Sachiko Abe / Cut Papers
CPM, STUDIO / SUN. 11H-12H30, 14H-15H30 & 16H30–18H
Enveloped in whitenes, Sachiko Abe is tirelessly and methodically cutting up thin strips of paper. Time passes and gradually materializes in the accumulation of the ribbons birthed by the movement of scissors. A magical, intimate scene untroubled by any sound, except that of the blades against paper.

CPM, SALLE DE CONFÉRENCE /SUN. 11H-12H30, 14H30–16H & 17H-18H
On-site registration
A solo performance for a single spectator. Five minutes face to face. A salt-covered table. Indirect lines of sight, curved lines of gestures… A brief moment of choreography which, like ebb and flow, reinvents itself in the trace and the erasure of the movement.
Marianne Mispelaëre / Dimanche
CPM / SUN. from 10H30
Daily, drawing lines on a white piece of paper, sliding the real towards a mental space… The artist demonstrates here a familiar practice: withdrawal into the self in order to open onto the world.
Association Inuksuk (Espace culturel inuit) / String game Workshop
Adults and children aged 8 and over (max. 25 persons)
FRAC / SUN. 14H
Reservation required:
Among the Inuit people, the game is not just a child’s game… Based on the imitation of simple gestures, it’s also a way of learning. This ludic workshop is an occasion to familiarize ourselves with geometric figures representing daily Inuit objects. You might discover a new passion in the string game!
Jiri Kovanda / One above another
FRAC / SUN. 11H45 & 16H30
Equipped with spools of thread, two performers redesign the space of the courtyard. Weaving, knotting, splitting, diverting… under their precise gestures, its appearance (and use!) evolves with the lines.

Esther Ferrer / Le chemin se fait en marchant
CPM, FRAC & PUBLIC SPACE / SUN. from 14H
Cartography without a ruler or pencil… At the same time, scotch tape in hand, the artist and performer systematically survey the spaces, the one, of FRAC, and the other, of the Centre Pompidou-Metz. Marked by the adhesive tape, their paths continue into the city in order to finally meet.
Aurélie Pertusot / Hôte-couture
PLACE SAINT LOUIS / DIM.
A short red line along the façades of buildings enters into the hallways and apartments… In the age of social networking, this project realized in collaboration with local residents materializes, in the form of a satin ribbon, the sometimes distant relations among neighbors.
Aurélie Pertusot / En ligne
FRAC / SUN. from 14H30
There is no pencil or ribbon here. It’s a line made of shadows which slowly appear on the wall with the changing light of day.
Marco Godinho / Endless time searching #2
FRAC / SUN. from 15H
Pencil in hand, the artist tirelessly traces on the walls circular movements which overlap and tangle, until the lead is gone. A hand-to-hand combat with time…
Jean-Christophe Norman / La condition tropicale
IN THE CITY/ SUN.
Writing with chalk on the ground, on the street, and on the pavement in order to capture the city in motion. Contrasting the slowness of this act with the frenzied activities of the city. The passage turn into effort, fatigue, endurance; writing becomes imprint, line, trajectory.
