Sculptures Bachelard

Sculptures Bachelard is an In Situ work by French artist Jean-Max Albert installed in 1986 in the Parc de la Villette, Paris, France.

[3] A "rendering" not in the sense of a photograph – or it would be a kind of camera that would take one shot and then petrified itself in the form of the environment targeted – but more like an abstract model concentrating, agglomerating, in a sort of nucleus (and somehow in an animist concept) the spirit of this space.

[4] Each sculpture thus, transposes into a geometric summary portions of space which, according to their location, suggest different qualities of atmosphere designed by Bernard Tschumi, Gilles Vexlard and Laurence Vacherot.

[7] Under François Mitterrand’s presidency, many public works of art were initiated in the frame of the "Grands travaux", an artistic renewal supported by the government.

In February 1986 the Etablissement Public du Parc de la Villette (EPPV) commissioned Jean-Max Albert for this sculpture project.
