Résidence Entrelacs 2023
The Entrelacs cross-residency is being coordinated by the small troglodytic village of Villaine-les-Rochers in Touraine, France. This annual residency aims to draw a reflection on the new uses and know-hows of basketry. It hosts artists and craft practitioners who collaborate on contemporary creations. The main goal is to protect the local basketry production and to raise awareness about the art of basketry in France.
The poster, journal and brochure produced for each residency were created with modesty, efficiency and lightness. The intention was to put the work of the residents at the center of each piece of communication. The identity is carried through the sturdy and organic Droulers typeface and the kraft ribbon, acting like a wicker twig to intertwine the many communication devices.
This first edition sheds light on Clemence Althabegoity and Catherine Romand (from Romand’art Basketry), winners of the 2024 Liliane Bettencourt prize for l’Intelligence de la Main (“Intelligence of the Hand”) with their wicker shade structure Tresser l’Ombre (“Weaving the Shade”).
