PROGRAM
• From 2pm: La grande braderie des éditions du 19, Crac: an array of art books made in Montbéliard await you at free prices!
1919, we’re listening: take part in the art center’s next podcast by sharing your anecdotes, memories and exhibition experiences with us!
• 4:30 pm: 30th anniversary party! Fanny Maugey defines herself as a “plastissière”, creating participatory culinary installation-sculptures in which patisserie integrates her plastic work. Food becomes a pretext for encounters and conviviality, nourishing aesthetic, political and multi-sensory reflections.
• 5:30pm: Glitch, an accordion solo by Emilie Škrijelj, inspired by her research into turntables, modular synthesizers and field recording, takes you right into the folds of her instrument! Somewhere between percussion and electroacoustic matter generator, she takes the accordion into the abstract territory of electronics by manipulating the bellows and exploring its extremities.

The summer school, a meeting format aimed at artists and art professionals, but not only, explores polymorphous practices that intrude into everyday life. Echoing the Bric-à-brac exhibition, the summer school will explore the concept of the total work of art with philosopher Hassan Afnakkar, and offer a hands-on experience of tinkering with and hijacking everyday objects in a bending workshop led by 3615 Señor.
For the occasion, discover the Mobilo, the mobile outgrowth of the Bac à sable #3 exhibition!
— Wednesday, July 2
PROGRAM
• At 19, Crac from 11am to 12pm.
Lecture by Hassan Afnakkar, Total work of art.

— Free admission.
• Maison des Associations, Bavans, 2pm to 5pm.
Le Mobilo, the mobile extension of the Bric-à-brac exhibition, is on the move, delivering fanzines, videos and other surprising objects by the artist duo Toxoplasma.

• Musical board bending workshop, led by 3615 Señor.
Circuit bending consists in opening a small existing electronic circuit and seeing how to intervene on it, by adding buttons, potentiometers, light sensors, or simply our fingers… 3615 Señor invites you to open musical greeting cards and transform their music into unknown, buzzing sounds. You’ll go home with a little experimental synth that will brighten up your evenings until the batteries run out!
— From age 10 - Workshop limited to 10 people.
— 1 bis rue Champerriet, Bavans
— Free, with registration on 03 81 92 64 25 or 06 52 45 04 50 or directly at the reception desk of the Centre Social Maison Pour Tous, 41 Grande rue, Bavans.

During the vacations, you’re the artist! Why bother buying things when you’ve already got everything you need? At least, that’s what artists Akay & Olabo think, for whom the city is a vast field of raw materials. For 4 days, put yourself in the shoes of a little inventor, brimming with imagination to create the most unusual objects. Use whatever you can get your hands on and invent machines that work, roll… or, who knows, maybe fly?
— Tuesday July 8 to Friday July 11, 2pm to 5pm.
— Plastic arts workshop for 7-12 year-olds.
— 30€, by reservation at 03 81 94 13 47 or mediation@le19crac.com.
Alix spent the night at the art center. But when she woke up, disaster struck! On the 19th, Crac was transformed into a construction site, with dozens of cars blocking the way. Alix is trapped… To escape, there’s only one solution: balance on a rope stretched over the obstacles. Be careful not to fall, or you’ll break your neck! Help Alix get across by making her tightrope-walking costume. Distribute the weight evenly to maintain balance.
— Sunday, August 24, 3.30 pm to 5 pm.
— Plastic arts workshop for 7-12 year-olds - part of the Festival des Mômes.
