What story can an art collection comprising different works by several artists tell us? How, by whom, and for whom does this collection exist? What is its history? Who is telling this story?
Bringing together the works that make up the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne Collection, whose only shared point is their years of acquisition, is a challenge. Will they resonate with each other, generate a dialogue, or, on the contrary, culminate in dissonance? What is certain is that this unknown territory, born of this shared exhibition, will only exist once, for a specific time frame. Surveying this sensitive geography, Giving carte blanche to impressions, following intuitions and possible connections, interpreting the silences and empty spaces between the works results in the construction of a free narrative.
And yet, we as individuals are no strangers to the practice of collecting. However, we may need to dig deep into our memory to recall the gestures that were once so important and now forgotten by most. Searching, collecting, finding, studying, classifying, and admiring ... a pebble, a shell, a stamp, a badge, an image... This exhibition allows us to discover for the first time a new part of the FRAC Collection, or a treasure that belongs to us all.
ATELIERS
Ateliers de pratique artistique

Animés par l’équipe demédiation du FRAC, ces ateliers se composent d’une visite pédagogique de l’exposition en cours, suivie d’un atelier de pratique en lien avec la thématique abordée.
Ces ateliers varient chaque semaine et permettent de s’initier à différentes techniques : de la peinture à la vidéo numérique, en passant par le collage ou la photographie. Ils sont également l’occasion de découvrir de façon ludique les multiples facettes de l’art contemporain sans oublier la fierté de rentrer chez soi avec sa propre création artistique !
