The constitution of the documentary fund The fund currently contains over 130 artists spanning several generations and representing a variety of horizons and practices (drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, sound, multimedia). Each year new artists retained by the selection committee join this catalog of artists providing a privileged point of view on artistic creation in the PACA region. The selection committee is made up of 6 to 8 professsionals from the contemporary art world (institutionals, galerists, art critics, artists, collectors). The committe meets once a year, in the spring, to examine the proposed press-books. Applications and dossiers are submitted to the Documents d’artistes team Artist files Each file is elaborated with the artist in order to retranscribe his work in the most accurate manner. Reproductions of works are often accompanied by exhibition views, descriptive notes, animated sequences, video and sound excerpts.
