17.10.20 > 30.01.21 | SURPRISE !… ou le premier jour du reste de ma vie – Anciens Abattoirs (Be)

Since the launch in 2008 of Digital and Sound Emergences, a program to support art school student projects, Transcultures has developed close ties with the IDM (Image in the middle) section of the school. of the visual arts of Mons (now Arts2), and its responsible professor Jean-François Octave. Each year, several IDM students were selected following the Emergences workshops offered by Transcultures with and at Arts2 and then broadcast at the international festival of sound arts City Sonic but also in various partner events of Transcultures in Belgium and internationally.

This exhibition, which brings together works by ex Arts2 students (who have often developed an interesting professional career) and current IDM students also shows – as also does the publication Le premier jour du reste de ma vie – The first day of the rest of my life, edited by La Lettre Volée and Arts2, of which Transcultures and the European Pepinieres of Creation are also partners – in a dynamic, demanding, transhistoric and undisciplinary way – an approach that also brings together Transcultures and IDM / Arts2.
