Quartier Libre is a micro-library located inside le Labo. Designed as a research and inspiration tool for artists. It brings together books, catalogues, publications, journals, and technical resources mainly in French (you can find our catalogue here), prioritizing circularity and eco-responsibility
This year, our silent auction invites you to discover Microcuriosities. For one evening, let yourself be surprised by an exhibition where each intimate and inventive work reveals its poetry and originality. Small-format creations that prioritize sensitivity and connection, for a warm and human experience, far removed from the spectacular.
