Alberta Pane Gallery is pleased to present, from 16 September to 11 November, the first solo show in Venice by French artist Marie Lelouche (Saint-Junien, 1984).
Interested in the evolution of forms in their technical and cultural context, the artist works through a multidisciplinary approach and with a focus on remix practices.
Indeed, the abstract motifs that decorate the sculptures and carpet in Failed to Synchronize have a familiar yet ungraspable appearance; they evoke the impossibility of the memory to reconstruct the past, as well as the fleetingness of layering memories. A song created by the artist also accompanies the work and provide visitors with a multisensory experience, between individuality and universality.
The works in the Out of Spaces series, on the other hand, play on the concepts of the French words espèce (species) and espaces (outdoor and indoor spaces). The artist is fascinated by birds, creatures capable of filling the places they inhabit through the sounds they emit and that serve as reminders for human beings of the passing of time.

an apprenticeship training centre accredited by the French Ministry of Education
that opened in September 2022 in Marthon in the South-West region
just a few kilometres from Nontron and Montbron
The house’s artisan-trainers are responsible for passing on Hermes’ know-how and culture
these assessors train apprentices for the French CAP vocational qualification in leatherworking and saddlery

Insufficient knowledge or experience for flying in mountainous areas
Mountain flight has environment-related specificities
such as unusual visual references due to the loss of the natural horizon
complex and changing aerological conditions
Specific knowledge and skills are required to fly safely in this hostile and demanding environment
recalling good practice and points to watch out for
Similar occurrences for which reports were published in 2022:
It should be noted that these three accidents involved pilots affiliated to aero clubs or training organisations located near the accident site. This topic was already addressed in 2021
Eight people were fatally injured and one was seriously injured in the above-mentioned occurrences
In 2022, two reports showed the pilot’s determination to reach his/her destination. The accident to F-GFGO on 16 February 2020 at Creissels illustrates this safety topic with a flight in which the pilot lost control of the aeroplane in adverse weather conditions for visual flight
An occurrence on the same topic gave rise to a report published in 2022:
Five people were fatally injured in the two above-mentioned occurrences
The term loss of control is frequently used in reports
it is interesting to look at the flight phases in which they occurred
Except for losses of control during landing
the consequences of a loss of control are often severe
as the energy of the collision with the ground is high
3.1 Loss of control in aerobatic flight
It should be noted that for the latter accident
the investigation report addressed the topic of improvised manoeuvres and impaired judgment in the presence of third parties on the ground
Three people were fatally injured in the above-mentioned losses of control
3.2 Loss of control during initial climb
the pilot must manage the aircraft's flight path while being prepared for the unexpected
Discussing potential threats and solutions to deal with them
to quickly find the information needed for immediate action
The report concerning the accident to F-HRDM on 12 June 2021 in Wambrechies illustrates this topic
the pilot and instructor lost control of the aeroplane while performing a turnaround to return to the runway after a problem in the cabin during take-off
The report concerning the accident to N918SE on 28 September 2020 at Chevillotte deals with a go-around after an unstabilised approach in IFR flight
Occurrences on the same topic giving rise to reports published in 2022:
The accident to G-CLDO on 12 May 2019 at Montmorillon was the result of a loss of control after a rejected landing. This topic was also mentioned in the 2021 review
Another occurrence is the loss of control following a bird strike involving F-GNNE on 18 April 2021 at Saint Pathus
the report states that the aeroplane was probably very difficult to control after the collision with a great cormorant
Twelve people were fatally injured and one was seriously injured in the above-mentioned losses of control
3.3 Loss of control on the ground during take-off
the aeroplane is flying at a low height and low speed; the losses of control observed do not usually end in a head-on collision with the ground or an obstacle
although in rare cases people on board may be injured
The following reports illustrate this topic:
Solo flight is an essential part of pilot training
It allows the student pilot to implement all the skills and knowledge provided by her/his instructors
numerous conditions must all be met to let the student fly solo
In the report concerning the accident to G-CBGC on 2 November 2020 off Cannes aerodrome
the reader can find information concerning the supervision of solo flights carried out at night
Lastly, in the report concerning the accident to the electrical-powered aeroplane, F-HGAH on 30 June 2022 at Aix-les-Milles
the pilot indicated that she was surprised by the aeroplane’s behaviour when flying it with a low weight
once the instructor was no longer on board
On this topic, the DGAC (French civil aviation authority) has published a guide for instructors on the supervision of solo flights.
One person was fatally injured and one was injured in the above-mentioned occurrences
The accident to F-ORVY is a special case because it was not a solo flight authorised by the training organisation
and because the circumstances of the disappearance of the aeroplane and its pilot suggest that it might have been intentional
a topic concerning aeroplane maintenance and engine malfunctions was identified
pilots were confronted with a loss of power or even an engine shutdown
which forced them to make a forced landing or a ditching
On this subject, the report concerning the accident to F-HPMO on 5 September 2021 at Bedous can be consulted
the pilot was forced to land in a field because the engine was not providing power due to a faulty electrical supply resulting from inadequate maintenance
This problem had already been reported on a previous flight
The report concerning the accident to F-HFBR on 17 March 2021 at Pessac, particularly addresses the exceedance of the 50-hour inspection intervals (including in the time between overhaul (TBO) extension period) and the non-application of the manufacturer's recommendations in the event of a lengthy downtime.
Occurrences on the same subject giving rise to reports published in 2022:
There were no fatal accidents in the above-mentioned accidents.

