As a non-profit association Les Jardins des Pilotes is dedicated to the presentation and production of outstanding pieces of art.

The gardens we have in mind are delimited spaces which visitors enter in order to have, and share, a particular experience. We conceive of both the visitors and the artists as ‘pilots’ who pass through these spaces – mobile subjects, frequently dependent on technologies of transportation and of mediation. The best image that we have so far found for our undertaking is that of a flying carpet – the Persian carpet being an old symbol for the Garden of Eden and representing an oasis, an island upon which to rest, a mobile site of contemplation. The flying carpet is a dream, conjured up by nomads who longed to travel fast and safe, and rest at the same time.

Les Jardins des Pilotes was founded in 2008 and is represented by Andreas Broeckmann and Stefan Riekeles.
