centre d'art contemporain de Malakoff

In 2019, the art centre open a new residence, in a former grocery store of 200sqm. Every year it lunches a residence program, dedicated to authors working in collective (visual artists, performers, writers, curators, theoretician, etc.) willing to invest a space open to its environment.

The art centre runs its program between two places : la maison des arts, space of exhibition, and la supérette, dedicated to researches and experimentations. Every year the art centre receives at the supérette artists collective of creators or researchers across disciplines. Dedicated to research and experimentation, this residence program aims to support and accompany collective’s project and research that pays particular attention to its environment at the scale of the neighborhood and the city : its inhabitants, associations, such as its social and cultural actors and structures. The collective dimension is considered here in its broadest sense and encompasses a variety of possible forms: grouping of authors who develop a common artistic practice, association within an independent structure for the pooling of activities or means, ad hoc and / or temporary collaboration on specific projects. The residency also aims to question the collective's thinking with the territory in which the supérette is located, by involving its users. The notions of participation, interaction, collaboration or co-creation are therefore called upon in the residency project according to free formats to think about and experiment, integrating an eco-responsible reflection of art and its practice.
