Programme
Climate Life. Sensitive Stories from Private Collections
This 8th edition of the “De leur temps” Triennial gathers more than 130 works from 70 French and international private collections, spanning painting, video, sculpture, performance and installation. Since 2004, the Triennial has highlighted committed collectors and reflected contemporary sensibilities.
This edition questions the climate amid ecological, political, and social upheavals, presenting the collection as a living ecosystem and inviting reflection on memory, preservation, and transformation.
Africa, Louisa Babari
In 2024, the [mac] acquired Louisa Babari's work, Journal of an Algerian Student in Moscow, a silent slideshow composed of documentary and personal images drawn from the artist's family archives. We wanted to delve deeper into the artist's work by entrusting her with the experimental space of the [mac]room. Photographic, collage, and sound works address the ancient world, especially the Berber and Numidian civilisations, within the Algerian context.
In partnership with the Passages Contemporary Art Centre in Troyes and art centre Rhizome in Algiers.
