It is about a week ago I left France and the ceramics residency ended kind of abruptly because of the Corona virus crisis. Residents left earlier. Fortunately, all the projects were fired, finished and critiqued and we had our last dinner together.
Dr. Wendy Gers accepted me for this Rise Residency 2020 in Southern France for coaching a group of people coming from over the world to deepen research in ceramics and strengthen our art expression. And how to make ourselves stronger and manifest in the art world.
She is a very friendly, open and generous woman. She guides and helps you finding your way and supporting you in every way. She sees your needs and pushes you to discover new and different ways with a vast knowledge of how the art world works with all its artists.
She understands groups dynamics, is very patient and finds a way to make it work for everybody in the group.
For me she was a great support and gently nudged me in a direction I found for my art expression which I can continue to use in my future work, helped me with my publicity and how to get more out there.
Thank you Wendy for this wonderful residency.
I would like to thank Lauren Kearns, the owner of the studio. She organizes international artist residency exchange programs: the IARE. She helped and guided us in any way possible to make the residency a successful experience.
And then of course my fellow residents who deepened this experience with many knowledgeable conversations, helpful hints, tears and laughter!

During the weekend of March 7 and 8 we visited some museums in Marseille and Nice. Wendy organized that the curator Pierre-Nicolas Bounakoff showed us around the exhibition “Voyage, voyage” in the MUSEM of Marseille. Artist Charlotte Pringuey-Cessac showed us her works in the Terra Amata museum and her exhibition in the Mamac Museum in Nice. We did go to the MAEGHT Museum St. Paul de Vence: a modern art museum and sculpture garden.

A guest exhibition of Ra’anan Levy in the MAEGHT Museum. I liked it because of all the perspectives.
Borders, migration, mass tourism… these days, questions about travel, exile and getting from one place to another are recurring themes in the act of creating art. The exhibition “Voyage Voyages” invites us to feel the creative immensity that finds a natural home at the Mucem in Marseille and which, since it opened, has favoured a dialogue between cultures.
Like Max Ernst many artist find refuge along the French Riviera during the 2nd World War.
