Émile Gilioli

Émile Gilioli (b. Paris, 10 June 1911, d. Paris, 19 January 1977), was a French-Italian sculptor. Gilioli was one of the representatives of abstract French sculpture in the 1950s. Émile Gilioli was born to a family of Italian shoemakers who had settled beside the Canal Saint-Martin. After the First World War, the family moved back towards Italy, settling in Nice. In 1932, Gilioli took courses at the École des Arts Décoratifs de Nice, notably with the future artist Marie Raymond. During the Second World War, Gilioli was mobilized in Grenoble where he passed the remainder of the conflict. He made the acquaintance of Andry-Fracy, conservationist at the Grenoble Musée des beaux-arts, and led him to discover cubism. After the war, Gilioli settled in Saint-Martin-de-la-Cluze near Grenoble, where he sculpted in his workshop. His art was associated in a certain way with the deeds of the French Resistance. He became friendly with Thomas Gleb. He advised his friend Georges Ladrey, who wished to leave the Alpes pour Paris with the intention of perfecting his skills in an art school, to develop his personal artistic vision, judging that his technique was sufficiently refined. In 1947, Gilioli exhibited in the salon des réalités nouvelles in Paris. In 1949, Gilioli took part in the first Salon de la jeune sculpture in the garden and chapel of the Musée Rodin in Paris. The first salon was attended by 63 sculptors including Gilioli, Emmanuel Auricoste, Étienne Hajdu, Baltasar Lobo and Berto Lardera. From 1954 onwards, Gilioli took part in collective exhibitions with other artists such as Étienne Martin, Alicia Penalba, François Stahly and Simone Boisecq. In 1997 to mark the 20th anniversary of Gilioli's death, the municipalité of Saint-Martin-de-la-Cluze decided to acquire Gilioli's house and workshop, respecting the expressed wish of his wife Babet to create a space dedicated to the artist's memory. In 2004, the workshop/house was turned into a museum/library which hosts a permanent exhibition presenting Gilioli's work.

Des espaces pour la ville. Aménagement des espaces publics formateurs de la future gare des Eaux-Vives (Genève, GE)

Anne Prida

Dans le cadre du projet de raccordement ferroviaire CEVA, les terrains de la gare actuelle des Eaux-Vives sont une chance unique de densifier le centre de la ville de Genève. La nouvelle gare sera en effet souterraine et les six hectares libérés en surface font l'objet d'un plan directeur de quartier prévoyant des logements et des programmes mixtes. Le projet propose une réflexion sur les espaces publics générés par la station dans ce nouveau quartier. Il s'agit de démontrer que l'on peut projeter des espaces publics sans connaître la nature du bâti environnant, qui se limite ici à des gabarits. Les accès liés au fonctionnement de la gare, initialement prévus au centre de la plate-forme, sont rabattus latéralement dans l'épaisseur du bâti et rejoignent les quais à travers une galerie marchande. L'espace ainsi produit au-dessus de la gare comprend une bande de 30 m de large libre de construction sur toute la longueur des voies. Cette horizontale est l'occasion de concevoir un grand vide à l'échelle de la ville permettant des usages multiples. L'esplanade est donc un espace reconnaissable dans ces dimensions, composée d'un matériau unique, autour duquel se développent des espaces publics secondaires. Le projet profite de la situation topographique pour articuler les différents niveaux du site et irriguer le quartier. L'espace linéaire devient ainsi la colonne vertébrale de tout un morceau de ville.
