Alexandre Bavard x JUSTKIDS.
Global creative house JUSTKIDS hosted French artist Alexandre Bavard as the winter guest of its arts residency program in San Juan Puerto Rico. While on the island, the multidisciplinary artist developed new works spanning his Neo-archeological sculptures, print works, costumes and textiles as well as his performative practice. The culmination of these new explorations and body of work was on view during the second edition of MECA International Art Fair, celebrated November 16th till the 19th at the Ancient Spanish Navy Arsenals Museum in Old San Juan.
The urban, social and phycological context of the island inspired Bavard’s visual and performative work, creating important connections. About his residency in Puerto Rico, Alexander Bavard commented: “San Juan is a city of explorers and crossing, which is, a year after Hurricane Maria, re-imagining itself. Exactly like the work of an artists is to me. Its building new concepts, looking for new materials to develop in all ways. It’s also an exchange and collaboration with the dance company La Trinchera towards the adaptation of my performance. Its the magic of the Arts and the encounters it provokes beyond all frontiers.”