Perrin Paris was known for glove collaborations with France’s earliest couturiers in the post-war boom
a time of stylish renaissance when no true lady would go without her very own
So what is Perrin’s advice on glove etiquette for Met-goers who might be wearing the pieces for the first time? “You must wear them while shaking hands with other guests and also while dancing, but they should be removed when you sit at the table for a meal,” she says. When it comes to the Champagne toast however, it seems that the white glove treatment is entirely optional. “They can be partially removed while drinking, but personally I prefer to keep them on.”
France's Limousin region is best known for its well-fed cows
But it is also home to a network of luxury craftsmen
it still takes Bernard three hours to finish sowing a seam
his gnarled hands working the thick leather with a stitching awl and cobbler's thread
For these shoes will retail for 1,400 euros (1,800 dollars) a pair
a monthly salary for someone starting out the cobbler trade
His employer is the high-end French shoemaker J.M.Weston
which manufactures 80 percent of its shoes in the central city of Limoges
Bernard is one of some 860 people employed by the luxury craft sector in the Limousin
which together generates an annual turnover of 97 million euros
with the aim of nurturing in-house know-how
based in the Limousin town of Saint-Junien
great-granddaughter of the house's founder
and part of a family glove-making tradition dating back to the 11th century
Gregoire's mother Josie Leroyer set the firm on its present course in the late 1960s
when she convinced the French fashion house Dior to entrust it with making its gloves
and "reintroducing the basics of the profession: excellence
expertise and in-house skills," said her workshop head Joelle Talbot
"She realised what unique know-how was about to be lost," said Talbot
Its 20 seamstresses produce some 120,000 pairs of gloves each year
with complete mastery of the 30-odd steps in the production process
the C 2000 dressmaker is one of the only French firms specializing in an haute couture sewing technique for fluid garments
Its general manager Bernard Blaizeau is well aware of the need to nurture the expertise of his 32 seamstresses
whose wages account for the bulk of production costs
Ensuring their skills are handed down to the next generation is a prime concern
"We systematically replace people upon retirement
and each new recruit is mentored by the person they will succeed for two or three years before the handover," Blaizeau explained
who teaches her the ropes of haute couture
Along with the Paris area and the Rhones-Alpes region around Lyon
Limousin is one of the three French regions with the highest number of traditional craft-based companies
what France describes as "living heritage" firms
regional authorities are currently setting up a Limousin luxury label
with the aim of linking up its artisans and promoting their skills
"We need to export towards emerging markets with strong potential and financial capacity," argued the head of the Limousin Regional Council Jean-Pierre Denanot
"Going international is crucial to keeping our crafts alive," agreed Blaizeau
who hopes local firms can learn from the example of J.M.Weston
The regional chamber of commerce has already created an association "Luxury and excellence in Limousin"
that brings together 13 firms at the very top end of the market
Some have already moved with success into Russia
said the chamber's head Jean-Pierre Limousin

German authorities said on Monday they had raided the homes of six men suspected of taking part in a Nazi massacre of 642 mainly women and children in a French village in 1944
carried out in recent weeks in cities across Germany
believed to have been part of a Waffen-SS unit called “Der Fuehrer.”
have “either denied their participation in the massacre or were not fit for questioning
