What is the meaning of Humour Vigne ?
To what does "Vigne" refer ?
«Humour & Vigne» is the name of the biennial festival dedicated to the cartoon and the natural heritage of the vine. In choosing the word «vigne» (both vine and vineyard) rather than «vin» (wine) the organisers offer artists a broader spectrum of choice which could include, for example : the plant, the stock, the leaves, the grapes, the grape juice and of course the wine !
Numerous other products such as Cognac, Pineau des Charentes, Champagne etc… without forgetting the vineyard and the men who cultivate and plant the vines on their own very particular soil. Again the cellars, the distillery, the barrels, the bottles and the glasses for the joy of tasting. In short, we could decline over several pages the list of concepts that cover the word «vigne».
Cartoons and the vine both facilitate an exchange which goes beyond the barriers of language adding to the pleasure and well being of all peoples.
'What is the Biennial ?
Since 1994, held every two years in the summer, the festival of Jonzac has gained international renown. The programme includes exhibitions, spectacles, and humorous entertainements. The festival welcomes artists and supports regional and international links. The event gives the opportunity to publish a catalogue, a poster and humorous wine labels. Every festival keeps a general theme of « Humour & Vigne » and every time proposes a unique subject, for example : the Kitchen in 2002, Art in 2004, Sport in 2006, Love in 2008. In 2010 for the 9th biennal on the theme of Magic, the guest of honour will be Roland Sabatier.
Who is concerned ?
In 2008, 230 cartoonists (numbering amongst them some famous names and many members of FECO) from over forty countries, submitted about 700 artworks half of which were selected for inclusion in the exhibition. With Bridenne (guest of honour) and Ralph Steadman (special guest) about 20 cartoonists were present. Thirty or more organising volunteers and sixty supporters and sponsors contributed to the success of the event. The number of travelling exhibitions were doubled (from 7 to 15) and also the number of visitors. 70.000 persons attended the exhibition in Jonzac, in others town in France, and in Belgium at the European Cartoon Center (Kruishoutem) and Boechout.
Where and when is it ?
In Jonzac town of water and of Pineau situated between Cognac and Bordeaux. From 26th June to 11th July 2010. Inauguration and celebration Saturday 26th June 2010.
In brief.
«Humour & Vigne» has no other ambition than to unite the talents of cartoonists worldwide around a theme generous in its interpretation A small festival in a small town with a small budget but a high investment from volunteers creating bonhomie between the invited artists participants and organisers.
