Since the beginning of the 70's Gilles Clément has designed and created gardens for private clients in France and abroad. In 1977 he ceased this activity to devote himself to public space and founded the Atelier Acanthe in 1985. In 2000, he became an independent artist and organized his services in partnership with landscape architects, in particular Coloco in Paris.
The concept of "Garden in Movement", born from an experimentation in his own garden in Creuse finds its implementation in public space for the first time in the Parc André Citroën in 1986. The book bearing the same name was published in 1991. Numerous works will follow (more than twenty), some approaching other important concepts: Le Jardin Planétaire (exhibition at La Villette in 1999/2000), Le Tiers-Paysage (2003), translated into several languages.
The traveling exhibition Toujours la vie invente, created in 2013 in Saint-Benoît du Sault, installed at the Centre Culturel de rencontre de Noirlac (2014) then at the school of architecture Paris Val de Seine(2015), at the biennial of contemporary art of Melle (2015), at the art center of Meyrin in Geneva (2016), at the park of Trévarez in Brittany (2017) is presented in Lausanne in 2019.
Several prizes consecrate his work, including the "Grand prix du paysage" in 1998.
The Parc André Citroën (in co-design), the Domaine du Rayol in the Var, the Jardins de l'Arche in Nanterre, the Jardin de Valloires in the Somme, the Parc Matisse in Lille, the garden of the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, the roof of the Base sous-marine de Saint Nazaire (Jardin du Tiers-paysage) are some of the most well-known projects.
