00:00Welcome to Mediane TV and art in this cultural chronicle to talk to you about the Cameroonian artist Pascal Martin Taillou.
00:16For many observers, this artist is an ace in the detour, because he takes hold of the little things of everyday life and dazzles us with his brilliant hybrid arrangements.
00:27Endowed with extraordinary creative energy, Pascal Martin Taillou travels the world with his exhibitions, with a visual curiosity.
00:35The objects scattered here and there are stored in his workshop to nourish a dazzling work.
00:41Nomadic artist, born in Cameroon in 1966, Pascal Martin Taillou likes to collect a lot of things in the bazaars and markets of the countries he travels to make his soup, as he says.
00:53Pascal Martin Taillou's desire to cross borders, to disrupt the aesthetic categories and cultural landmarks is as much his genius as the remarkable associations.
01:03His refusal to be reduced to a geographical origin or locked up in an identity assignment led him, from his first exhibitions in the 1990s, to feminize his signature.
01:17I invite you to listen to Pascal Martin Taillou, who is preparing a creation in Abu Dhabi, in the UAE.
01:24One of the things that struck me, because for me it seems to me that it is the work of a perfect, is when I attended the birth of my daughter.
01:35Watching my wife giving birth to my daughter, I had a strong emotion.
01:39And there I said to myself, if art should exist, I am facing art.
01:44In culture, the first thing for me is the human.
01:47If we have the ability to preserve the human and to allow him to explore these spaces of free expression, in my opinion, we are on the right track of protecting culture for humanity.
02:00Artists without borders, Pascal Martin Taillou proposes in his art a reflection on recycling and dialogue between matters that separate everything.
02:10Pascal Martin Taillou places on his creations, bandages, fragments of recycled fabrics, torn off, all the materials that he uses, dialogue between them and unfolds above the heads of visitors.
02:22Rituals, symbols, news, Cameroon of the roots and current nomadism are mixed under the hands of the artist.
02:29For nearly 30 years, the work of the plastician, living between Belgium and Cameroon, has gained recognition on the international scene,
02:37in particular thanks to his participation in the documenta 11 of Castel in 2002 and at the Biennale de Venice in 2005 and 2009.
02:45As a storyteller and prestidigitator, Pascal Martin Taillou tries to make sure that he is not where we expect him to be.
02:53Pascal Martin Taillou gives himself the opportunity to surprise us and to steal our curiosity.
02:58I ask you to listen to him.
03:00In the museum of science, the museum of research, the spaces of reflection must tend to favor this education on the safeguard of what is dear to humanity, which is its environment.
03:12Because if we do not preserve this, everything we create will have no space to survive.
03:18For the world of culture, it is a bit like the human being who refuses to die.
03:24And to not die, you have to breathe.
03:26In this new world of breathing.
03:28And music to finish is the legendary British guitarist Eric Clapton, who announced the release of his new album entitled Meanwhile.
03:36This project marks his first non-festive album since I Still Do, released in 2016.
03:41The digital release of this album is scheduled for October 4, 2024, while the CD and vinyl versions will arrive on January 24, 2025.
03:51Eric Clapton returns with a mix of unprecedented titles and songs released over the past few years, including several collaborations with renowned artists.
04:00The Meanwhile album will include a total of 14 tracks, including Pampus, Fool and Heart of Child, two singles already published.
04:09And the album also includes collaborations with artists such as Van Morrison, Bradley Walker, Judith Hill.
04:16The last single, an excerpt from this album entitled One Woman, is now available to listen to.
04:22This title is added to a collection that highlights the inimitable style of Clapton, merging blues, rock and a unique personal touch.
04:31We are obviously listening to an excerpt from One Woman by Eric Clapton.
04:40Will you reach for me?

04:47When the tears you cry are endless

04:55Or I'll ease your pain
04:58Cause I've got open arms for you
05:02And a heart that's always true
05:05Opened up my eyes to the one thing I knew
05:10It's got to be one woman
05:13Hold on to
05:17Baby through the good and the bad
05:20We all know that it means
05:23One woman
