which obliges us

As it does every year, the Villa Arson now exhibits the previous year's graduating class. The aim is to provide these young artists with all the professional conditions they need to put on what will certainly be their first exhibition outside the school.

"The young artists graduating in 2022 whose work is presented here have one thing in common: an interdependence with each other, with the ecosystem that is a school, with an art world in which they will be players, in a globalized economy with which we are all entangled.

Sophie Lapalu, exhibition curator
