This spring, Le Ch\u00e2teau \u2013 Centre d\u2019Art Contemporain et du Patrimoine d\u2019Aubenas is launching a new season that explores the deep connections between stories, traces and imaginations. From the potato, a driving force behind underground and popular stories, to the prison memories revealed by Nicolas Daubanes, these two new exhibitions weave a dialogue between past and present, between modest gestures and narrative visions. These exhibitions invite us to take a fresh look at what surrounds us: materials, archives, mythologies and everyday gestures.<\/p>\n
This new season thus opens a new chapter, guided by the desire to continue the Ch\u00e2teau’s mission: to welcome artists, support audiences and make the venue a lively, welcoming space that is deeply rooted in its local area.<\/p>\n

\nDes Patates is a contemporary art exhibition that brings together the work of artists from different generations and nationalities around their love of potatoes. Behind this tuber from the Andes, the first specimens of which are said to have been cultivated in France in the Ard\u00e8che region, lies a multitude of stories: tales of survival, migration, financial hardship and damaged land. But the potato also represents the joy of shared meals and forms of resistance that run underground before
\nsprouting into works of art.
\nSpread over two floors of the Ch\u00e2teau, the exhibition is accompanied by a programme combining performances and tastings, linked to the local area and beyond. <\/p>\n

– Exhibition \u2018MILLE SIX CENT SOIXANTE-DIX-SEPT\u2019 by Nicolas DAUBANES: <\/p>\n
The Ch\u00e2teau invites artist Nicolas Daubanes for an exhibition conceived as the first chapter of a research project on prison graffiti preserved in its basements. The title, Mille six cent soixante-dix-sept, refers to the date of the oldest graffiti currently found in the Ch\u00e2teau, the starting point for a sensitive and historical investigation.<\/p>\n
Guided by his constant interest in spaces of constraint, areas of resistance and forms of clandestine writing, Nicolas Daubanes develops an approach that weaves together contemporary creation, prison history and exploration of the built environment. The exhibition will present several sets of pieces already produced by the artist \u2014 notably as part of research and residencies (Villa M\u00e9dicis, etc.) \u2014 juxtaposed with inscriptions engraved in the stone of the Ch\u00e2teau, in order to bring stories, gestures and traces to life across time.<\/p>\n
By combining contemporary creations with archives engraved in stone, he offers a new interpretation of this unique heritage. Conducted in partnership with researcher Fanny Lalande, this project launches an original programme combining art, humanities and heritage, transforming the Ch\u00e2teau into a place of study, creation and storytelling.<\/p>\n
