Lunch ⁄ Join the 19 Club and preview the exhibitions in the presence of the artists!
Meet the Assemble collective at a convivial lunch within their exhibition. This get-together is reserved for
19 Club members who want to go behind the scenes of exhibition production.
— Membership of the 19 Club is €15/year, with many advantages all year round.
Opening of the next exhibition by the Assemble collective, “Blood in the Machine”, free entry from 6:30 p.m.
Since 2010, Assemble has been involved in artistic creation, from architecture to design, and visual arts, the collective chooses cooperative and dynamic projects. The aim is to create artistic projects based on a territory and its history, and driven by a deep desire to co-create.
Founded on social values, advanced technical skills and a certain aesthetic taste, Assemble makes each of its projects an event that “brings to life the distance that exists between people and their environment”.
With Blood in the Machine, the collective is pursuing this impulse through the industrial memory of 19, CRAC and the “rurban” context specific to the city of Montbéliard. It also initiates a reflection on the history of technological and craft processes and the absence, ultimately, of human dynamics and sensitivities. The project therefore revolves around the re-humanisation of production spaces, organised around exchanges, experiments and trust.
— Free admission.
The Assemble collective sees the art centre as a place for production, design and exchange.
Come and meet them all summer long at their collaborative workshops.

The Botanique Sabari project explores the notion of shared cultural heritage, family heritage and personal heritage. Through a series of encounters, young people from all over the world welcomed at the Centre Éducatif de la Grange La Dame reflect on the cultural substrates inherent in their origins. They’re back at 19, Crac, which they visited a year ago as part of their project, and this time they’re exhibiting there and telling you about their experience.

L’École d’été, a series of meetings for artists and art professionals, explores the practice of sabotage and questions its potential to transform our institutions. In keeping with the exhibition Blood in the Machine by the Assemble collective, on show at the art centre, the Summer School will be looking at practices of “common use” with Mathilde Chénin, artist-researcher; the history of tools in the Montbéliard conurbation with Pierre Lamard, historian; and putting technological hacking practices into practice with a workshop run by Assemble in conjunction with the Atelier Paysan. From understanding the history of local production methods to investigating the bioregion and reflecting on collective intelligence, the Summer School aims to share the region’s resources and look to the future.
— 18th July from 11am to 4pm: Mathilde Chénin, Le Commun par l’Usage, an introduction & Assemble with the Payson workshop
