Marked by its insular nature, the Centre du Monde is a place of reflection, research, and isolation. It provides artists, writers, painters, sculptors, musicians, choreographers, exhibition curators, photographers, and researchers of all kinds with a precious space and time of freedom for one month. The rule of the game implies that they can leave a trace of their presence in the house, as well as a book that enriches an eclectic and unique library. These books are like a message in a bottle; available to future residents, they weave an invisible connection between artists who, for the most part, do not know each other.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the book \u003cem\u003eLe centre du monde\u0026nbsp;(description of an invisible sculpture)\u003c/em\u003e, the author spends a night in the place, ten years after its opening, and reflects on all the works present in the residency through their systematic description.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation\u0026nbsp;of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eErwan Mah\u0026eacute;o creates spaces for contemplation. The Centre du Monde is one of these spaces, defining a working situation and an architecture that connects the mental space with the physical space. It is an open framework, a context in which different individuals contribute to the construction of a unique space, the development of a hybrid sculpture, and the formation of a collection that brings together a range of individual experiences linked to a specific situation.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":5042,"name":"Erwan Mahéo","category":{"en":"Author","nl":"Auteur","fr":"Auteur"}}]}
