The chronicle

Mars in February...

Mars attacks! Again, in February, this time.

We don't know why, the Martians speak Russian.

They have big pinched noses,

fangs from which bloody slobber is beading


But we won't let them. Punished, they will be!

They will not have the right to take the Swiss nationality,

nor to open a bank account in Paris...


without a Martian account

it will be all right!

An interview

Two questions to Anne Millot, nose sculptor


John Glastod: Your background is off the beaten path. Doctor in geography, sailor out of the usual maritime routes, you have moored your sailboat and for ages, seem to be fascinated by noses... these non maritime Finistère... You have become THE sculptor, recognized by the profession, at the Grand Palais, in Grasse and many other places!


Anne Millot : There is an underlying continuity. The face is a landscape, and the nose expresses a lot. One remains fascinated by a look, the sensuality of a mouth, but the nose remains this relief which structures the face.


John Glastod : The sense of smell comes from the nose...


Anne Millot : The connection to the brain is well known. Perfume, wine, the scent of a loved one, the nose opens up a world...

Presentation of an artist...

Anne-Laure Koubbi


What would the world be like if we placed shapes, patterns and materials in a box, shook it to bring out a new configuration of life?


What if, playing with a deranged Darwinism, nature repopulated itself with sublime or disturbing hybrids?


It seems to the artist that the subjects thus reinvented offer true wanderings of the spirit, letting the ores of the unconscious freely spring forth...
