A project combining urban planning, urban art, visual arts, literature and graphic design.

Tuesday, September 12
Launch of the operation with a lecture by Arzhel Prioul and Mathieu Tremblin at 6:30pm at ENSAM (Anphi 1).
At the same time, white cards will be sent to around fifty artists, and the following day two groups of ENSAM students from Sète and Montpellier will scout the billboards.
In October, once the completed boxes had been returned, the students reproduced them to scale.
Wednesday, November 22 at 9 a.m.
All the posters collaged will be listed and located on an online digital map, and then published in the form of a publication featuring an account of the poster collage experience.
→ more information

The title of the project is the number of the article in the Environmental Code that guarantees freedom of expression in the public space, by requiring the provision of public display panels.
Two artists, Arzhel Prioul and Mathieu Tremblin, propose a protocol for taking over these free billboards by sending postcards in the form of carte blanche to other artists. After identifying the appropriate panels and contexts for the works, the completed cards are then reproduced to scale and displayed. The public space is altered, but it’s a very ephemeral art form, since anyone can cover these panels freely.

Orange wrappers – an object of graphic design research.

Association de l’art modeste pour le Miam (Musée International des Arts Modestes) et la Fenêtre

Exposition, Residence, All public, Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, Sète Agglopôle Méditerranée

Research and creation residency
in Sète and Montpellier, aimed at graphic designers, researchers in language and communication sciences, theorists, historians and curators specializing in the fields of graphic design, visual culture and popular culture, around several collections of citrus fruit wrapping paper.
The prize-winner will develop his/her approach with a view to publication, and will support specific mediation and promotion initiatives.

The residency project
Orange wrappers, an object for research in graphic design and popular culture.
Orange wrappers were part of the popular cultural heritage of the 20th century. They were produced into the 1980s, when the use of fungicides and wax caused them to fall into disuse.
In 2022, Pascal Casson donated his collection of nearly 20,000 orange wrappers to MIAM. In 2023, this collection was presented as part of the “Modestes et Appliqués” exhibition, co-produced by MIAM and La Fenêtre, who now intend to showcase this exceptional collection once again as part of a research and creative residency aimed at continuing and extending the conceptual approach initiated by Hervé di Rosa and MIAM, while at the same time contributing to the current dynamic development of graphic design research.

The dates
Application deadline: September 30, 2023
Jury: The jury will deliberate during the second half of October 2023. It will be made up of representatives from MIAM, La Fenêtre and invited experts. Following the jury, successful candidates will be notified immediately by telephone. Other candidates will be notified by e-mail.

A real bean feast Sit down and tuck in! The project invites you to immerse yourself in the uniting, festive and social experience of Mediterranean cuisine. Set off on a quest for recipes from those who cook under the watchful eye of a photographer to document this culinary odyssey. Tales compiled into one grand fictional narrative written by Rémi Chechetto and served up by actors and inhabitants of the Gély district in Montpellier and Ile de Thau in Sète. Amid steaming pans and the sounds of cutlery, the stories of individuals criss-cross, weaving one grand collective story.
