Guest at the 19 is a podcast produced by *Duu Radio in partnership with 19 Crac, Centre régional d’art contemporain de Montbéliard.

This episode tells the story not just of an event, but of a territory in motion, where links are created and woven over time. It’s a project led by le 19, Crac and the Pourquoi Pas ?! collective, at the request of the Centre socio-cultuelle la Lizaine. Anchored in the dynamics of Pays de Montbéliard Capitale Française de la Culture 2024, Bons baisers de Bethoncourt brings together art, Bethoncourt residents and common spaces. The story you’re about to hear was told at several meetings and gatherings in April, July and October 2024. It recounts the various episodes that the participants went through up to the revelation of the final work: a modular installation on which the children of the leisure center and their families will now be able to sunbathe.

Le 19 Crac would like to thank the speakers and the entire Pourquoi Pas? team: Marie Gresset, project manager, designer, Etienne Fressonnet, project manager, architect Diplomé d’Etat (D.E. ), Lucie Bulot, project manager, architect, Adrien Apoteker, project manager, architect DE and carpenter, Luce Renaud, intern, architecture student at Grenoble National School of Architecture (ENSAG), Marianne Reymond, intern, student at ENSAL and Laura Depussay, coordinator, as well as Nadia Aitkins (director), Annie Lautissier (co-president) and Nelly Bresson (family referent) of the association La Lizaine. We also salute the partners of the Neolia housing company, Stephane Legain and Kamel Gharbi, and the services of the Town of Bethoncourt. The artists and 19, Crac would particularly like to thank the local residents who helped make the project a reality.

A look back at
the concert-restitution co-conceived with the Conservatoire du Pays de Montbéliard. Students in the Conservatoire’s “Sound Exploration around Tierkreis” module, coordinated by Keiko Murakami, explore contemporary music and experiment with the musical materials of American composer Kurt Rohde. Based on the opera Newtown Odyssey he composed with artist Marie Lorenz, the young musicians in turn developed short arrangements linked to the exhibition.

Grace Gloria Denis’s work for the exhibition CUM PANIS aims to create a parallel between her research into the world of agriculture, the evolution of bread production and an interactive installation, where immersion is achieved through sound.
