Source text - French La popularité de Gérard Garouste n’a d’égal que sa singularité. « Ne demande jamais ton chemin à celui qui le connaît, tu risquerais de ne pas t’égarer » : cette phrase de Rabbi Nahman de Bratsla dit toute la démarche de l’artiste, qui choisit la figuration et l’étude des mythes comme il fait appel aux aventures de Don Quichotte ou de Tintin, pour mieux explorer aujourd’hui l’identité humaine.
Translation - English Gérard Garouste’s popularity is only equaled by his singularity. "Never ask directions from someone who knows the way, you risk not getting lost": this quote from Rabbi Nachman of Bratsla tells all about the whole process of the artist, who chooses figuration and the study of myths just as he uses the adventures of Don Quixote or Tintin to better explore human identity today.

Source text - French Avec le projet de film "Elle a huit bras et un bec", l’artiste Arianne Foks, qui cette fois revêt les habits de réalisatrice, plonge dans la marmite du cuisinier Jordan Bischoff. Seul dans les sous-sols de son restaurant, on y découvre le jeune chef français couper, assembler, jouer avec ses feux pour faire naître ses recettes, plat-objet d’observation, de désir, d’expérience. Au milieu de son univers culinaire vient se glisser un étrange spécimen vivant : la pieuvre. Plat à la saveur délicate s’il en est, l’animal plus vulgairement appelé poulpe, fascine le cuisinier qui l’élève au rang de quasi-religion.
Translation - English Artist Arianne Foks takes on the role of director this time with the film project "Elle a huit bras et un bec" and enters into the culinary world of chef Jordan Bischoff. We discover the young French chef alone in the basement of his restaurant, cutting, assembling and playing with flames to create his recipes, his dish – object of observation, desire and experiment. A strange living specimen has slipped into his culinary universe : the octopus. A delicately flavored dish if ever there was one, the octopus fascinates the chef who raises it to the level of a quasi-religion.

Experience
Years of experience: 18. Registered at ProZ.com: Aug 2015.
I've been a language teacher in the US and France for almost 20 years and an independent translator since 2005. Since 2011, I've specialised in art and culture. With New York origins and almost 15 years living and working in France, I translate French documents into English with an intimate knowledge of both languages and cultures. I work closely with my clients and offer them well-written, well-researched documents at reasonable rates within the established deadline.
My services include the translation of art exhibitions catalogues, art press releases and press kits, brochures, articles, interviews, essays and websites related to art but also documents related to media and marketing. My clients include several major foundations and galleries in France and abroad including the Fondation Maeght, Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont and the Fondation Karolyi.
