The aim of landskating, anywhere is to demonstrate and acknowledge the cultural and artistic dimension of skateboarding. The idea is to appreciate the role of the skateboarder as a shifter of urban reality, revealing concealed spaces, gaps and surfaces. More than just a sport, skateboarding is an art of movement and an urban passion. There are many examples where the skateboarder defies extreme situations, in astounding settings. These moments are filmed and photographed, highlighting the landscape.
The exhibition begins with a film by artist and skateboarder Raphaël Zarka, who takes us into the skateboarder’s world. It looks back at the history of skateboarding, using archives including original documents lent by skateboarders. It presents skateparks around the world, and focuses on some thirty skateparks en France via models, drawings, and the work of photographers. Modules created by skateboarders in Bordeaux have been skated on in situ and installed in the exhibition.
By partnering with key figures on the exceptionally rich Bordeaux skateboarding scene,
arc en rêve wishes to bring the project alive beyond its walls. Events will provide opportunities to discuss contemporary ways of freely using the city—some consensual, some less so.
