WHERE?
Meeting point at the entrance
The emblematic Daily Dérives, a programme of conversations led by leading figures from the art world, will again welcome this year’s visitors who are eager for expert guidance and the sharp eye of the invited professionals. Each « dérive » remains true to the Situationist meaning of the term, to wander and be drawn “by the attractions of the terrain” (Guy Debord). These unique moments warmly invite visitors to discover the exhibition through the eyes of an expert in a more intimate setting, thus giving rise to invaluable insights and affirming each person in their relationship to contemporary art.
Cédric Fauq is chief curator at the Capc musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux. Previously, he was curator at the Palais de Tokyo (Paris) and Nottingham Contemporary (United Kingdom). He also develops independent projects and recently worked with Matthieu Laurette on his retrospective exhibition at the MAC VAL. He teaches at the HEAD (Geneva) and Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne University.
