About the Item
Pierre Jaggi was born in Geneva on February 25, 1957, where he spent his childhood and completed his secondary studies. At 18 he decided to travel the wide world. He left for Asia, for a 9-month journey that took him to India and Nepal after crossing part of Afghanistan on horseback. He takes a keen interest in indigenous ways of life and various local crafts.
Subsequently, he crossed the Sahara, which he will cross again on various occasions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, he embarks on a pirogue and descends the Niger River with other companions. This experience on the borders of our civilizations will earn him the knowledge of the essential and the relative.
At the age of 20 he worked on a cargo ship bound for Togo and continued his journey through West Africa. After a short stay in Switzerland, he returned to Africa for two years during which he learned to shape the earth and produced various murals. Then it is the meeting with South America, the Andean populations and their pre-Columbian history, the crossing of the Amazon on the Amazon river. This is the period of his first travel photos. In Brazil, he manufactures sets and jewelry, and embarks from Rio as a crew member on a sailboat to cross the Atlantic. This 45-day crossing to Cape Town will remain a milestone in its existence.
Back in Geneva in 1982 he met the one who would become his companion. With her, he will navigate in the movement of the School of Fine Arts, after returning to Africa to learn about traditional techniques of lost wax casting. In Bobo-Dioulasso he meets the master founder who will pass on his knowledge to him. With friends, he built earthen huts in a bush village, and it was there that they held bronze workshops in 1984 and 1985 for students from the Geneva School of Fine Arts. He will return each winter to this African village to deepen his knowledge of bronze casting and continue his plastic research. He also photographs the natives during customary festivals. At the same time, he presents his first sculptures in a gallery in Geneva.
In 1988, he went to Uruguay for a year with his partner Arlette, it was there that their daughter Alizée was born. He set up a foundry workshop and made several sculptures which he exhibited in Buenos-Aires, Montevideo, and Punta del Este. He fell in love with the old cars that crisscrossed the roads of Uruguay and bought a Ford A 1929 pickup truck, in which he would later carry out a photographic report. Back in Europe, he settled in France with his family, restored an old farmhouse, set up a workshop and executed the sculpture “Corps et Graphie” inaugurated in Geneva in May 1991. He exhibited in various galleries in Switzerland and France. His son Valentin was born in 1994.
In 1996 he returned to Uruguay to make a report on “cachilas” (popular name given to old cars in Uruguay). That same year, he led a bronze internship during the Borne ceramic meetings. He incorporates other materials in his sculptures, such as wood, iron and stone, and works the earth again. His works, anthropomorphic in character, tend to purify lines and volumes and orient themselves towards stylized figuration and abstraction.
In 1998 he won the “Year 2000” competition organized by the municipality of Gd-Saconnex in Geneva, and exhibited at the Shakan gallery in Lausanne. Inspired by nature, he presented his first outdoor installations during the Open Doors Workshops in the Cher in 1999, and became a member of the Center Céramique de la Borne.

La Mer Melee au Soleil, 2009
By Antoni TAULÉ
Located in Atlanta, GA
Taulé was born in 1945 in Sabadell, Barcelona. His father imparted the taste for painting to Antoni as a boy as the young artist watched him paint. After his primary studies, he began studying architecture in Barcelona and graduated in 1970. In 1965, he arrived in Paris and worked in architectural firms. It was Sartre's Paris, the construction of Unesco, the year of Le Corbusier's death and the end of Chandigarh, the French Cinematheque and Antonioni's films. Since the age of 14, he has never stopped painting and made his first personal exhibition in 1966 at the Academie de Belles Arts in Sabadell.
Upon receiving his degree in architecture, he worked on the construction of l’Université autonome de Barcelone for a year. In 1971, he was asked to work on the development of a large shipyard on the small island of Formentera. There he met Laetitia Ney of Elchingen, who he would go on to marry. He devoted himself entirely to painting, and Formentera, like Paris, became one of his favorite places in both his life and to work.
His first exhibition in Paris was in 1975 with Mathias Fels, presented to him by Hervé Télémaque—showing many paintings of his young daughter Djamilla, then three years old. The exhibition was titled, Espace hors temps (Space out of Time), with a foreword by Alain Jouffroy. In 1976, Taulé exhibited Contre-Jour (Against Day) at Fabien Boulakia on rue Bonaparte with a preface by Gérald Gassiot-Talabot and in Barcelona at the Aimé Maeght gallery—an exhibition visited by Joan Miró and Alexander Calder. In 1977, he exhibited at the Beaubourg gallery, with then associates Nahon and Trigano. In 1983, he met Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortázar, who wrote the novella Fin d’étape (End of Stage) for Taulé That same year, he was named Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) by Jack Lang...

A Postcard from the Rose Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
I was born in Atlanta, Ga. in i948 and have always lived in the South. The rich tradition of storytelling is in my blood and it is impossible to ignore its influence on my narrative paintings.I am the director of my own tale and must create the characters, the setting, and the poetic tensions implied between the characters and the viewer.
My paintings are done on canvas or museum board in a realistic manner with much attention to detail. I
have created a technique of layering oil paints and varnish that give the surface a unique technical aspect, one that visually reflects the many levels at which the narrative can be interpreted.
The paintings begin with the seed of an idea and a strong fascination and empathy for the central character. One can rely on conscious judgements concerning composition, whether to paint the figure nude or elaborately costumed ,and the use of one's own personal symbols and icons. I believe that only when the artist moves into uncertain territory and listens to her own private language, can she
move beyond mere painting. Artist Statement C.Dawn Davis
