For the past 8 editions, the Frac Weekend (WEFRAC) has been the national highlight of the network of regional contemporary art funds, a weekend during which the 22 Fracs are in full swing, offering a particularly dense and festive programme to the public!
The WEFRAC 2024 highlights an operation run by each Frac in its region. In Ile-de-France: Flash collection and et Des futurs proches, a creative and research residency with artist Laura Burucoa in Seine-Saint-Denis.
And a special WEFRAC programme at Le Plateau:
WEFRAC workshops: practical art workshops linked to the exhibition for everyone!
The modelling workshop Un contenant, with artist-ceramist si jeune montagne, invites you to explore the fusion between the sacred and the everyday through the creation of a symbolic object inspired by Ėglė Budvytytė’s exhibition De sang chaud et de terre (warm blooded and earthbound).
- Saturday 16.11.24 at 3pm for young audiences
A container – Time capsule
Families model time capsules by incorporating a clay object. These fictitious capsules are destined to be discovered by an archaeologist 1,000 years from now, who will use them to carry out her research.
- Sunday 17.11.24 at 3pm for adults
A container – Purifying box
The public use clay to make a box designed to free themselves of what’s inside: traumatic memories, obsessions, bad habits. This container is used to empty and purify oneself. The decorations on the box symbolise the elements to be purified, using natural materials such as salt, rice or pozzolan. Once the box is dry, each person immerses it in water, where it dissolves.
