Résonance events

LE PARTAGE DES EAUX is an open-air artistic trail that follows the GR7 on the Ardèche mountain for around a hundred kilometers. Since 2017, it has hosted contemporary works of art created by internationally renowned artists: Felice Varini, Gloria Friedmann, Olivier Leroi, Stéphane Thidet, Gilles Clément, Kôichi Kurita (2018), HeHe (2021), Henrique Oliveira (2023). All along the route, the "Mires" imagined by landscapers Gilles Clément and IL Y A and the chestnut furniture designed by designer Eric Benqué offer immersive stops in the landscape. The GPS imagined by the Toplamak collective (frédéric dumond, Anne de Sterk, Eric Watt) accompanies motorists from one work.

How can we reconnect housing with its territory by considering its specific characteristics and resources: its materials, its heritage richness, and its regional know-how?

The exhibition traces how the collective Anatomies d’Architecture took on this challenge during the experimental renovation project of a traditional house in Orne (Normandy): 0% concrete, 0% plastic membranes, 100% natural materials sourced from within 100 km of the site!

Dive into this adventure through large-format comic boards and interviews that highlight the industries and expertise surrounding the 8 materials used in this renovation: brick, black locust, Douglas fir, hemp, earth, chestnut, recycled cork, and reclaimed oak. Two years of field research were necessary to scientifically document this extraordinary renovation project.

An exhibition designed by the cooperative Anatomies d’Architecture, with the support of the Maison de l’Architecture de Normandie – le Forum, Les Grands Ateliers, Territoires pionniers, La Maison de l’Architecture Normandie, and the Region of Normandy.

Artists throughout history have always been visual storytellers, capturing the spirit of their time through drawing. From the past to the present day, drawing has played an essential role in understanding civilizations and continues to inspire contemporary artists.

This exhibition proposes to approach the medium of drawing under its multiple expressions and territories: it is never the simple execution of a project but is above all animated by a graphic energy. By bringing together works from the territories of drawing in motion, animation, and the field of visual arts this collaborative exhibition proposes graphic conversations often unpublished by abolishing all boundaries of time, styles, sectors, ecosystems and hierarchies. Exhibition realized in partnership with the FRAC Picardie, the MIYU gallery and the Claudine and Jean-Marc Salomon Collection.

In Résonance with the 2024 edition of the Lyon Biennale - Contemporary Art, L'attrape-couleurs has the pleasure of welcoming the artist Cédric Esturillo Cacciarella.

Hugo Pernet was born in 1983 in Paris. He lives and works in Dijon. An artist and poet, he has presented his work in numerous solo exhibitions, notably in galleries, but also in major institutions such as the Palais de Tokyo in Paris in 2009, the Mamco in Geneva in 2015, and the Frac Bourgogne in Dijon in 2022. His works are held in several public collections: Musée d’Art Contemporain de Lyon, Cnap, Frac Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Frac Bourgogne, and Frac Normandie. He is represented by the Valentin Gallery in Paris. He has published several books of poetry with Fissile, Série discrète, and Vanloo editions.

In his recent paintings, the representation of living beings takes on significant importance. For the Lacoux Contemporary Art Center, he is preparing a specific series of digital drawings inspired by fauna and flora (in the minimalist style that characterizes his work), which will be exhibited outside the building.

In Sarah Krespin's work copper's sheen adorns the cotton thread. Intertwined, they form into amorphous, ephemeral sculptures. At once flexible and indocile, dense and light, hesitant and imposing, her works of the "terrain du vague" (wasteland) display an elusive and fleeting presence.

Cut through meadows or take a shortcut. The exhibition by Saint-Etienne artist Franck Chalendard takes us on a journey from painting on canvas to painting in volume. At the Château-musée, plastic language, architecture, shapes and colors are superimposed in a renewed creativity.

In 2024, it's artist Florian de la Salle's turn to take over the raw space of Pile Pont Expo.

Plein Air, an open-air art trail, returns in 2024 as a biennial event, inviting nine artists to install monumental works in the Le Fayet spa park.

Feminine noun - a set of threads that cross with the warp threads, widthways, to make up a fabric; figuratively: that which forms the basis of the binding of an organised thing.

Between October ‘23 and June ’24, 180 residents of Feyzin, Vénissieux, Corbas and St-Fons got together to build a monumental work imagined by choreographer Jordi Galí. Together, people from 16 to 89 years old and from all walks of life, they created a weaving several metres long, for an outdoor installation exhibited at the Fort de Feyzin. A visual and audio exhibition accompanies the installation, tracing the original process of this creation and revealing the participants.

How do we look at the mountains today?

A source of inspiration and transformation, the mountain's materials, landscapes and uses are observed, magnified and worked on in singular ways in the works presented. Over the years, more than fifteen artists have been invited to Saint-Gervais. Painters, draughtsmen, photographers, sculptors, sound and video artists, they have sought to question what makes the mountains today: how do we look at these landscapes? What do they tell us about their past and their future? What images of the mountains can be produced to activate new imaginations? How do artists use the mountains as a laboratory for artistic experimentation, but also to highlight the changes that are taking place?

The public can discover Samuel Yal's artistic universe through a tour of the town, indoors and outdoors, featuring 5 works. An exhibition at Espace Larith completes the tour from 12 September to 19 October.
