“Dessein d’eau,” an artistic event based on the work of Agnès Pezeu, will be on view from May 11th to July 15th, 2006 at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud and Ville d’Avray with the sponsorship of Nestlé Waters France.

The book created by Communic’Art is characterized by a number of texts facing photographs of the installations.

The catalogue presents an analytic and critical text by art historian Francis Parent, a text describing the stroll of the exhibition, and a historical one on the hydraulic network, both written by Leslie Lepers.

The photographs of the works, taken by Claude Gassian, enhance their aesthetical relationship with Nature and History.

This contemporary art stroll was conceived to reveal the large hydraulic network that stands as a historical link between the two locations.

For three centuries, the waters of Ville d’Avray have nourished the spectacle of fountains, sprays and falls that represent one of the main richness of the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud.

The stroll is materialized by a succession of works: monumental canvases are submerged in ponds or supdended in trees; mirrors made in surprising shapes and sizes are positionned on, in, and along the water; and engraved glass blocks are inlayed in the ground.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe
