En fusionnant la vision de l’artiste et celle du scientifique, la démarche créative n’est plus exclusivement de l’art ni de la science. L’interdisciplinarité révèle un processus de création connexe ; elle est un catalyseur d’innovations dont Le Laboratoire invite à faire l’expérience. 3 Dans la Sphère de Thierry Marx … et autre invention culinaire Quatrième expérience du Laboratoire depuis son ouverture en octobre 2007, la rencontre entre le chef étoilé Thierry Marx et le physicien Jérôme Bibette provoque la rencontre créative de l’art culinaire et de la science des colloïdes*. Vivez l’expérience ! Entrer dans « La Sphère de Thierry Marx », c’est passer la frontière des énigmes de la création gastronomique et goûter aux plaisirs gustatifs et visuels d’une expérience inattendue. L’exposition s’attache à réinventer l’esprit de la table selon le chef, en accord avec les dernières avancées de la science des particules microscopiques, développée par le scientifique Jérôme Bibette. Comment créer des billes dont l’enveloppe est aussi légère qu’une bulle de savon et dont l’explosion en bouche révèle toute la saveur unique d’un aliment ou d’un plat ? Comment déstructurer un produit pour le reconstruire dans une forme contemporaine qui libère en une bouchée la saveur d’une recette ? De cette collaboration art/science entre Thierry Marx et Jérôme Bibette sont nées de nouvelles sensations réunies autour de trois recettes créées pour l’exposition. Les repas sont servis dans des bento box (boîtes-repas traditionnelles du Japon), réinventées autour d’un design spécialement conçu pour ces nouvelles recettes par les étudiants de l’ENSCI. Les visiteurs sont invités à déguster leur repas autour de six tables animées par les vidéos de Mathilde de L’Ecotais. Des images qui, entre beauté des gestes et secrets de composition, racontent l’histoire d’une rencontre et narrent une expérience tout à la fois artistique et scientifique. Goûtez l’avenir À la fin de leur repas et à toute heure du jour, les visiteurs ont la possibilité de se rendre au « Whif Bar » pour y savourer du chocolat dans une forme aérosol inédite qui accompagne le café offert par Nespresso. Développée par des étudiants de Harvard en collaboration avec David Edwards, cette expérience annonce le nouveau design « colloïdes culinaires » du Laboratoire. …et rejoignez Le LaboClub. Venez découvrir et déguster en avant-première la future carte du FoodLab, créée par Thierry Marx. Ouvert aux membres mais aussi au public après inscription sur le site internet du Laboratoire ([email protected]), le LaboClub vous propose de collaborer à une expérience de création en participant à l’évaluation et à la construction de cette future carte qui sera mise en place pour l’ouverture prochaine du FoodLab (septembre 2008). Création sonore par Micha Vanony * Substance sous forme de liquide, de gel ou de poudre qui contient en suspension des particules suffisamment petites pour que le mélange soit homogène. 4 Biographies Thierry Marx Thierry Marx est l’un des chefs les plus créatifs de sa génération. Elu chef de l’année par le Guide Gault&Millau en 2006, il est l’un des plus célèbres défenseurs de la cuisine déstructurée. Chef de cuisine depuis 1996 au Relais-Château de Cordeillan-Bages, où il obtient une première étoile au guide Michelin, puis une deuxième en 1999, il prend la direction de l’établissement en 2000. Son parcours peu ordinaire a forgé le style d’un chef qui tend à déstructurer les matières. © Mathilde de l’Ecotais En 1980, à peine titulaire d’un CAP cuisine et d’un CAP pâtissier-confiseur-glacier, Thierry Marx fait son service militaire et s’engage au Liban. Marqué par cette expérience, il décide, lors de son retour en France, de consacrer sa carrière à son amour de la cuisine qui est pour lui le moyen de « partager et de toucher le cœur des autres ». Il se forme chez les plus grands : Ledoyen, Robuchon, Taillevent ; il obtient sa première étoile au guide Michelin au Roc en Val de Tours en 1988. Entre quelques escales à Sydney, il obtient une autre étoile au Cheval Blanc de Nîmes en 1991. Il s’évade ensuite à Singapour, et en 1996 décide de s’installer en Gironde d’où il s’échappe quelques fois pour des visites en Asie. Pendant la fermeture annuelle de l’établissement, il vit trois mois au Japon où il se ressource et cherche l’inspiration. Jérôme Bibette Jérôme