In the manner of a journeyman’s tour of France, Simon Nicaise embarks on several long-term residencies, with the opportunity to relocate his practice and discover new skills.
This itinerancy led to a prologue in Troyes, where he began research at the Musée de l’outil et de la pensée ouvrière. This gave him the intuition that his work was to be drawn in this direction, and confirmed his stops in Nancy and Sarlat. What’s more, this arrangement enables him to prepare his exhibition directly in the spaces of the Centre d’art contemporain / Passages, so as to propose a response as close to the mark as possible, from Friday June 07 to July 19, 2019.
