Programme
La Gauchère
La Gauchère is a long-term research and creative project by graphic designer Marion Cachon, exploring a blind spot in design: the place given to left-handed people in everyday systems and uses. From handwriting to the most common tools, practices are largely designed by and for right-handed users, relegating left-handedness to the status of an anomaly. By embracing this imbalance, the project reveals the critical and creative potential of clumsiness, error and deviation.
The exhibition presents a left-handed calligraphy developed by the artist, posters created for the CACN, as well as trials, variations and unfinished forms, shown as an integral part of the process. It also explores the cultural and symbolic representations of the left hand, historically associated with fault or irregularity. The project is accompanied by a book co-published with the Artothèque de Caen and will later travel to La Fenêtre art centre in Montpellier as part of the GraphiMs festival.
