Driven by the transmission of knowledge, at le19M the creative process tales flight through the passing on of a gesture, the echo of a story, the imprint of a memory, or the power of place. The works on display, whether painted out of friendship, filmed for posterity, photographed during travels, sculpted as a legacy, or embroidered according to tradition, become living symbols of these exchanges, weaving a subtle bridge between personal memories and collective narratives.
In this context, the exhibition Trouver son monde highlights unique collaborations between art houses and young creators, illustrating the ambition of la Galerie du 19M: to preserve a living heritage while exploring new creative territories.The embroiderers of the Atelier Montex and the Maison Lesage, the Paloma grand flou workshop, the featherworker Lemarié, and the Atelier Lognon pleater have thus combined their savoir-faire with the creative energy of emerging artists.
Based on a text by Anne Bourrassé, independent exhibition curator, author and member of the editorial committee of Trouver son monde.
These partnerships have given rise to a genuine dialogue between artisans and designers, combining ancestral techniques and bold approaches to reinvent the Métiers d’art and reveal them in a resolutely contemporary light
On the occasion of the exhibition Trouver son Monde, la Galerie du 19M invites artist Elea Jeanne Schmitter to conceive an embroidery workshop in collaboration with Atelier Montex.
The public is invited to discover the art of embroidery while bringing to life the artist’s design, which questions and reinterprets the Pioneer plaques. Stitch by stitch, each participant contributes to enriching the embroidery with what they would like to leave to future generations.
Together, they collectively rewrite what defines us today and what will shape tomorrow.
What Remains workshop is only accessible as part of Trouver son monde exhibition tour.
