The New Patrons is a project that the Fondation de France has been delivering since the 1990s. People wrestling with issues of society and land development are given the chance to share their concerns with contemporary artists by commissioning works.
The originality of the scheme lies in the intersection of three groups of participants who are supported by the public and private partners: artists, ordinary people who commission works, and cultural mediators approved by the Fondation de France.
In this frame, I realized three study projects entitled "narrative Sirens", "dynamoscopic Panels" and "mobile kiosk and videoprojection", this last one was selected by the commissioning group. Eventually, this project was not able to succeed because of incomprehensions between local representatives and Fondation de France mediators.
