Text description provided by the architects. The surrounding context is significant for the evolution of the urban fabric. We observe a transition from individual morphology to collective housing. The project proposes to extend the pedestrian path from Chemin des Gourettes to the mall, thus creating a connection with the east of the city. This passage allows the preservation of the small existing watercourse. The adjoining plot is treated as a landscaped space by the creation of allotment gardens in direct connection with the mall, making it possible to enrich it with social life and create a shared space for residents. In line with the neighboring project, "les Passantes," the project is distributed by exterior walkways, which once again create a place for social life as a direct extension of the housing and in connection with the landscape. well-ventilated home already constitutes a good basis for meeting the challenges of sustainable development The thickness of the buildings being 11.60m all the accommodation is through and therefore benefits from good ventilation an additional living space in the accommodation protected by screens which manage the summer comfort and privacy of the

JeffreysPartnership with Dragon Hill24 February 2025artreview.com The sixth Dragon Hill X ArtReview Writers Residency considers waterways as metaphors for connection as well as for the flows of power and money ‘entangles our bodies in relations of gift I spent four weeks at Dragon Hill artist residency in the French Riviera gazed out over the Mediterranean and wrote It had been drained to reveal its flat concrete bottom human-made waterways invariably entail forms of movement other than those they intend At a conference presentation to accompany her film Creatures of the Lines (2021) artist Sonia Levy described how the opening of Egypt’s Suez Canal in 1869 impacted sea levels and enabled largescale migration of creatures such as fish molluscs and parasitic crustaceans from the Red Sea into the Mediterranean Another unanticipated intrusion: in 1956 Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser’s nationalisation of the Suez Canal prompted Britain and France to join Israel’s full-scale invasion Levy’s screening and presentation were part of ‘Waterways: Arteries a three-day conference at Tate Modern in October 2024 presentations and panel discussions that forged connections through water across time and place when curator Nabila Abdel Nabi promised a programme that would speak “from rivers to seas” amid conversations about colonial extraction racist nationalisms and ecological collapse Israel’s then and ongoing genocide of Palestinians would never be far from our minds This was most explicit through a searingly brilliant collective-singing workshop led by sound artist Bint Mbareh The workshop took place in a glass-walled room that overlooked the Thames from the top floor of Tate’s Natalie Bell Building speaking to the complex and violent interconnectedness of water and money and power and death laughed and listened and screamed together – many voices all lapping over each other and resonating through our bodies “The Thames remembers / washes in rather than washing away / washes in Blavatnik’s name / with the blood of my cousin / BLAVATNIK!” all of the gathered participants in unison ‘Waterways’ also sensitively made space for moments of relaxation and joy artist Léuli Eshrāghi conceived of water not only as a carrier of history but also something cleansing and revitalising where the third day of the conference took place Taey Iohe led a slow walk of connection and embodied grief while Jumana Emil Abboud encouraged us to build new collective stories out of our own individual recollections Blavatnik was accused in an editorial published by Israeli newspaper Haaretz of censoring that country’s Channel 13 broadcaster in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu With Bint Mbareh’s text connecting multiple waterways our performance of it forged connections between multiple bodies and voices to emphasise communality as a form of resistance Throughout 2024 I was one of many people involved in campaigning to end the cultural sector’s complicity in the genocide of Palestinians but one that was also shaped by the rich textures of collective organising Since October 2023 I’ve found myself crying at all the wrong moments Bint Mbareh’s work spoke to all of this at once At a time when marginalised people are abused by politicians and racist rightwing media for speaking out for Palestine this work opened a space to grieve and rage together and precisely in doing so as a group it made it safe for everyone sometimes it is setting individuality aside that enables us to find our voice as I read and reread lines from Bint Mbareh’s poem I tried to think through these connections between water and life Bint Mbareh reminded me: the objects that wash up on its shores can be surprisingly well preserved returning again and again to the same places it is this: however much money people spend to put their names on art galleries continually sounding the truth out loud together Tom Jeffreys is a writer and editor based in Edinburgh The

