Les Capucins
On the edge of the Embrun rock, between Lake Serre-Ponçon and the Hautes-Alpes mountains, Les Capucins produces solo and group exhibitions and supports research and creative residencies. The programme is designed as a network with other art venues and in dialogue with local stakeholders, reflecting the issues facing society. Exhibitions are conceived in situ, produced to suit the location and in line with the history and specific characteristics of a rural and mid-mountain setting.

Programme
Assis debout dans mon lit à la lueur d’une chandelle éteinte, David Posth-Kohler
Ten years after his first solo exhibition, David Posth-Kohler brings together at Les Capucins a range of sculptural gestures—those of the tinkerer, the blacksmith, the puppeteer, the ceramist, and the costume maker. He creates assemblages of composite figures set within domestic architectures; their silhouettes form multiple bodies, at times caught in irresistible dances, at others absorbed in deep concentration.
MAGNANRAMA
Dedicated to Nathalie Magnan, a leading figure in feminism and the LGBTQI+ movement, the exhibition highlights the legacy of her struggles for inclusivity, cyberfeminism and a critical approach to the media.
Après le virage c'est chez moi
Bringing together five artists from the Hautes-Alpes region, the exhibition compares their artistic practices, nourished by an attachment to this territory.
