Peintre, sculpteur, graveur et dessinateur, Julien Marinetti est un artiste qui s’est fait connaître en fusionnant la sculpture et la peinture, qu'il appelle "syncrétisme de l'art". Ses sculptures en terre, comme les bouledogues, pandas, pingouins et crânes, ont été ensuite transformées en bronze. Depuis 15 ans, son oeuvre phare, Doggy John, est devenue une icône et est exposée dans des villes prestigieuses à travers le monde, comme Paris, New York, Londres et Singapour, pour le plus grand plaisir des spectateurs.

Si l’influence cubiste de Picasso se ressent dans son travail, puisqu’il représente une de ses inspirations majeures, Marinetti mélange les styles pour un résultat unique, particulièrement palpable dans ses sculptures d’animaux géantes et colorées. Chat, chien, panda, et même Casimir, ces drôles de bêtes à l’apparence arc-en-ciel portent un nom tout aussi singulier, les Juliengoths, comme une sorte de descendance imaginaire de Julien Marinetti.

DOGGY JOHN – Nous retrouvons la pièce iconique de l’artiste, sphinx des temps modernes contemplant le monde. Sous la forme d’un bouledogue français, représentant amour, protection et loyauté à son maître, se cache un regard acerbe et sans concession sur ses contemporains. C’est en 1998 que l’artiste imagine son célèbre Doggy John, en huile sur toile d’abord avant de s’affranchir des dimensions de la peinture pour prendre les formes rondes que lui offre la sculpture. Julien Marinetti donnera naissance à ce qu’il appellera ensuite le « syncrétisme de l’Art » à la fois peinture, gravure et sculpture. « Le chien est le catalyseur de mon syncrétisme de l’art, c’est-à-dire de sa totalité. Ce que je fais est bien du syncrétisme puisqu’il y a bien de la peinture, de la sculpture et de la gravure. Il y a aussi des vernis, des laques : je touche à pas mal de choses qui n’ont normalement rien à voir les unes avec les autres. » Julien Marinetti aime à penser aux moines copistes du Moyen Age, dont les palimpsestes nécessitaient eux aussi qu’ils reconditionnent le support original en grattant d’anciens parchemins.
"In textual studies, a palimpsest is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off so that the page can be reused for another document. "

The Greek Revival-style Bragg-Mitchell Mansion, built in 1855, is one of the most photographed buildings in Mobile, Alabama. Judge John Bragg built the mansion for his wife to enjoy during the Mobile social season – Thanksgiving through Mardi Gras. The home’s massive double parlors, sweeping circular staircase, and grand rooms encapsulate the height of Southern social entertaining.
The stately mansion sits under a canopy of century-old oaks draped in Spanish moss, though during the Civil War, they cut down all the live oak trees and put canons on the front lawn to help defend against any approaching Union troops. During this time, Bragg was so concerned about Union troops attacking his mansion that he moved all the furniture to his plantation outside Montgomery.
Ironically, that plantation was burned down in Wilson’s Raid, and Mobile never became the battleground it was expected to be, leaving the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion to become the city icon it is today.

Tweedsmuir Provincial Park – South is one of the largest of B.C.’s several hundred parks. Located in the west-central region of the province, 480 km northwest of Vancouver as the crow flies, Tweedsmuir is roughly triangular in shape. It is bounded on the north and northwest by the Ootsa-Whitesail Lakes reservoir, on the west and southwest by the Coast Mountains, and on the east by the Interior Plateau.
Aside from offering some of the most spectacular scenery in North America, Tweedsmuir is a magnet for outdoor recreationists.

This area has been used for thousands of years by the Nuxalk (Bella Coola) people of the coast and the Tsihquot'in people of the interior, who have depended on the abundant salmon in its rivers. Historic trails, which were once used by explorers and surveyors to transport fur and gold to the Pacific, now form the basis of the park's network of hiking and horse-packing routes. The most famous trail is the Alexander Mackenzie Trail, used by Mackenzie as he passed through this area in 1793, en route in his historic journey to be the first European to reach the Pacific overland.
Tweedsmuir Park was established May 21, 1938. The park was named after the 15th Governor General of Canada, John Buchan, Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield. The Governor General travelled extensively throughout the park in the early 1900's and in the foreword to his book he wrote "I have now travelled over most of Canada and have seen many wonderful things, but I have seen nothing more beautiful and more wonderful than the great park which British Columbia has done me the honor to call by my name."
What is an Architectural Palimpsest,

something that has changed over time and shows physical evidence of that change.
2. An object or area that has extensive evidence of or layers showing activity or use.

