The Inside Out Project
« Poetry is everywhere, it tells about our time, the world, the real, stronger » Ernest Pignon Ernest
The era is not about the artistic, stylistic, generational partitioning like in the precedent decades. The artistic abundance, its extraordinary heterogeneity in terms of style, ambition as well as the coexistence on the same project of artists who differ in languages or expressions contributes to free the artistic and cultural fields from apprehension.
INSIDE OUT Project, Inside Out is a worldwide project allowing personal messages to become artworks
The largest open-air gallery starting from the ST Roch Chapel (information point) to the media library for the large format but also the more intimate small formats in the old center of Robion.
On its walls Robion displays its history, the poetry of the faces interprets each story.
Teaming up with the Inside Out project for the 10th anniversary of the Poet's Spring, the town and its "words transmitters" decide to lead a group action to carry their case on a big scale : Poetry for everyone !
Portraits from Robion's inhabitants will be printed and displayed on the town's streets on a determined path which will link portraits and poems to create an innovative presence and promote change to start a "plastic/visual" and poetic conversation
This action, completed by stories displayed for the whole world on the Inside Out platform, aims to change the world through art.
On the 2nd of March 2011 the artist JR won the TED price in Long Beach, CA.
For the occasion he launches a global and participatory project with the goal to "change the world".
The project is called Inside Out
from the large formats that JR creates in the street, Inside Out gives anyone the opportunity to share his portrait and to carry a message which matters to him.
It is a global platform which allows anyone to share his story and to transform a personal message into a public artwork.
Each action of the Inside Out group around the world is documented, archived and published on the Internet.
More than 260 000 people have already played a role in the project in 129 countries.

At the end of the Poet's Spring, Robion's walls and stones will go silent again. This is a good way for us to remember that art do not always call for eternity.
