Programme
Intercisio, Philippe Decrauzat
Through painting, film and installation, Philippe Decrauzat explores perception and optical phenomena, drawing on 20th-century abstraction and Op Art. An immersive experience in which patterns, light and scale disrupt the space and place the viewer at the heart of it all.
Biche et Sara dans "Le cours des choses", Brice Dellsperger
Through a new film in his Body Double series, Brice Dellsperger replays cult scenes from the TV show Dynasty in an immersive, multi-screen video installation. Filmed in the Frac gallery, these sequences become a burlesque choreography in which gender, cross-dressing, and pretence reveal the artificiality of media images. Echoing this, the exhibition Boucles, bricoles et miroirs, presented at the Frac Occitanie, unveils set pieces used in the artist’s films and presented as fetishes.
Une pensée pour les familles des vitrines, Huz & Bosshard
A showcase of the graphic design work by Huz & Bosshard, who have been designing posters, flyers, and booklets for the Mrac Occitanie for over ten years. These ephemeral items turn into artworks, revealing the collaborative nature of graphic design in the service of exhibitions and the public.
