In 2013, the Frac Franche-Comté settled into the Cité des Arts, a new building designed by Kengo Kuma in the heart of Besançon. Since then, it has presented 70 exhibitions featuring the work of over 540 artists.
Une décennie, a ten-volume publication, revisits this history through extensive visual documentation, along with writings by the exhibition curators. To underline the transdisciplinary dimension of the Frac's artistic and cultural vision, each volume, devoted to a year of exhibitions, is enriched by a fiction or poem reflecting a writer's imagination.
Un parfait équilibre by Mariette Navarro opens 2021.
