We meet Remy at the LaNature Festival in Vielsalm, Belgium.
We immediately fall in love with his performance ‘Sans Titre‘ a work about the obsession with weather, changing climate…
it has been raining for two days, all around is an enchantment of nature and mud.
It is 8.30 in the morning.
There is magic and beauty.

Vielsalm (BE) 2024
REMY LOUCHART lives and works in the Paris area, France.
Video artist and painter, sometimes (often) involved in performance art and artists’ books, which get published every 2 years or so – Having worked as a video artist for several years, his works are a show of force between fiction, the documentary, serious prank and frequently involve family members or other such-like idols of his. The audience is baffled, constantly

The weather 2
The Weather 2
is the second issue of The Weather, an artists’ newspaper (2022). The artwork reproduced on its cover and on the inside spread are the same as those reproduced in The Weather (1). The authors of the horoscope on the last page are also the same as those who had designed the games section on the last page of issue # 1.
The Weather 2 is so much the same thing as The Weather (1) that one may wonder whether the former might not just be an additional copy of the latter, rather than the second issue after the first, no ?

Gift
What I don’t understand is how it is possible for an art collector to give one of his works to a museum and thesaid museum buys it at the same time. This was found as such in San Diego Museum Of Contemporary Art – Selections From The Permanent Collection (1990), pp. 84-5
When such a thing happens, the gift is commonly said to be ‘partial’, at least. But not here. This work, is it given to us, or not ?
