Since May 15 and until September 15, fourteen artistic installations punctuate the wine landscape of Champagne Marne, south of the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs.
The festival "Vign'Art" proposes for its first edition a new and ephemeral topography from which emerge in particular, the "Flottements of feathers" of the Indian Shilpa Jogletar on a basin of the park Vix d'Avize, the "sentinels" totems in neglected wood of Eric Junod Essorts Ay-Champagne or, on the heights of Chouilly, the giant wave of Alice and David Bertizzolo. 23 m long, 6 m wide and 2.5 m high, it is made up of 300 stakes of wood surmounted by phosphorescent windmills visible at night.
"The Champagne landscape is the subject of the works and Vign'Art's aim is to promote natural resources", explains Jean-Baptiste Duteurtre, at the initiative of this unpublished exhibition mainly supported by "Epernay Agglo Champagne" and the community. common of the Great Marne Valley.
