Collaboration With Aurélia Lassaque

I've completed 2 books. The one for Aurélia is in Occitane and French, the other is in French. Here is the French text:

Ils ont voyagé par les matins verts
Sur les eaux de l’ailleurs,
Ont tourné tant de fois dans les ciels clairs,
Ont salué les innombrables morts des astres
Et sont rentrés aux champs pauvres
Par certaines
Dans la mutité du temps présent,
Les oiseaux du blanc matin.

Collaborative Exhibition

The Kiehle Gallery presents an exhibition by Julie Baugnet, Professor of Design and Felip Costaglioli, Professor of International Cinema and Aesthetics. Baugnet, a painter, and Costaglioli, a poet, explore the process of traversing text and image. In collaboration, they have created an impressive exhibition that weaves landscape and voice. Ranging from large expressive paintings to intimate journals and artists’ books, the work is presented in English, French, and Catalan. This energetic body of work gives insight into the common territories of poetry and image and reveals an innate passion for color, texture, and the written word.