people’s health and the environment Project leaders aim to transfer good practices from Mouans-Sartoux in France’s Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region The dynamic created in the network pushed the partner cities to adopt a global approach by including new aspects they weren't working on BioCanteens created a dynamic which will hopefully continue in each of the cities has been able to reduce food waste in participating schools by around 80 % from approximately 150 g to 30 g per plate This compensates for the cost of switching to organic products The accompanying educational activities raise children’s awareness of sustainable food a municipal farm was built from scratch to provide canteens with local social canteens have improved accessibility to high-quality meals for disadvantaged groups Partner cities have improved their public procurement processes developed educational activities for children and increased their share of organic products the project’s wider vision is to create a resilient reduce food waste and reinforce both offer of and demand for organic products in partner cities in Belgium The good practices demonstrated in Mouans-Sartoux can be easily applied in partner cities and elsewhere to increase the quality of meals served and to facilitate kitchen management They are implemented at various stages of the catering process These practices can be used to help kitchen staff devise alternative menus and adapt portion sizes during food planning and preparation Coaching during mealtimes can help educate children and food waste can be sorted and measured after meals project leaders organised a three-day transnational meeting dedicated to good practices for project coordinators and school chefs This involved a collective cooking session in one of Mouans-Sartoux’s school canteens in which partners were placed into teams and cooked meals embodying partners’ local culture The purpose was to create bonds during a fun exchange between professionals and to demonstrate the importance of actively involving kitchen staff if the initiative is to be effective and sustainable The project was implemented as part of Urbact the European Territorial Cooperation programme that aims to foster sustainable integrated urban development in cities across Europe It uses resources and know-how to strengthen cities’ capacity to make improvements in four areas: governance Total investment for the project “BioCanteens” is EUR 600 000 with the EU’s European Regional Development Fund contributing EUR 458 723 through the “URBACT”

your inbox the European Union is due to review this blacklist it may want to take note of a prominent individual who A joint investigation by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and the French Le Monde reveals the extent to which one of Russia’s most infamous oligarchs — Putin’s childhood friend Boris Rotenberg — is entrenched in the French Riviera Arkady Rotenberg, Boris’s even wealthier older brother, was one of those sanctioned by the EU in 2014 losing his extensive Italian properties and the right to travel to Europe But — supposedly thanks to the Finnish citizenship he obtained through an earlier marriage — Boris himself was left off the list enabling him to continue enjoying his French assets Boris Rotenberg in the French Riviera OCCRP)These include a previously unknown multi-million-euro property containing two large villas — and plans for a third — in the picturesque seaside municipality of Eze Rotenberg also makes use of another estate in nearby Mouans-Sartoux is held through an opaque ownership structure that involves a company based in Monaco registered at the same address in Mouans Sartoux also belongs to the oligarch and his young wife Karina These European assets highlight the degree to which oligarchic Russian wealth has entrenched itself into some of Europe’s most desirable destinations With respective fortunes estimated at US$ 1.2 and $3.1 billion Boris and Arkady Rotenberg have come a long way from the chain of gas stations they ran during Russia’s period of cowboy capitalism in the 90’s Boris Rotenberg Wikimedia Commons.)The Rotenbergs’ relationship with president Putin was almost certainly a crucial factor in their rapid success The friendship goes back to the men’s childhoods when they practiced judo together in what was then still called Leningrad the Rotenbergs became part of his inner circle That’s what jump-started their rise to the top But the Rotenbergs’ main gains have come from government contracting Arkady purchased five construction and maintenance companies from Gazprom He merged these into Russia’s leading construction group in the oil and gas sector which since then has been among Gazprom’s key contractors winning many lucrative deals while avoiding competitive tenders Multiple cost overruns in these projects have profited the Rotenbergs while hurting Russian taxpayers. In a 2017 New Yorker article explains that Gazprom has “switched from a principle of maximizing shareholder profits to one of maximizing contractor profits.” Indeed, SGM Group reported earnings of nearly $4.6 billion in 2015 The Rotenbergs have made billions elsewhere, too. According to the US Treasury their friendship with Putin netted them construction contracts worth more than $7 billion for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi The elder Rotenberg also won a