AH! OH! by Ricardo Basbaum and À votre contact, se confondre [At your contact, blending in] by Kelly Weiss are two exhibitions that share a certain ‘poetics of space’. Both explore plastic, conceptual and relational variations, resulting from a negotiation undertaken with the context of the art centre and its architecture. Based on a close observation of the ins and outs of the historic building, and of the movement and communication between its different parts, Kelly Weiss and Ricardo Basbaum took on the different types of space as playgrounds. She and he come then to certain kind of ‘agreements’.

AH! OH! and À votre contact, se confondre [At your contact, blending in] both respond to specific logics of scores and ‘mise en scène’. These are fluid, however, and open to the collaboration of the publics, who become the guarantors of the constant evolution and even reconstruction of the exhibitions themselves.

— Free admission.

In 2025, le 19, Centre régional d’art contemporain de Montbéliard, celebrates thirty years of exhibitions in the former “hangar” at 19, avenue des Alliés.

On this occasion, the 19 team wishes to celebrate, in 2025, with the public three decades of exhibitions, artistic projects, residencies, encounters, workshops, discoveries and collective experimentation.

Since its creation, the 19, Crac has been a local tool that designs its programming and brings it to life with and for the people who live there. It is a place for sharing, whose history must be passed on so that we can collectively build its future.

For this anniversary, the art center’s team is organizing a number of hospitable and convivial moments and situations throughout the year, drawing in particular on the continuation or reactivation of projects and partnerships carried out by the art center throughout its history.

In collaboration with le 19, the Art School of Belfort welcomes artist Olivia Hernaïz for a week of workshops with students. Discover the fruits of their labor at an evening event open to all.

During this week of workshops at the Art School, Olivia Hernaïz aims to raise students’ awareness of the encounter as research material, and of the role of the artist as social mediator, gathering the voices of others and allowing themselves to be surprised by their curiosity about the world.

Olivia Hernaïz is a Belgian-Spanish artist born in 1985. The artist initially studied law in Belgium and Argentina, then, while working as a copyright lawyer, graduated from La Cambre, École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels in Brussels.

Olivia Hernaïz’s work focuses on dialogue and narrative. By assembling materials as diverse as ideas from passers-by, abandoned houses, political logos, bank slogans and fables, the artist deconstructs collective beliefs in videos, installations, board games, parades and massage parlors, giving herself no plastic limits to serve her purpose.

Gifted with humor, fiction and a healthy dose of escapism, Olivia Hernaïz reformulates our future prospects on the bangs of today’s capitalist and patriarchal models.

The evening will take the form of a meeting and games.
— Thursday, February 27, 2025 at 6 p.m.
— Free admission.
— Art school of Belfort - G. Jacot - 2 avenue de l’Espérance, 90000 Belfort.
