Lit transcendental, Claire Roudenko-Bertin, Landes du Pouchiou - Garein, 1995, FNAC 01 181 By a kind of miraculous logic, this work has chosen, thanks to its various actors and witnesses, to borrow its original strength, bringing it, through its artwork form, a return of soul. Designed to invite the visitor to come and lay a desire of unknown nature at its centre, the Transcendental Bed uses the materials and carpentry techniques of the traditional house of the Grande Lande and is intended, through its complex assemblies and cutting lines, to be a tribute to 17th century carpentry. For Claire Roudenko-Bertin, materials and techniques have been re-informed by artistic thought.

Gothic fortified church and late 13th-century wall paintings The paintings in the apse's cul-de-four were restored in 1890 by L. Augier and L. Millet, as attested by an inscription. The lower register, entirely from the late 19th century, depicts the Virgin and Child between Saints Jacques and Antoine. The upper register can be dated to the late 13th century and depicts the Coronation of the Virgin. Two angels, one bearing the sun, the other the moon, frame the central scene. Although much restored, Garein's Coronation of the Virgin is the oldest example preserved in a Landes church.

Sculpture zoo. Laurent Le Deunff. Garein, 2014. Programming: Didier Arnaudet The proposal is to design an indefinable place that borrows from other spaces linked to creation: the workshop, the storeroom, the collection, the exhibition. Laurent Le Deunff will use this space to store, collect and contextualize some of his works. He manages the activity to show a selection of pieces, in particular conditions and in various combinations, and to make his approach part of a constantly evolving offer. The works are not here to stay. They are passing through, waiting for other destinations. This renewal allows to maintain indeterminacy, surprise and thus curiosity. It is a place that welcomes and protects, encloses and designates. It is a cage. The spectator is outside and looks through the bars. Like in a zoo.
