Please come and participate in this debate about the status of an artist and afterwards enjoy the talent of the amazing saxophonist Raphael Imbert
Acclaimed by the Blues Festival public Raphael Imbert is coming back for a free set open to all this Saturday 24/10. He will perform an of the Operatic Drama "The Last Anniversary " at the Stable Theatre.
An artist does art. We hesitate about who is artist and why. Is one an artist because one produces art ? Or is art produced by the artist ? Both points of view may be valid within this circular reasoning.
And what of their social or legal status ? Following the initiatives of the artists themselves the political world has in fact become aware of the specificity of their activity and of the need to exercise their activity in circumstances other than in precarity. In France the rights of the artist are particular and constantly being questioned. What is going to happen in South Africa where everything remains to be put in place?
