A l'occasion de l'exposition "V" d'Amy O'Neill au FRAC (Fonds régional d'art contemporain) Basse-Normandie, un entretien a été réalisé avec l'artiste en partenariat avec le CRDP (Centre régional de documentation pédagogique) de Basse-Normandie.Les œuvres d'Amy O'Neill s’inspirent de la culture populaire américaine - notamment celle de Pennsylvanie où elle a grandi -, ses marges et ses contradictions. La série "Victory Gardens", présentée au FRAC Basse-Normandie, a pour point de départ un programme politique incitant les civils américains à cultiver leur jardin, pendant les première et seconde guerres mondiales. Ces jardins de la victoire, soutenus par une imagerie de propagande, avaient pour but de contribuer à nourrir la population et de participer à l’effort de guerre. "Victory Gardens" met en lumière l’évolution de l’engagement individuel et collectif face à la guerre. La reprise des formes de la culture populaire est un moyen pour l’artiste de souligner l’ambiguïté des sentiments lorsqu’il est question de l’identité citoyenne, de sa construction et de sa transmission. exposition Amy O'Neill "V" du 3 mars au 22 avril 2012au FRAC Basse-Normandie, 9 rue Vaubenard, Caentous les jours de 14h à 18h sauf jours fériés

The O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series returns to the icy waters of Scotland to challenge the world's best surfers in the toughest conditions from April 13th - 19th! As the snow stops falling, the ice begins to melt, and the air temperature starts to hover just above zero, it can only be time once again for the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Scotland. Returning to the icy waters and the lauded wave of Thurso East on the remote northern tip of Scotland, this is a journey into the wild that is one of the most anticipated stops on the world surfing tour each year. This second stop on the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011, following its kick off in New Zealand, definitely involves embracing the elements. But the reward for the voyage into the wild is massive. Not only do surfers from all over the world have the chance to experience some of the best waves on the planet in isolated surrounds, but moreover they have the opportunity to lift the highly treasured Highland Sword, and become a Lord! The two finalists will each receive a plot of land in the Scottish Highlands and with it, the title of Lord! The O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series Scotland has so far produced Lord Adam Melling, Lord Royden Bryson, Lord Luke Munro and Lord Yuri Sodre.

The 2011 edition of the O'Neill Evolution will go down as one of the most significant milestones in the history of professional snowboarding. This was the year that four of the sport's best Slopestyle contest riders raised the bar by stomping trick after trick when it mattered most, and the year that three close friends - Seb Toots, Marc McMorris and Eric Willet ended - up on the podium after arguably the best and most thrilling Superfinal ever. And spare a thought for Belgian rider Seppe Smits - a score of 93.57 would normally be more than enough to win any contest, but on this special night his score wasn't even good enough for a spot on the podium.

The O'Neill Evolution is readying to launch the year 2011 with quite a show. From January 2nd until the 8th expect to be mesmerised as some of the best snowboarding talent in the world pushes the limits and take to the skies from the halfpipe and slopestyle sitting at the base of the Jakobshorn, in Davos, Switzerland. The 6 star Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour event is once again pushing new boundaries. The event for 2011 now holds a 6 star TTR rating for both the women's Slopestyle as well as the Halfpipe. And this year also sees the 6 star rating for men extended to the 2-hit Slopestyle course for the first time. For more information visit: www.oneill.com/evolution Watch it live: www.oneill.com/live

The O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011 continues with its promise to push boundaries to find new remote waves around the world in which to host a world-class surfing competition series. Four exceptional surf events held in the most isolated places of three continents… Four challenging waves that have to be ridden under the most extreme and cold conditions… Four events of the ASP Tour, all surrounded by unique landscapes – that's the Cold Water Classic Series 2011. Following the resounding success of the tour in the last two years, the series makes a much-anticipated return for 2011 uniting the most southern, the most northern, the coldest and the most classic event of the surf world. Last years saw the series push the boundaries of surfing in a way never seen before offering some of the best waves of the ASP tour. Blending adventure, exploration, surf and competition, the Cold Water Classic Series will again inspire the world of surfing offering a US$ 50,000 all-over prize-money.

