Surprising catastrophe

The "Étonner la catastrophe" exhibition, whose title is borrowed from "Les Misérables", brings together five young artists: June Balthazard, Mégane Brauer, Mathilde Chavanne, Hippolyte Cupillard and Jordan Paillet, all of whom studied at the Institut supérieur des beaux-arts de Besançon (ISBA). Each, in his or her own way, embraces the major themes running through Victor Hugo's work. Through their work, they evoke childhood and youth, prey to current environmental, societal and political issues. For each of the artists in this exhibition, a dialogue is proposed with a work by another artist in the Frac collection.
