amies sculpteurs. Cette année, il faut compter une demi-heure de plus, car j’ai décidé d’accueillir 33
artistes chez moi.»
Trente-trois! Autant dire qu’il faut être difficile pour ne pas trouver son bonheur. Ces artistes ont une source
d’inspiration commune : la nature. Sculptures en bois, pierre bleue, bois, métal, céramique ou matériaux
composites se multiplient tout au long de la balade. Un labyrinthe serpentant autour d’une pièce d’eau a été
aménagé sur le haut du jardin. Une toile d’araignée artistique de cinq ou six mètres semble même y donner accès.
Tout cela est d’un goût et d’une simplicité qui laissent pantois. «Le plus étonnant, confiait la conteuse Christiane
De Coster, présente à l’inauguration de vendredi dernier, c’est qu’en allant de surprise en surprise tout au long de
la promenade, on est envahi par une sorte de tranquillité intérieure.» Les artistes, eux, étaient aux anges. Comme
le «local» Jean-Michel Uyttersprot, qui a sorti son appareil photo. «En fin de journée, souriait-il, la lumière est si
belle et les oeuvres exposées si marquantes que l’on veut en garder quelque chose.»
Jusqu’au 5/8, les ven (18-22h), sam et dim (14-20h), rue du Tilleul 22, Sainte-Marie-Geest. 010 810 614

Art Sanctuary Welcomes New Encounters - Lea Tridetti; Land Art
Lea Tridetti
Artiste plasticienne conceptuelle
‘Artiste
plasticienne conceptuelle, Lea Tridetti est toujours à la recherche
de nouveaux moyens d’expressions et de nouveaux défis :
peinture, sculpture contemporaine, tapisserie, installation,
performance, faire participer le passant à l’œuvre.
Dès
son plus jeune âge, tout ce qui tombe entre ses mains est détourné
de sa fonction première pour être transformé en objet insolite
sans aucune utilité, juste pour le plaisir de la création.
Dans cette exposition, Lea Tridetti nous présente une toile d’araignée, réalisée à partir de matériaux de la vie de tous les jours.
Etes-vous l’araignée, la toile, la proie ou … les trois ? Qu’attraper vous ? Que laissez-vous capter de vous?‘
Art Sanctuary Welcomes New Encounters; Ria Carbonez Lunda Zelo - Conteuse

Story Teller;
will be arriving in 'The Enchanted Garden' on the Closing Event - PROGRAM will be announced!
Conteuse,
Passeuse de mots, j’aime tourner autour des mots. J’aime offrir
les images que les mots inspirent. J’aime partager ma passion.
Vertellen,
met woorden spelen, rond woorden draaien en dansen: daar hou ik van!
Met
plezier, vol overgave en passie schenk ik u de beelden en de
sfeer die woorden bij mij oproepen. Geniet ervan.

Art Sanctuary welcomes Fabrice Bellery
- And finally I am happy to introduce the last of the artists exhibiting in Art Sanctuary 2012:
Fabrice Bellery
is from Belgium, 'nuts' (i.e. passionate) about the Belgian Blue Stone
- humorous and playful -
and/yet tracing his visual roots back to the (very serious) Egyptian times (painted sculptures)
(- His statement - see below)
My immediate attraction to his work were through his 'totems' -
Profondément ancrée en moi,
la sculpture est ma voie, ma vie et
l'inspiration est infinie...
Certaines de mes sculptures sont peintes à
la main,
un retour aux sources, comme au temps des
égyptiens et des cathédrales,
on l'on peignait les sculptures.
