Nathalie Hocquart
Where did your past life?
I was born, spend and spent my first years in the region of Nancy, France. When I had finished my training, I went to New York, where I developed a love for the arts through the many galleries and museums I have visited. I was moved especially by the art at the Guggenheim and MOMA (Museum of Modern Art). Art was everywhere; in the established venues and the "street art" in the streets and in the subways. I returned to France and had a daughter, Margaux, with a friend of youth ness. Together we produced events in places in Nancy. We have to provide everything from food to music, a total environment for opportunities. When my daughter was three years old, I traveled with her to the Caribbean. We spent six months in Martinique and Guadeloupe to start their training before returning to France. After returning to France, I managed to eat and learned many aspects of this industry, and to develop a love for fine food. That's when I would start the business successfully in many years.
What business was it?
I created and macaroons under the name produces Margotine for fine establishments. I named it after my daughter Margaux, who later joined the business. It was great work. I would create a lot of varieties and designs of this sweet in my lab and it sold well all over France. We went on fine food exhibitions which was great fun, as I was my design skills to put in a position beautiful environments work to create display our products. It included my beloved decoration and as well as maintaining the best food quality to create. It was hard work, but it paid with international success from. We have the SIAL International Expo and soon were for sale around the world, from Hong Kong to New York. My daughter worked with me and how the company has gone global and grew, it became more difficult and consumes all of our time. We made a lot of money, but did not have time to spend it! It was too big. It was too much.

When did you visit Bali?
I came for the first time for three weeks in 06 on holiday in Bali and I always came back. Several years ago I bought land in Canggu, but because of the high cost of building I sold it after two years and have this store here on Jl. Kunti Dua. The original idea was a grocery store. It was built to make the dough, so it was a pastry kitchen in the back and the front was a small cafe. My daughter's boyfriend came to work with me as a pastry chef and as my partner. never opened the grocery store for a number of problems I will not go in! I kept the premises, while I went on with my life. Then came Sophie!
Is that when Wide Open Space beg a?
Definitely! Sophie is the driving force of our venture. She is a beautiful and talented woman. Initially they wanted to use the space for their work around beauty and anti-aging processes they do in other places as well as a studio for her work and works of artist friends.
But it is also an artist. Sophie has amazing collages and we share a love of art. We decided the metamorphosis of space to start an artistic center to create. We tore down walls and painted everything. We changed the facade. We continue to constantly here to change the environment along with the art and artists. The space is open to change, as the art. Artists wanting us began a part of our site to be approaching. We want to be not just another gallery. We want to create a community of artists who work together and exchange ideas. Our first opening took place on 12 December 2013, with six artists from different techniques and backgrounds from all over the world. We have very successful openings had three large exhibitions. Sophie is an integral force here. It has an energy that is contagious and to support a passion for creativity in art.
