Day of fire
http://www.grandbesancon.info/actualite/culture/jour-du-feu-a-lisba-de-besancon/
a paper kiln was constructed and used to fire ceramic artefacts created in a workshop by the Greek artist Hector Mavridis.
Talking to the artist he explains that because of communication difficulties the kiln was not made perfectly and this was why it collapsed very quickly but it was still impressive to view.
There was also a performance piece where the artist asked two students to stand in the window very still and hold clay blocks, after there was a sacred burial of these blocks.
The art school

On display in the art gallery there was also work by the artist Gwilherm Courbet, which can be seen on the first video, I felt his work is an interesting take on positive and negative space.
This was a Festival inspired by fire and supported by artist, it was an evening of BBQ sausages and baked potatoes and plenty of Cote Du Rhone, an opportunity to bring artist together in the art school, talk to the artists and be inspired.
