Exhibition from October 4th, 2008
Active from 1969 to 1990, the group Présence Panchounette (composed of Christian Baillet, Pierre Cocrelle, Didier Dumay, Michel Ferrière, Jean-Yves Gros, Frédéric Roux, Jacques Soulillou) started to become known by actions, pamplets and “performances” where there is a mix of humour and subversion. Soon, their work would focus on the re-evaluation of modernism, of avant-garde and its rites. This retrospective exhibition, the first to be devoted to the group, is displayed in several places in downtown Bordeaux.
From June 14 to August 31st, 2008
Catalogue
At the occasion of this exhibition, the CAPC is publishing a “book” on Présence Panchounette. It includes a selection of their works, memories and testimonies of people such as Didier Arnaudet, Xavier Douroux, Eric Fabre, Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux, Catherine Millet, Guy Tortosa, Anne Tronche and an unpublished collection of documentary photographs.
The pair of Australian artists under the name of A Constructed World will be present for a whole year at the CAPC with a project encompassing workshops, meetings, events, artists, art-lovers and the general public. Various notions will be invented to liberate the power of speech and to transform relationships with art and the museum.

How do artists draw from popular culture the necessary resources to test the limits of art? How do they attempt to break away from the experts/beginners split to reposition the importance of the role of the beholder in the perception of artistic works? This innocent question of “taste” masks a much more important issue, that of art as a means of emancipation, of the individual responsibility of the artist and of the spectator.
From June 14 to September 14, 2008, Nave of the CAPC
arc en rêve centre d’architecture, bordeaux + CAPC musée d’art contemporain Starting from the notion that any human activity is unforeseeable by nature, the architect and theoretician, Yona Friedman, put the emphasis as from the late 1950’s on a form of architecture and urbanism based on the experience of the end-users. This exhibition, organised with arc en reve centre d’architecture, gives an overview of a concept which is today once again at the forefront.
The pair of Australian artists under the name of A Constructed World will be present for a whole year at the CAPC with a project encompassing workshops, meetings, events, artists, art-lovers and the general public.

Max Boufathal creates objects which appear to concentrate energy. He dreams up human beings, perfected by prostheses, who appear to attain a new divinity. Return to a mythical world where hybrids or shamans once again communicate with the forces of the universe.
44°50’54 N /0°34’19 W is the generic name of series of projects of young artists whose production is supported by the CAPC.
The subject of this exhibition is the fascination of several generations of artists for Brian Wilson, the legendary composer of the Beach Boys. His life and his music become a prism through which the developments of the art since the 1960’s can be seen, in particular through his relationship with popular culture and the social and urban context of California. Art thus becomes a way of revisiting the contradictions between the smooth, popular image of the Beach Boys and the complex and extraordinarily original musical ambition of Brian Wilson.
