Visions Bretonnes in Plougoulm: Corentin Kembraeg Exhibition
SOZO takes its name from the Japanese words for creation and imagination, and every piece at the Médiathèque Ty Koulm, Plougoulm, is printed by the sun. Cyanotype lays plants on sensitised paper and lets daylight do the exposing; a rinse in water leaves their silhouettes white against deep blue. A fern, a blade of grass, a leaf forgotten on a path: the subjects grow underfoot. Exposure times vary, so blues and shadows shift print to print.
Exposition Chapelle Sainte Anne in Saint-Broladre: Art Show
Exposition Chapelle Sainte Anne places contemporary art inside a small Breton chapel whose restoration remains part of the story. Pastels, paintings, watercolors, graphic pieces and photography share the space, so the building reads as both gallery and protected local monument. The seasonal program also keeps the Pardon Ste Anne and the Fête des Peintres in view, linking Saint-Broladre’s religious setting with living artistic practice.