major tender to build a new bridge between the Russian mainland and the newly-annexed Crimean peninsula (work continues on the project to this day) The success of Arkady Rotenberg is reflected in his regular appearance in Forbes’ “Kings of the State Order” lists which rank Russian businessmen by the total value of state contracts they’ve won Foreign sanctions struck the Rotenbergs in 2014 sanctioning both brothers personally and then blacklisting their major companies The EU instituted its own sanctions — but just on Arkady Rotenberg — that July. Around €30 million of his assets, including an upscale hotel in Rome and two villas in Sardinia, were seized by Italian authorities in September 2014 a Monaco-based endurance motor racing program called SMP Racing trains its competitors in the French city of Le Luc the Russian oligarch owns a 2.7-hectare property Rotenberg’s getaway was valued at €25 million by Societe Generale Located on the French Riviera between the cities of Nice and Monaco Eze is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and impressive sea views The municipality is just a 30-minute drive from the St a vestige of Tsarist Russia built in the early 20th century Rotenberg’s property boasts a swimming pool and two villas that total 1300 square meters in size municipal records show that Rotenberg had big plans for expansion he obtained authorization to add a large third villa to the property construction of the third villa began in 2009 and then restarted this January after being reauthorized in February 2015 according to the local construction company neither Rotenberg nor his wife Karina have been seen at the house in nearly a decade the construction at the estate has been supervised by the couple’s assistant a Ukrainian-born French citizen named Sergiy Pavlenko Pavlenko was at one point registered as director of SMP Racing France (a subsidiary of the SMP Racing in Monaco France’s national address book lists Pavlenko as registered at the Eze home a French Riviera town near which the Rotenbergs also have a significant presence Just across the street from Pavlenko’s home in Grasse in the neighboring municipality of Mouans-Sartoux lies Boris and Karina Rotenberg’s other French estate — a secluded property roughly 29 hectares in size with the initials “K B R” monogrammed on the gates Boris Rotenberg’s property in Mouans-Sartoux is concealed on all sides by walls and protected by cameras and floodlights stationed at regular intervals It stands out both for its enormous size and for its secretive atmosphere in otherwise modest surroundings In a 2016 interview with Tatler Karina Rotenberg described the role the estate (which she calls their “dacha,” or country house) plays in her and her husband’s lives explaining that they split their time between Russia and nearby Monaco But according to municipal records examined by reporters the ownership status of the Mouans-Sartoux estate has been rendered opaque by its foreign holding company The estate is owned by a real estate firm called Tannor 2 that is registered in Monaco a jurisdiction that forbids the disclosure of shareholders though the property appears to belong to the Rotenbergs it is impossible to determine its ownership conclusively Boris Rotenberg did not respond to requests for comment for this story but rather rent it from an undisclosed landlord being an avid participant in European equestrian competitions as it is too expensive to transport them from Russia reporters learned that Tannor 2 shares its Monaco registration address with Getad Luxembourg’s honorary consul in the country That connection appears to be more than a coincidence: Lecourt appeared in Mouans-Sartoux in 2014 to apply for permission to begin a new round of construction on the Rotenbergs’ estate Lecourt declined to comment on his relationship with the Rotenbergs only confirming that Getad provides Monaco addresses for companies wishing to register there Another Rotenberg connection to the Mouans-Sartoux estate also concerns Karina Rotenberg’s passion for horses a French company called Societe Civile d’Exploitation Agricole des Canebiers (SCEA des Canebiers) which claims in its official filings to be involved in horse breeding and trading The company is believed to be owned by the Rotenbergs Yet its ownership is not exactly straightforward One percent of shares in SCEA des Canebiers belongs to a Luxembourg-based lawyer named Michael Dandois who appears to have made a business of creating obscure corporate structures the firm at the heart of the Panama Papers leak which is owned by Boris and Karina Rotenberg the couple employed Dandois as a director of the company in 2013 Michael Dandois refused to comment on the arrangement or on the reasons behind it Boris’s wife Karina Rotenberg was once the director of SCEA des Canebiers herself two months before Boris Rotenberg was sanctioned by the US the couple’s Ukrainian-born assistant and sometime property manager Pavlenko was also named director of SMP Racing France a position he held until the company closed in April 2017 Offshore holding structures of the type used by the Rotenbergs can offer certain benefits Beyond ensuring confidentiality through opacity the tactic of registering a real estate company in Monaco could be part of a tax