Tender, granite statue in France
As part of the development of the town, elected officials wanted to highlight the granite. This development of granite has already begun with the exhibition "The stone song" of the sculptor Jean-Yves Menez, who died in 2016. She is behind the church. Now the town has a second project which is the installation of a monumental sculpture on the church square. The call for projects has just been launched on the following theme: "Tribute to granite: its past, present or future".
This project will be done in collaboration with the company Marc SA and Eric Hillion, who will open a workshop on its site Languédias to allow the realization of the easiest possible work. "It's a matter of paying tribute to the soil and the people who worked this stone, the picous, and the granite basin," said Christian Gicquel, ajdoint and in charge of the file.
The quarry will provide the required block (s) and it will be offered three colors (pearl gray, red and beige), knowing that the three colors can be used. The project is open to professionals or artists, either individually, as a team or via an association. The candidate will have to propose his vision of the work supported by a sketch and a short description (it will be refused copies of work). Submission of the files no later than February 28, 2019. The choice will be decided in committee. The project could begin in April 2019 and last six weeks.
