In 2014, I was invited by Didier Lamand\u00e9 to conceive an exhibition in \u00abtwo halves\u00bb at the Galerie du Dourven, C\u00f4tes d\u2019Armor. The gallery is situated in the middle of a large park. I wanted to imagine my exhibition as a crossroads for all the people who used the park. One of the groups of people that I had identified were the swimmers and sunbathers. Effectively, a steep path led down through some dense shrubland to a small beach and then the sea. It was obvious to me that during a long summer’s day quite a few folk would get caught short and certain would feel the need to deposit a small quantity of unwanted physical matter behind one of the bushes. I decided to offer these poor people another option. I set about converting Rietveld’s design for the \u00abHighback\u00bb or \u00abHoge Stoel\u00bb chair into chamber pot.<\/div>\n

A couple of weeks later I was back at the Itin\u00e9raires Bis workshop for another intensive woodworking session with Jean-Luc Rault.<\/div>\n