savings or avoidance strategy “If there is a complex chain of interlocking offshore companies there is a fair chance that the French tax authorities won't find the true beneficial owner and will just stop their research — especially when companies use proxies So there might be a strategy of avoidance of the special wealth tax in this case,” said a French tax lawyer who asked not to be named One possible reason to register a company at a French address held by a Monaco-based firm may be to generate false expenses that could be declared as an offset against taxation the owner would rent the land from the Monaco company through the French company which would then declare the rental payments as a cost of doing business entitling it to claim them against taxes owed to the French state The expenses would then count as revenue for the entity in Monaco taking them out of French jurisdiction and safeguarding them against French taxation If the intention behind these corporate arrangements is to purposefully obscure Boris and Karina’s finances it would not be the first time a Rotenberg’s attempt to hide assets has come to light a dataset of 100,000 offshore entities released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) revealed that some of their money had been channeled out of Russia into companies registered in the British Virgin Islands — three connected to Arkady and three to Boris Despite his close relationship to the Russian president and the fantastic wealth he has earned — partly the result of a major Crimean infrastructure project — Boris has retained the full enjoyment of his French investments Forbes reported that it was his previous marriage to a Finnish woman — and thus his Finnish citizenship — that has enabled Boris Rotenberg to avoid being subject to the sanctions that were applied to his brother in a statement given to Finnish news agency STT in March 2014 Finland’s then prime minister Jyrki Katainen said that Finnish citizens were not automatically protected from such sanctions The true reason for Boris’s lucky exemption and why he is allowed to continue to do business in Europe When asked whether Boris Rotenberg faces any potential risks due to his ownership of property in France -- given the high-profile arrest last November of Russian oligarch Suleyman Kerimov in connection with his luxury properties in the country -- a person close to the oligarch replied “they’ve lived under these circumstances since 2014 Every avenue which could have been closed to them has already been closed

they were essays Pierre Le Guennec began worrying about what might happen with the works after his death He contacted the administration of the Picasso heirs in Paris and arrived with the suitcase The Picasso family dismissed as utterly ridiculous the notion that the painter would ever have given away such an enormous range of work and without signing or dating it A drawing of a horse by Picasso Photograph: APAlthough the couple were found guilty of possessing stolen goods the case did not establish who was responsible for the theft The Picasso heirs’ lawyer had suggested in court that the couple might have been manipulated by an art smuggling ring he had personally used books about Picasso to draw up an inventory that was found with the cache of 180 lithographs lawyers cast doubt over whether he wrote the inventory himself It contained a note about a similarity to a Picasso work at New York’s Museum of Modern Art Pierre Le Guennec seemed not to have ever heard of MoMA A painting of a hand by Picasso Pierre Le Guennec said: “We’re disappointed.” His wife added: “We’re honest people Maybe we don’t know how to speak … We’re little people Their lawyer could appeal against the verdict The works have been seized by authorities and will be returned to the Picasso Administration There has been no value placed on the collection but it is thought to be worth at least €60m (£43.5m) You don't have permission to access the page you requested What is this page?The website you are visiting is protected.For security reasons this page cannot be displayed In response to Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Crimea the European Union banned more than 100 Russian officials and businessmen from entering its territory and froze their European assets The move was meant to punish well-connected Russians who have profited from their country’s aggression against Ukraine and the French Le Monde reveals the extent to which one of Russia’s most infamous oligarchs — Putin’s childhood friend Boris Rotenberg — is entrenched in the French Riviera Arkady Rotenberg, Boris’s even wealthier older brother, was one of those sanctioned by the EU in 2014 But — supposedly thanks to the Finnish citizenship he obtained through an earlier marriage — Boris himself was left off the list These include a previously unknown multi-million-euro property containing two large villas — and plans for a third — in the picturesque seaside municipality of Eze oligarchic Russian wealth has entrenched itself into some of Europe’s most desirable destinations Boris and Arkady Rotenberg have come a long way from the chain of gas stations they ran during Russia’s period of cowboy capitalism in the 90’s The Rotenbergs’ relationship with president Putin was almost