The 5th day of the O'Neill Cold Water Classic California was full of drama, drama, drama! It started in heat 2 in the round of 48. With Jordy Smith (ZAF), Shaun Cansdell (AUS), Raoni Monteiro (BRA) and Roy Powers (HAW) together in one heat, it was definitely one to watch! Jordy Smith however had rolled his ankle at a charity event last night and as a precautionary measure ahead of Puerto Rico, pulled out of the heat. Raoni and Roy finished ahead of current CWC Series leader Shaun Cansdell and knocked him out of the competition!! Shaun's fate and that of the $50.000 was left up to second placed Stuart Kennedy (AUS) who was surfing later in the morning. And so the drama continued: Stuart Kennedy was also knocked out of his heat in the round of 48 meaning Shaun Cansdell maintains the Series lead, but has not quite won the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2010 yet. His fate now lies in the hands of fellow Australian, Dion Atkinson who must reach the finals to secure a CWC Series win after making it through his round of 24 heat in the dying seconds. 19 year old Santa Cruz local Nat Young put on quite a show at his home break coming through top of both his heats. 20 year old New Zealander Billy Stairmand scored the highest heat total of the day with a 15.27. And the youngest competitor here, 16 year old Kolohe Andino (USA) impressed all with his aerial skills.

Lord Brent Dorrington (AUS) wins the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Scotland 2011! Lord Jay Quinn takes second. Brent Dorrington raised the Highland Sword high above his head as he was knighted Lord Dorrington after winning the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Scotland 2011. In addition to the title of Lord and $20,000 prize money, Brent also gets to bring home the treasured Highland sword. It was a close fought final in clean 4-foot conditions at Thurso East and despite a wave on the whistle, New Zealander Jay Quinn had to settle for second place at this 6 Star ASP Event. This second stop on the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011 was almost an all-kiwi final after Jay beat Alain Riou (PYF). However Brent pulled out a 9.0 and a 9.5 in the semi final to leave Richard Christie (NZL) unable to fight back, providing an Anzac final instead. Whilst last year's O'Neill Cold Water Classic Scotland was held in a freezing cold snowstorm, this year the competition wrapped up on a stunning sunny Sunday evening as competitors watched the action, laying in the sun on the cliff above the reef. 2011 has been one of the most spectacular years for the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Scotland. The mobile event had no need to explore further than the world-class wave of Thurso East much to the delight of all the surfers who made the journey up to this remote part of the world.

The O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011 continues with its promise to push boundaries to find new remote waves around the world in which to host a world-class surfing competition series. For 2011, the O'Neill CWC Series brings a 6 Star ASP World Tour event to Gisborne, on the North Island of New Zealand for the first time ever! Gisborne is one place in the world that is all too familiar with "firsts". It is the first city in the world to greet the sun every morning. And it was the first area of New Zealand sighted by the crew of Captain James Cook's ship, the Endeavour. And now, between March 23 and March 29, 2011, it will be the first stop on the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011. Sitting on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, Turanga Nui A Kiwa, is known for its high quality surf based on the coast's exposure to a 180-degree swell window. Add to this an assortment of reefs, beaches, points and bars all facing different directions, as well as a lack of crowds due to its remote location, and this is guaranteed to be an epic kick-off for the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series 2011. Following the launch in New Zealand, the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series will travel to its northernmost destination - Thurso, Scotland, for the 6 Star ASP World Tour event from April 13 until April 19, before culminating once again at the 6 Star Prime ASP World Tour event, the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Series, California, in Santa Cruz, October 24-30, 2011.

Eight surfers today moved one step closer to being able to hang the Highland Sword on their mantlepiece and acquire the title of 'Lord' as the quarterfinalists were decided at the O'Neill Cold Water Classic Scotland. Among them were two New Zealanders who have stood out throughout this competition so far; Jay Quinn and Richard Christie. But the two Kiwi boys are facing some stiff competition in the way of the French here in Scotland. Joan Duru, pulled out the second highest wave score of the competition with a 9.8 in his heat against Tim Boal (FRA). Joining him the quarterfinals for another possible one-nation final is fellow Frenchman, Vincent Duvignac who knocked out Kevin Sullivan (HAW) in their Round 4 match up. Alain Riou (PYF), Hodei Collazo (EUK), Leonardo Neves (BRA) and Brent Dorrington (AUS) make up the final eight competitors in the quarterfinals. In what is becoming one of the most classic years of this competition ever, the town of Thurso on the northernmost coast of Scotland awoke once again to clean head high waves and epic conditions at Thurso East. And things are looking the same for tomorrow.
