Started five years ago, Le voyage à Nantes is a summer-long citywide cultural festival in the French city. Complemented by a multitude of events, a programme of site-specific works can be found among the city’s cultural and historical landmarks. Pictured: 'Le Skate Ô Drome' by Fichtre, 2015.

“南特已经发生了很大的变化,”建筑师托马斯·坎丁(ThomasCantin)说。在过去12年里,他目睹了家乡城市创意社区的蓬勃发展。康廷是南特艺术家集体fichtre的一部分,它只是越来越多的创意工作室之一,他们选择把这座法国城市作为自己的家,而不是巴黎的狂热。布列塔尼出生的设计师伊莎贝尔·罗兰(Isabelle Rolland)最近从黎巴嫩经巴黎搬回了这个城市,他说:“我知道这里很舒适,离海边不远,但现在是个好去处。”“我很高兴看到这里的创意社区是如何成长的。”
一个世纪后,南特遭遇了许多不幸——在20世纪30年代,它的美丽运河被用来建造多车道林荫大道,在第二次世界大战期间,它的建筑遭到轰炸,1987的造船厂关闭了。当城市欢迎Jean Marc Ayrault成为新市长时。
1984年,一位名叫让·布莱斯(Jean Blaise)的企业家在南特创办了文化发展研究中心,他的工作给他留下了深刻的印象。为了扭转这座城市日渐衰落的命运,艾罗决定对文化和艺术进行大量投资。这笔投资获得了回报,尽管艾罗继续担任法国总理(从2012年到2014年),布莱斯(Blaise)一直是他的得力助手,但他继续了两人26年前开始的工作。布莱斯在该市举办了许多文化活动,并创建了勒里奥独特的艺术中心,现在的重点是一个名为“南特之旅”的夏季艺术节。
在庆祝今年的第五部,“南特之旅”是一条艺术小径,在城市街道上蜿蜒而行,以绿线为标志。微笑-在每一个拐弯处都有诱人的干预措施-一个电话亭被贝内德托·布法里诺(Benedeto Bufarino)变成了一个水族馆,一个巨大的卷尺在莉莲·布尔盖特(Lilian Bourgeat)的一栋建筑旁边倒塌,一个由奥里连·博里(Aurélien Bory)蜿蜒而过的人行@@虽然这座城市的大部分艺术作品都是临时性的,但也有一些人找到了自己的永久家园,比如2007年、2009年和2012年作为埃斯特奥尔项目(Estauaire Program)的一部分创建的装置-30件当代艺术品,分布在卢瓦尔河口的120公里处。它的遗产包括2007年在建筑学院前院出现的一座无定形的蓝色雕塑-加上Atelier van Lieshout的酒吧-以及Jean-Luc Courcot的“La Maison dans La Loire”-一座坐落在河床上的部分淹没的房子,每天都被潮水淹没。
但是,在南特的绿线上最迷人的景象或许可以在“机器”上找到,这是一个有十年历史的项目,催生了一支庞大的机械生物舰队,其中包括一只12米高的大象,它在城市的老造船厂周围游行,一只巨大的移动蜘蛛挂在一个仓库里,一只高耸的三层海洋主题蒸汽朋克旋转木马。正是在这里的车间里,这座城市的下一个展厅即将成形-一棵35米高、50米宽的树,上面有两只机械苍鹭,它们将把观光客装在翅膀下的篮子里。
很难想象有一个城市的居民会接受如此雄心勃勃和幻想的艺术项目,但在南特,它似乎适合。在参观这座城市的艺术品时,我们当地的导游告诉我们,‘他们称我们为’ouest‘-这个成语的意思是’西部人‘,但也暗示’有点疯狂‘-南泰人骄傲地戴着这个徽章。
