(Made Anywhere) responds to a need for encounters around objects that are sources of inspiration, creation, collection and observation; a decompartmentalization of artistic practices that sometimes escape the market and the institution. From research to archiving, creation takes free and inspiring forms, often editorialized: iconography, collections, recordings, notations, publications or archives.
