Recherche et commissariat @ Bonus — Annonce du CIPAC

Overview

Bonus is launching a call for applications for a research and curatorial mission to explore its history, engaging with artists, archives, and individuals who have shaped its journey since 2018. This research, starting in April 2027, will culminate in an event presented from April 6 to June 4, 2028, at L’Atelier, a municipal exhibition space in Nantes. It will offer a free, sensitive, and critical perspective on ten years of creation, experimentation, and cooperation. No predefined event project is expected at the application stage.

About Bonus

Since 2018, Bonus has been developing a project in Nantes dedicated to contemporary creation and supporting artists. Its history is built through workshops, creative residencies, national and international collaborations, the creation of Wave (a visual arts biennial), as well as exhibitions, meetings, and public events. It also relies on Pôle Print, a production and experimentation space focused on printing and imaging.