certainly a crucial factor in their rapid success The friendship goes back to the men’s childhoods That’s what jump-started their rise to the top But the Rotenbergs’ main gains have come from government contracting He merged these into Russia’s leading construction group in the oil and gas sector which since then has been among Gazprom’s key contractors winning many lucrative deals while avoiding competitive tenders Multiple cost overruns in these projects have profited the Rotenbergs while hurting Russian taxpayers. In a 2017 New Yorker article explains that Gazprom has “switched from a principle of maximizing shareholder profits to one of maximizing contractor profits.” Indeed, SGM Group reported earnings of nearly $4.6 billion in 2015 The Rotenbergs have made billions elsewhere, too. According to the US Treasury The success of Arkady Rotenberg is reflected in his regular appearance in Forbes’ “Kings of the State Order” lists which rank Russian businessmen by the total value of state contracts they’ve won The EU instituted its own sanctions — but just on Arkady Rotenberg — that July. Around €30 million of his assets, including an upscale hotel in Rome and two villas in Sardinia, were seized by Italian authorities in September 2014 Rotenberg’s getaway was valued at €25 million by Societe Generale Rotenberg’s property boasts a swimming pool the construction at the estate has been supervised by the couple’s assistant France’s national address book lists Pavlenko as registered at the Eze home Just across the street from Pavlenko’s home in Grasse lies Boris and Karina Rotenberg’s other French estate — a secluded property roughly 29 hectares in size with the initials “K B R” monogrammed on the gates In a 2016 interview with Tatler Karina Rotenberg described the role the estate (which she calls their “dacha,” or country house) plays in her and her husband’s lives Luxembourg’s honorary consul in the country That connection appears to be more than a coincidence: Lecourt appeared in Mouans-Sartoux in 2014 to apply for permission to begin a new round of construction on the Rotenbergs’ estate read more View upcoming auction estimates and receive personalized email alerts for the artists you follow. « Le Clos » villa is a life project: living your retirement from the calm and gentleness of the Mediterranean hinterland. The project is enshrined to its physical and cultural surroundings. Adapting to the local climate has a strong impact on the project, as evidenced by constant reminders of the Mediterranean region’s particularities: minerality, simplicity of forms, the patio and the right size of the openings. The initial shape of the project results from a set of simple and monolithic volumes emerging from the ground. Each block responds to a residential use by its height and its place in the system. These distinct entities generate a central patio where all the daily practices are articulated, it is the heart of the project.

It creates a shaded cool area deeply appreciated in summer, and enables a comprehensive ventilation of all surrounding spaces. Courtesy of Bancaù AchitectesBecause living along the Méditerranée means living outside a lot, the interior is designed as a prolongation of the outdoor spaces and garden. The landscape appears in a various amount of framing. In contrast to the overexposed exterior, the atmosphere of the living spaces needs to be subdued. The local-centered approach of the project naturally led us to opt for natural materials such as oak wood joinery, mineral terrazzo floors and lime coatings.

An emblematic material of our very limestone region and its history, the stone intertwines the project and its environment, it creates temperature inertia, natural humidity and remains infinitely recyclable. it requires little watering and is heat resistant Tom DenmanPartnership with Dragon Hill19 August 2024artreview.com The second Dragon Hill X ArtReview Writers Residency text discusses abstraction in the context of work by Anthony Akinbola the three artists on the Dragon Hill residency with the author Over the course of 2024, six art and culture writers selected by ArtReview have been joining groups of visual artists selected by London’s Unit gallery on a residency at Dragon Hill in Mougins designed and built in 1964 by Jacques Couëlle is set in a private domain that has counted Pablo Picasso Yves Saint Laurent and Leo Castelli among its residents Some of the writers on this residency have written previously for ArtReview others have not; some of the artists are represented by Unit lived at Dragon Hill in June and early July He has written a text on abstract painting by Black artists the three artists on the Dragon Hill residency during his time there We’re in a garden overlooking the hills of Mouans-Sartoux about ten kilometres north of Cannes – abstracted from the ‘real world’ – and we’re talking about abstraction raised by the three artists I’m sharing this residency with is the institutional and market demand on Black artists in the US to enact legibly Black tropes with gatekeepers hellbent on promoting the racial content of artworks cracks up at the assumption that the title of his fabric work Jubilee (2021) intentionally refers to the Emancipation Proclamation – an assumption made by the online voice