Contemporary art center - la synagogue de Delme: exhibitions & residencies in 2010

The contemporary art center in Delme is located in a former synagogue, built in an Oriental style in the late nineteenth century.

The first art exhibition was held in 1993. The many artists who have exhibited in this unusual venue in the past fifteen years, generating an identity and reputation for the art center both locally and internationally, include: Daniel Buren, Ann Veronica Janssens, Jean-Marc Bustamante, François Morellet, Tadashi Kawamata, Stéphane Dafflon, Delphine Coindet, Jeppe Hein, Jugnet & Clairet, Peter Downsbrough and, more recently, Katinka Bock, Julien Prévieux, Gianni Motti, and Yona Friedman. All have developed a special view of the venue by creating sitespecific works.

In addition to three or four temporary shows presented in the former synagogue every year, the Delme art center manages an artist-in-residence program in the village of Lindre-Basse in the heart of the Lorraine regional park area.

The Delme synagogue has always positioned itself as an art lab, a site of artistic exploration and production.
