To celebrate spring in the midst of the exhibitions, on the 19th, Crac invites you to a day dedicated to objects: their everyday uses, their memory, their sounds, their recycling, and their artistic reinterpretations. A full day with guest artists, musicians, and researchers.
✱ 10:00 am–12:30 pm: Home Parties Workshop
Artist–flea trader Georges J. Ayrault offers an anti-waste workshop with a trendy, decorative twist. Create a wall lamp using old containers: Tupperware, glasses, trays, carafes… With the artist, select shapes, play with colors, and craft a lighting piece with a strong personality. The lamps will be exhibited in the afternoon… and you’ll take yours home afterward!
— Adult workshop, free with registration via

— Ongoing stand starting Tuesday, March 24.
Sound Workshop Presentation
Discover the project led by Arthur Marche with CE2 (4th-grade) students, in collaboration with the education department of 19, Crac. A sound story narrated and recorded using object-based sound effects, inspired by the exhibitions.
✱ 2:30 pm: Round Table on the Life and Use of Our Objects
with Jeanne Guien and Georges J. Ayrault, moderated by Hélène Zanin.
An independent philosopher and researcher specializing in the history of obsolescence, disposable products, and consumerism, Jeanne Guien is the author of Consumérisme à travers ses objets, a book analyzing our everyday overconsumption through ordinary objects.
Georges J. Ayrault, artist-researcher, develops a practice based on a collection of salvaged forms and materials found in second-hand markets. With both affection and concern, they reshape these objects, which become the main resource for installations, sculptures, and spatial works at varying scales.
Hélène Zanin, an art historian specializing in 19th-century studies and a senior lecturer in contemporary art at the University of Franche-Comté (Besançon), has conducted research on the biography of objects and co-edited a publication on these issues for Cahiers de l’École du Louvre.
✱ 4:00 pm: Concert & Presentation
by the Montbéliard Conservatory
Students from the Sound Exploration module of the Montbéliard Conservatory will present a creation inspired by the works of Silvana Mc Nulty. Silvana offers a new perspective on everyday objects by giving them unexpected meanings. The instrumentalists adopt the same approach, exploring the sound possibilities of their instruments “in a way different from usual.”
Project led by Keiko Murakami
in collaboration with 19, Crac.
✱ 4:30 pm: Snack
Lovingly prepared by the 19, Crac team!