description attending its inclusion in By Way Of: Material and Motion in the Guggenheim Collection as things are when authority is so off the mark but there is something worryingly reductive about overriding the very subjectivity that inclusivity is meant to bring my responsibility as a white person comes to the fore) when I’m seeking out the ‘critique’ in art I’m not forcing it to assimilate to my idea of what makes it good If abstraction – as Ad Reinhardt argued during the 1940s – puts the viewer inclined to interpretation in the position of creator perhaps it’s incumbent on the critic not to prevail on an artwork to fill a certain political bracket And so I set myself the task of considering how the three artists here – Akinbola Patrick Alston and Ludovic Nkoth – have utilised abstraction to joust with hegemonic pressure to be Black on a white viewer’s terms Alston makes his presence felt without opening it up to racial categorisation; the liberation associated with gestural forms gains undeclared political meaning Alston has been working mainly on two paintings slowly churning suspensions of crosshatched whirling marks that decelerate the fleetingness of preverbal emotion; the preverbal as prepolitical which is not to say that Alston’s practice is one of pseudo-utopian escape his layering and blending of marks seem to carry out the palimpsestic perpetual (because it’s perpetually thwarted) practice of sustaining a prelapsarian world I wondered if my Edenic surroundings wouldn’t desensitise me to the harshness of life but maintaining such indifference would be like meditating indefinitely without a single intrusive thought It seems to me that the labour in Alston’s work – which is often evocative of a beautiful garden his work on the Jenkins Johnson Gallery stand at Art Basel this year even referencing Monet – is up against an equally inevitable rupture of innocence Events occurring on a not-so-distant shore prompt me to read an excerpt from the Palestinian theorist Edward Said’s Reflections on Exile (1984) in which he introduces the term ‘contrapuntal’ to define an awareness of existing in ‘simultaneous dimensions’ I think something similar to counterpoint is at play in the work of the artists I’m conversing with I’ve been talking to Akinbola about the road though the project is still in embryo – abstracting the phenomenology of driving The artist’s commitment to the road’s marks and materiality poses a conceptual challenge not to veer into signification (of a Black man driving in the US) Is it possible for the works to be just about the road with the work’s point of conflict being the gravitational tug between the two dimensions I think about some of Akinbola’s developed work along similar lines Much of it starts off with the politically charged material of the durag which he then stretches across frames in crisscrossing striations or Sean Scully-like stripes In these works – three of which he has made here – he tests the extent to which an emblem of American Blackness can be only form In the local supermarket I keep seeing Moor’s heads: on wine bottles The silhouetted profile appears on the flag of the neighbouring island of Corsica I discover; I’m wondering whether such heraldry isn’t ancestrally ingrained in racial profiling whether police mugshots – of Black people – haven’t something of the war trophy about them Nkoth has been continuing his experiment with grids each square a slightly different dark tone Although Nkoth’s work is technically figurative writhing brushstrokes abstract his subjects in real time and although the mugshot served as an early point of reference for this series dismantling the grid’s unity as the paint continues to swirl and figures trespass into neighbouring cells Nkoth’s figures enact the work of slipping away from easy profiling work that – like Alston’s effort to sustain bliss – is ongoing and unfinished Beyond its connotations of systemic oppression the profile pertains also to criticism: the ‘profile treatment’ implying the encapsulation of a single artist’s output To a certain degree it is inevitable that language will contain what it seeks to describe the challenge of respecting its indeterminacy rather than reining it in to suit an agenda – especially when postimperial asymmetries are involved – becomes all the more vital even if the result is bound to be imperfect One subtext here is Martinican theorist Édouard Glissant’s call for opacity More than a matter of being difficult or impossible to decipher opacity calls on the responsibility of everyone not to reduce people to a code in paradise or wherever – you don’t need to conceptualise them Tom JeffreysPartnership with Dragon Hill View upcoming auction estimates and receive personalized email alerts for the artists you follow Marc Lewis films have neither beginning nor end and often circumscribe ordinary urban spaces framing and camera movements give these places an intensity and strangeness dimension which switch the relationship between identity of what we see and the perception we have of it Ligne de Force exhibition from December 11 Marc Lewis exhibition from December 11 to March 16 Opening hours: Wednesday to Sunday from 13h to 18h www.espacedelartconcret.fr and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
