I was born at 18 years old it was May 68
I had my first love I did
my first hitchhiking trips
I left my studies leaving my
parents I entered bohemian in
my life I tried to be an artist
gerard houllier a little guitar the
piano
I tried to be a comedian
I did some video cinema
I wrote some guitar poems
it allowed me later to
pick up my future wife by playing him
forbidden Games
I wanted to be victor
hugo godard depardieu miles davis
I had set the bar very high it was
that or nothing but as places
were already taken
Well, that ended in nothing
to compensate for this frustration I
am set to devote my time to
try to showcase talent
artistic of my colleagues and
human sisters I have like that was
concert organizer
especially for about ten years
it was in Strasbourg in a cafe
concert called the coffee of
angels
I also took care of a festival
of jazz
I liked that my coffee
angels was a work of art too
a survey published in 1991 in télérama
showed that the coffee of angels
were the favorite cultural venue of
from Strasbourg for 25 years and even
far ahead of all other places
Catherine Trautmann’s commentary
who was at the time mayor of
strasbourg and will later be minister of
the culture start with it’s a
amazing result
ah yes yeah that was the most
small cultural places of the city
and in addition the only unsubsidized
in a city richly endowed with
cultural facilities subsidize the
other
one day I was controlled without
seatbelt in my car
the policeman who’s controlling me when
he knew that I was working at the cafe
angels
Well he let me go by myself
saying that’s what you do
but put the belt anyway
next time packing was when
even a little bit proud there of
to make my contribution a
significant contribution to
well-being to the quality of life of my
city and then one day a spring got
broken up in Strasbourg for reasons
I do not want to explain here
so after a desert crossing
we crossed France with woman
kids backpack we went through the
France we came to live in Saint
brieuc in poor immigrant me me I
set to run from beach to beach at
low tide to try to glean a
little sea food after a few
family vomiting sessions
I can distinguish the crepidula
clam the green alga from the
samphire
and then one day picking up an old
newspaper there who was hanging out for me
to blow up I see a weekend with full
lots of shows
I was not expecting what then
it started to sprout in my
mind an idea an idea she is
surely bring me the fortune and the
glory creating a magazine
cultural information
she think about it so I started to
meet them a number
local cultural actors of which I
will not name them their welcome has been
downright encouraging we live very
well without it for years that you
do we want to do it we do not need
if you want nothing happens here returns
in your country times if you do not want to
to do then I must tell you
that I still have a bad habit
is that I rarely ever do what
I am advised to do so I
it is the realization of our projects
one day that I was walking to the tip
Sublime roselier point of view on the
bay of saint brieuc at once there
I hear a thunderclap from
lightning and then there an appearance of
the team says the gray along the newspaper
you will then call me there I then the
bri knees wool and head
that streams from rain of tears and then
I say but lord but it’s
completely stupid
yes of course but this test
extra in harden monfils
thank you the good bastard so then I
do this abalone cry this magazine
cultural information of the coasts
d’armor
it was in 1999 it was at
last century
it’s been 17 years and it still exists
I like to also consider there that this
cry of their words it’s a work of art
so I associated with my approach
some collaborator collaborator
like me not journalists not
commercial by world graphic designers and
men and women of culture who
connoisseurs in theater in music
Breton culture in the plastic arts
have wanted to invest in the same
direction that I invest myself I said
yes, it’s the right word to invest
besides, I will propose that we do not speak
more cultural spending but
cultural investment must say that
this type of investment can be
painful if you knew how I
galley for decades finally
why I tell you my life in fact
to make me lather what with my 45
years of flying hours in the field of
Culture
45 years of personal investment in
Culture
it also allows me to remember that
I am younger and that makes me
what?
but what culture are we talking about
at the beginning the culture is work of
the land to grow
plants in the Roman era ciceron
1 gave
add the word annie mousse for
transform the meaning to nîmes or slam
it was annie mac authorizes culture of
the soul garden the spirit what in 1982
unesco proposed a definition of
the culture that is the set of traits
distinctive spiritual and material
intellectual and emotional who
characterizes a society or group
social shake to shake hands
to say hello is cultural
eat fish on Friday was wearing a
pants re or dress or burqa
to dance the gavotte all that is
cultural but what interests us here
it’s a more restrictive definition
of culture I mean the whole
human artistic activities and
goods and services that are there
related as is to help artists
build equipment
museum exhibition shows
finance events
events promote the implantation
of cultural industries
even here it is
an obvious one to understand what we
means by cultural we have in France a
TV channel called
tf1 who pass films from broadcasts
variety of reality shows on
do not call it cultural channel then
than another string arte that pass
movies that make you think of soon
debates of contemporary art
documentaries this one is called
cultural channel
what’s the difference I’m you
recalls a statement from the CEO of TF1
in 2004 who said I quote roughly
the interest of our programs is
make the human brain available the
relax entertain him to prepare him
upon receipt of messages
advertising
end of quote tf1 string of
entertainment arte culture chain
relaxation of a gymnastic side
brain of the other what the brain
it’s like a muscle you have to give it
some exercice
otherwise it’s necrosis but actually
what good is the culture very good
question thank you for asking me and
well art and culture have some
human and societal impacts very
strong everyone recognizes him
it serves to promote understanding
human leu leu
the autonomy of the individual is also
necessary that the cement to do
hold the bricks of a wall or water
to boil hnwi sa
difference if the man of the animal his
difference if the jewel of the pebble the
literature of the penal code the
noise music when I was talking about
