Mains d’Œuvres seeks to support contemporary art through a program of residencies for emerging artists in addition to a Exhibitions and Events Program. In placing the artists at the heart of its projects, Mains d’Œuvres encourages a dynamic relationship not only between the studio and the exhibition space, but also between different artistic disciplines and territories. Four exhibitions per year, including one individual exposition by a resident artist, allow the discovery of works produced on the site, put in perspective with works by recognized artists. The exhibitions provide a space of active reflection and communication either through related events (conferences, visits, encounters) or on a daily basis in welcoming visitors. In the spirit of Deleuzian double-reading—sensual and intellectual, specialist and non-specialist—Mains d’Œuvres is an experimental art space open to everyone.
