8th Biennale Humour & Vigne 2008 JONZAC – France

8th Biennale “Humour & Vigne” 2008 JONZAC – France

What is the meaning of « Humour & Vigne »

To what does « Vigne » refer ?
« Humour & Vigne » is the name of the biennial festival and its organising association. In choosing the word « vigne » (both vine and vineyard) rather than « vin » (wine) the organisers offer artists a broader spectrum of choice which could include, for example : the plant, the stock, the leaves, the grapes, the grape juice and of course the wine ! Numerous other products such as Cognac, Pineau des Charentes, Champagne etc… without forgetting the vineyard and the men who cultivate and plant the vines on their own very particular soil. Again the cellars, the distillery, the barrels, the bottles and the glasses for the joy of tasting. In short, we could decline over several pages the list of concepts that cover the word « vigne ».
Cartoons and the vine both facilitate an exchange which goes beyond the barriers of language adding to the pleasure and well being of all peoples.
What is the biennial festival ?
Since 1994, held every two years in the summer, the festival of Jonzac has gained international renown. The programme includes exhibitions, spectacles, and humorous entertainements. The festival welcomes artists and supports regional and international links. The event gives the opportunity to publish a catalogue, a poster and humorous wine labels. Every festival keeps a general theme of « Humour & Vigne » and every time proposes a unique subject : Cognac en 1996, Earth and Sea in 1998, Millennium Merriment in 2000, the Kitchen in 2002, Art in 2004, Sport in 2006 and Love in 2008 (Guest of honour will be Bridenne)
Who is concerned ?
In 2006, 275 cartoonists (numbering amongst them some famous names and many members of FECO) from over forty countries, submitted about 700 artworks half of which were selected for inclusion in the exhibition. About 20 cartoonists, a dozen of performance artists, thirty or more organising volunteers and sixty supporters and sponsors were present. All the above contributed to the success of the event, as did the 35.000 (approx) visitors who attended the exhibition in Jonzac and others towns in France.
Where and when is it ?
In Jonzac town of water and of Pineau situated between Cognac and Bordeaux. From 21th June to 15th July 2008. Inauguration and celebration Saturday 28th June 2008.
In brief
« Humour & Vigne » has no other ambition than to unite the talents of cartoonists worldwide around a theme generous in its interpretation A small festival in a small town with a small budget but a high investment from volunteers creating bonhomie between the invited artists participants and organisers.

YILMAZ GUNEY CULTURE AND ART FESTIVAL

CARICATURE CONTEST

 

A caricature contest is organized along with short film, drama, short story, poetry, music,  painting and folkloric dances contests by Yüz Çiçek Açsýn Culture Center and Demokratik Gençlik Hareketi (Democratic Youth Movement) in the context of  Yilmaz Guney Culture and Art Festival, whose final is to be realized in Istanbul on Sunday 27th of January 2007. No competitive concept as to pass beyond or to go ahead is aimed but a concept to gather differing opinions or art concepts and to share it with people at the contests to be held in the context of the festival. In those days where we cannot tolerate our differing opinions and we perceive them as antagonisme, it is more significant and important to create a collective consciousness standing for goodness and beauty… Therefore our aim is not to have participants in a race and to award them but to promote and contribute to the beauty.
