Stratégie pour combler un vide

Presented in the former Cordeliers Church, an exceptional venue made available by the City of Avignon, this exhibition testifies to the City's invaluable support for emerging contemporary artists. It represents a first step towards professionalization for these artists, offering them the conditions for an ambitious public presentation of their work. Through diverse practices and media, the participants explore gaps, flaws, spaces of uncertainty, and the possibilities they open up. Their works offer a range of sensitive strategies for inhabiting the world, questioning it, and reinventing it. This event also resonates with the unique context of July in Avignon, echoing the artistic energy generated by the Avignon Festival and the presence of audiences from around the world.
It affirms the essential place of contemporary creation in public debate and in the construction of critical perspectives on our era.
At a time when artistic and expressive freedoms are sometimes being questioned or censored in different parts of the world, supporting emerging artists is a major cultural and civic act.

The exhibition brings together the works of Ayla Aktan, Candice Carpentier, Hyeonbin Lim, Marie-Garance Massal, Clémence Petit and Louise Plasterie, with the participation of Margot Hermin to be confirmed.

“Strategies to fill a void” thus invites the public to discover a new generation of artists and to share, in the heart of Avignon, a moment of creation, dialogue and cultural democracy.