Tonto Natural Bridge is a natural arch in Arizona, United States, that is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. The area surrounding the bridge has been made into a state park called Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, which is located off State Route 87, just 10 miles (16 km) north of Payson. Tonto Natural Bridge stands over a 400-foot-long (120 m) tunnel that measures 150 feet (46 m) at its widest point and reaches a height of 183 feet (56 m).
This natural bridge was first documented by David Gowan, a Scotsman, in 1877 while hiding from hostile Apache tribe members. Gowan was impressed by the location and persuaded his family to emigrate and live there. Gowan also tried to claim the land for himself under squatter's rights. David Gowan died in January 1926. When deputy sheriff Jim Kline on his regular two week's visit, couldn't locate Gowan at his little cabin, he looked around and secured the help of a posse, which found David's body in Deer Creek. The remains were buried just where they were found beside the creek.
Gowan family members lived near the bridge until 1948. Their lodge building survives to this day and is included in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1948, Glen L. Randall, a native of Pine, Arizona, purchased the Tonto Natural Bridge, the Lodge including 160 acres surrounding the natural wonder with his father Walter Randall and a brother owning a portion of it also. After Randall's death in 1967, his wife Eloise Kleinman Randall sold the property and it eventually was made into a State Park (Wikipedia).
-Mixed media: Acrylic, linen, graphite, gunpowder and blood on canvas-
40”x40”
My friend Ellen was dying of cancer. So I made her this. A benefit to defray her medical costs. A palimpsest with gunpowder and fading text expressing our years of misadventures and absurdity. A fire for her life. Her danger and passion.
The disease claimed her eventually but this remains along with memory.
“A palimpsest is work that fades to make room for something new - Stories pass into memory to offer space for fresh adventures. Fire consumes so that beauty springs forth from ashes… and health vanquishes disease in a forced erasure to give way for renewed life.
Created with multiple layers of various gunpowders, each having their own unique qualities, they were ignited on the canvas itself in numerous stages in a process that can only be guided by the artist but never controlled. Gunpowder as a medium speaks with its own voice always and leaves its traces where it alone chooses. The process then shifted to one of contrasting delicateness. Prose nearly obfuscated by paint, is rendered barely discernible throughout the work and requiring its audience into an intimate physical closeness in which to discern the words themselves. And what can be perceived from the fragmentation of the text is a dream-like narrative that evokes a journey - a community and a history of which his friend has been inextricably a part of for many years. In doing so, the work evokes our own universal longing to be part of larger narrative that we write with our lives, or hope to.
The 3,500-acre Codorus State Park is in the rolling hills of southern York County.
The 1,275-acre Lake Marburg has 26 miles of shoreline and is a rest stop for migrating waterfowl and shorebirds. The lake is also popular with sail and motor boaters.
Anglers love the lake for warmwater fishing and can also fish Codorus Creek for trout.
Picnicking, swimming in the pool, and camping are popular activities.

CODORUS STATE PARK
2600 Smith Station Road
Hanover, Pennsylvania 17331
The 3,329-acre Codorus State Park is in the southwest corner of York County, about three miles southeast of Hanover, Pennsylvania, along PA 216. A prime attraction of the park is the 1,275-acre Lake Marburg, which has 26 miles of shoreline.
History of the Area
The impoundment of Codorus Creek is the result of a cooperative project between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the P. H. Glatfelter Paper Company of Spring Grove, Pennsylvania. This undertaking is the first of its kind in the Commonwealth and is designed to serve the water supply needs of a private industry and the town of Spring Grove, and to provide a public recreation area.
The P. H. Glatfelter Company paid approximately $5.5 million to construct an earth fill dam, 109 feet high, 1,690 feet long and 750 feet thick. The dam itself is on Glatfelter property and is not owned by the park. The gates at the dam were closed to impound water in December 1966. The Commonwealth acquired the park land under the land acquisition program during 1965-1966. Originally the park was known as Codorus Creek State Park. Lake Marburg is named for the small community of Marburg that is covered by the lake.
The design and construction of the park facilities were funded by the bond program and the federal government's Land and Water Conservation Fund.
The main launching area, off of Sinsheim Road, was the first project in Pennsylvania completed for public use under the Project 500 Program. This lighted facility, open 24 hours a day, year-round, was dedicated for use on May 9, 1970.
Camping: modern sites, some with electricity
The 198-site campground opens the second Friday in April and closes the third Sunday in October. The sites are suitable for tents or recreational vehicles up to 50 feet in length. Thirteen walk-in sites are available for tents only. Hot showers, flush toilets and a sanitary dump station are available. Many campsites have electric hookups. Eight campsites with electricity can accommodate people with disabilities. From Memorial Day to Labor Day the maximum stay in the campground is 14 consecutive nights. All camping equipment must be removed from the park for 48 hours before returning.

Commande du Centre national d'art et de culture Georges Pompidou, 2025
Cette œuvre est une installation interactive, une plongée dans l'indigo, signature plastique de l'artiste, qui renvoie à cette teinture naturelle bleue qui porte une charge magique et historique en Afrique et aux Antilles et dont la culture est liée à l'histoire de l'esclavage. Le mélange d'images et d'objets crée des strates de lecture multiples et forme un palimpseste, comme un autel à la mémoire reliant Césaire et Senghor, Fort-de-France et Dakar, vía Paris...
