The laboratories are conceived as a space of exchange, research and experimentation around issues which, at the same time, interest in, pass through and go beyond the mere practice of drawing.
The objective here is to reconsider in a broader way "the body engaged in artistic practice of drawing as a privileged place for the elaboration of a sensitive knowledge". Taking place in a collective and multidisciplinary framework, these laboratories endeavour to deploy their investigations according to three main lines of research : |
- to see and to move (gaze, perception and gesture), in which we pay particular attention to what is always likely to slip away in our ability to perceive, feel or produce movement and gesture;
- the practice as a sensitive act, that is, as an act mobilizing both the desire and the faculties of the body to perceive, experience, imagine and perform;
- the trace, as always possible materialisation of a gesture, a thought, an imagined form or an image in the making.

Each of the research laboratories enables participants from both the artistic academic community (teachers, master’s students) as well as outside the artistic community (professionals, academics, researchers, general public, etc.) to interact in various configurations in order to bring together practitioners and non-practitioners, specialists and non-specialists…
However, all participants and practitioners have in common a field of specialization or interest that touches on the question of the body or the living (nature, living systems, etc.) as a category of knowledge and/or practice.
The laboratories are implemented once or twice a year, in a chosen place, allowing an intense working session collected over a few days.