support to help artists
I also wanted to talk about fostering
the artistic expression of a whole
each of sir and madam all the
world because when we allow a
self to express it will release
some of his frustrations
if an individual then that’s going to put me in
value also from others and
from others at
him even if an individual hears years
intends to treat two voids to length
of life or even 100 tents reduced from
nothing at all by a society that
prefer to ignore his existence then
the individual there he may be putting
implement rather weird things
to show that it exists but not
necessarily to be loved
besides the artist is also in this
quest for self-esteem but he he
is where the interest of an action
cultural that will put in relation these
declared artists and the rest of the
population of young people in particular
serious studies have shown that
artistic and cultural practice
was a very good way to fight
against Alzheimer’s disease or
depression
so when it’s not going strong you
go to a doctor finally doctor
in pau l’ag the housing project
not the fries
the doctor yes well I see what he
you need there then you will take me
agen 3 pages of reading
the evening after the meal a session of
cinema
and then three drops of song
French before going to bed
and then you write is a poem by
day I tried and in addition to the safety
refunded me so we can dream is
another proof of the importance
principal is fundamental to art that’s
that in the world
extremisms and fascisms they
have to stop destroying it for
prevent brains from thinking and
to oppose the oppression they
destroy the forbid music
the press the images they destroy the
works the monuments to dominate it
must deceive and then the wolf culture
the eyes so obviously he does not like
it
yes it’s all well and good, but uh
it’s still expensive you need
the means for that yes but it can
pay big
take my example with 45 years
investment in crops
now I’m leading a
colossal fortune I am at the head
of a company of 2500 employees who
are happy who venerates me kiki who
are crying with joy when they
here at the controls of my
helicopter that goes to the opening of a
exhibition of contemporary art which I joke
there I actually joke the way of
the press that I’m there that makes it
that at three four years old I come to
touch the smic over 17 years to ba then
what you call the fallout
economic investment
cultural
bravo it’s true that apart from the stars and
institutions most artists
still his opinion in the galley and
the suffering there are some who say that
makes them stronger than the songs the
most beautiful are the most desperate
it’s hard for them but it’s a choice
of life so they do not come to us
break their spirits with them their sore
to live whoever they make the art of
their pain of living
[Music]
and then there are some who will also have a
posthumous recognition
it will be a consolation for his artists
lighthouses and
lazy treatises that we
expensive is dead like the
fools evil including the headlights of
humanity and sense of good returns and
at the cave age behind the
freedom of the artist is ours no
the economic spinoffs of art and
culture is not about the individual who
the practice she wears is the
company that benefits because a
territory of culture he will benefit
a very strong attractiveness
he will draw from the population of
consumer industry of
investors he will create you
commercial profiles in france the sector
cultural contribute this time more to
pib that the automotive industry
there is the avignon forum which is a
organization that has been studying for
thirty years the relations between
culture and the economy have shown
than a 10% increase in spending
cultural investment
causes a pib increase of 1.7
percent good it does not speak to you but
that means that 18 euros of expenses
cultural that causes a
GDP increase of 625 euros
of course there are other factors
attractiveness of a territory as its
beauty its weather that helped any
infrastructure in all areas
its gastronomy the job but the
culture still brings this
soul complement necessary to the
quality of life in the country so when
we live in a poor country
disadvantaged lousy cold wet it in
Happily exists not in Brittany
there you have to take a serious interest
cultural development
give you
example of economic benefits of
this cultural investment
you surely know all the
bilbao bilbao effect this Basque city
Spanish who was in the doldrums
economic for years during
generations
until in 97 the opening of the
Guggenheim Museum of Contemporary Art
blew up the city the booster of
completely unbelievable way more
by more recently with
incidences that may not quite have
measure the you have the pompidou center
to put the louvre of lens
closer to here the little island of
Paimpol lives a thousand inhabitants with his
singer song festival 11
million euros of economic impact
even closer binic 4000 inhabitants
with its folk blues festival 2 million
euros from fallout liverpool capital
European Council of Culture in 2008 a
billion euros of benefits also a
little bit of the other side of the coin with
example marseille european capital
of culture in 2013
there they destroyed a whole
popular area of the city for
relegate the population to
ghettos of the northern neighborhoods and concreting
the city for their benefit it’s called
gentrification is paying more
the artists during even not been
invited to the renault party
now the example of the coasts of armor
we live there it’s a country that was
formerly poor who was
enriched for years by the chandeliers
by raising pork that is
now in a calamitous crisis
its main industry and
agribusiness and next to that
there is not so much industry and since
a few decades the coasts of armor
are received become a country one of
main countries of France for art and
culture has become a straightforward
of his greatest positive forces
but it does not know that much from where
a modest attractiveness
except for tourism then following a
principle strategic principles of the game
chess, which consists in reinforcing
strengths rather than his points
low
I will bring two recommendations to
this territory one to develop further
much more strongly his sound
cultural development sound
cultural investment and to make
so that it is known in the world
whole because we can have a
know-how must also be known
and then until one day we talk
more of the bilbao effect but of the effect
armor ribs or so but we can
also talk about the effect of montargis and
the ephemeral montferrand data
saskatchewan and effect and moselle
moselle twenty two people well two
facts
[Applause]
