Exhibitions
One aim of the Centre's programme is interaction between Contemporary art and other disciplines, notably the theatre, dance and cinema, and also the social sciences: economics, philosophy, anthropology, etc. Envisaging the art scene as an essential part of the broader social, political and cultural context, the programme includes solo and group shows, publications, encounters, screenings and performances. Adamantly forward-looking, it hinges on a performative view of art that gives pride of place to process and experimentation.
Not just exhibitions
In addition to its exhibition programme, the Centre for Contemporary Art promotes rapprochement between the visual and performing arts with its performance festival and an artist's residency. It designs projects in tandem with National Theatre and Movie Theatre, and with numerous local and international partners. It also develops editions in relation with the artists and provides innovative guided tours of its exhibitions devised by cultural mediators or artists.
An atypical venue
The Centre's events take place in 7 exhibition rooms – a total area of 600 m² – in the oldest section of the site: a mid-18th century Brie region farmhouse whose spectacular framing still remains in place. Sometimes the events also find their way into the Ferme du Buisson's theatre, its cinema, its outdoor spaces, and various off-site venues.