Bibette est le fondateur et le directeur du Laboratoire Colloïdes et Matériaux Divisés à l'Ecole Supérieure de Physique et Chimie Industrielles de la ville de Paris (ESPCI) ; il y est également professeur. Il obtient l’agrégation de Chimie en 1986, une thèse de doctorat en physique en 1990, puis séjourne aux Etats-Unis comme chercheur post-doctorant au laboratoire de Exxon Research jusqu’en 1992. À son retour, il est nommé Professeur à l’Université de Bordeaux Ι et est détaché à l'Institut Universitaire de France dès 1994. © Bruno Cogez En 2000, il reçoit la médaille d’argent du CNRS, crée la même année la société ADEMTECH, qui fabrique des colloïdes magnétiques pour les biotechnologies ; en 2001 il s’installe à l’ESPCI. En 2004, il fonde avec des chercheurs américains et anglais, la société Raindance aux Etats-Unis qui développe des technologies révolutionnaires pour la génomique. Ses recherches portent globalement sur la physique et la chimie des colloïdes et des émulsions. Il a abordé ces systèmes complexes sous des aspects aussi variés que la synthèse, la thermodynamique et l’hydrodynamique ou encore l'étude des instabilités. Ses travaux se situent aux interfaces de la physique, de la chimie, et des biotechnologies. Jérôme Bibette a écrit deux livres (cf biographie page 15), une centaine d’articles dans des revues internationales et déposé une trentaine de brevets dont la plupart sont exploités dans des domaines allant de l’industrie routière au diagnostic médical. 5 Vivez l’expérience ! Première expérience du Laboratoire consacrée au fruit de la rencontre entre un chef étoilé et un physicien, l’exposition « Dans la Sphère de Thierry Marx et autre invention culinaire» est l’alchimie de deux façons de pénétrer et révéler la même réalité matérielle. La vision de Thierry Marx stimulée par celle de Jérôme Bibette a favorisé l’émergence d’une technologie unique, à la frontière de la gastronomie et la frontière de la science des matériaux : la gastronomie des colloïdes ou les colloïdes culinaires. La cuisine déstructurée de Thierry Marx L’art de Thierry Marx repose sur un concept singulier : la cuisine déstructurée. Sa création se décompose en trois phases : - la structure du produit (l’aliment brut, sans transformation) ; - la déstructuration de la matière brute ; - la reconstruction dans une forme contemporaine imaginée par le chef. La dernière étape est essentielle ; c’est elle qui inaugure les nouvelles sensations en bouche, ce que Thierry Marx aime appeler « les nouvelles émotions culinaires ». Partant de ce concept, Jérôme Bibette a mis au point, avec son équipe, une nouvelle technologie permettant d’encapsuler les solutions savoureuses de Thierry Marx sous forme de billes de la taille d’un œuf de saumon dont l’enveloppe est si fine, qu’elle est quasi imperceptible en bouche. Ainsi, l’explosion en bouche restitue la saveur de la recette. Plus l’enveloppe de la sphère est fine, plus la sensation est explosive et délicate. Thierry Marx à l’ESPCI © Bruno Cogez 6 L’exposition Pour comprendre cette expérience, Le Laboratoire propose de la partager avec le public. Conçu par Caroline Naphegyi (Directrice artistique du Laboratoire), le parcours de l’exposition permet d’appréhender tantôt par les sens, tantôt par le savoir, les dessous d’une cuisine « actuelle ». L’exposition commence avec l’espace de dégustation où le visiteur se délecte des recettes de Thierry Marx ; ou comment découvrir une autre approche du navet daikon, du homard à l’américaine et de la poire Belle Hélène. Chaque plat est présenté dans une bento box, une boîte-repas à trois compartiments issue de la tradition japonaise, qui permet de mieux appréhender la conception de la recette : la structure, la déstructuration et la reconstruction. « C’est une expérience singulière, indique Caroline Naphegyi, où sont exposés les secrets scientifiques de l’art culinaire d’un grand chef. L’exposition est restituée dans la bento box. C’est elle qui contient véritablement l’expérience accomplie de Thierry Marx et Jérôme Bibette». Le contenu de la bento box est assemblé sous les yeux du visiteur. Les billes de saveurs sont produites en direct.

Selected from among 107 Projects, it was that of Gustave Eiffel, an Entrepreneur, Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, both Engineers, and Stephen Sauvestre, an Architect, that was accepted.
