The project initiated by Patricia Couvet interested in cultural heritage representations inherited from the past and on heritage we are currently building. The residency at ICA allowed a first step of research in the project that she will lead during the school year. How contemporary artists could create new representations within art heritage? Talking about contemporary issues in Heritage throw back, such as feminism, ecologie, gentrification etc., seems possible by reaching new perspectives in archives research. This approach is taking in consideration specific national contexts. On one hand cultural archives afford possibilities for re-interpretations and on the other hand artists overcomes the lack of interest from political institutions. By presenting artists from different sphere of Europe, the aims is to consider local context in a wider global practice. This introduction will be follow by Samuel Arnaud’s presentation about the project’s publishing shape and question on formal possibilities of art edition. The discussion is open and we are looking forward to hear your interventions.
