This retrospective of the work of American choreographer Lucinda Childs explores the practices and methods that shaped the development of postmodern dance at the intersection of pop art and minimal art. The exhibition examines the porosity of these movements, which have been canonised by art history, while highlighting the central role of bodily experience in the transformation of the arts in the 1960s and 1970s.
An iconic choreographer of postmodern dance, Lucinda Childs transforms space into a playground of perfectly mastered lines, circles and trajectories. Refined, it is a poetry of gesture that unfolds, repeats, takes shape and is conceived to choreograph movement in space.
Through archival documents donated by the choreographer to the Centre National de la Danse in 2016, as well as videos, drawings and photos, this is a rare opportunity to discover an innovative approach to dance.
Featuring: Trisha Brown, James Lee Byars, Lucinda Childs, Ruth Childs, Philip Corner, Judith Dunn, David Gordon, Babette Mangolte, Marie Menken, Steve Paxton, Nathaniel Tileston and Andy Warhol.
Curator: Lou Forster
Vernissage open to all on Thursday 29 January 2026 – Free.

Francesc Ruiz’s practice centers on comics, which he treats as aesthetic, narrative, and critical material—forms that, beneath their playful surface, harbor subversive potential and function as unofficial channels of communication.
Considering context inseparable from his creative process, Ruiz roamed through Rennes, its center and its outskirts, to compose a poetic vision of the city and its region, built from signs, streets, architectures, infrastructures, and its human and non-human inhabitants, while tracing the intricate dynamics of its urban and geographical vortices.
Invited by Frac Bretagne, the artist presents an immersive installation that transforms the exhibition space into a site devoted to publishing: fanzines displayed on racks, and large-scale posters of trucks reproduced at a 1:1 scale, mediums through which he unfolds a singular narrative about the city that has welcomed him.

Faire Corps
in partnership with
Faire corps
L’Imagerie and Frac Bretagne photographic collections.
As part of the Glaz – Rencontres internationales de la photographie de Rennes festival, whose 2025 edition explores the links between acts of love and rebellion, L’Imagerie, Centre d’art et de photographie in Lannion, is teaming up with Frac Bretagne for an exhibition based on their respective photographic collections.
Entitled Faire corps, the exhibition brings together works by 16 artists of different nationalities, exploring ways of relating to one another, inhabiting the world together, uniting to resist, love or simply hold on.
“Faire corps” is first and foremost to form a group: to rally, to find oneself around a cause, to walk side by side to make a number, to aggregate in the face of adversity. It’s the political gesture of the collective and the claim to power through commonality.
“Faire corps“ is also the impulse of love: a way of inhabiting the same breath, merging with the other, building a body for two. It’s a place of passion, of friction and tenderness.
Finally, “Faire corps“ is to experience the body as shaped, constrained or celebrated. It’s about what the world does to the body through work, exhaustion or poverty, or, on the contrary, what the body does to the world when it becomes a surface of expression, of identity or social claim, of memory.
The exhibition offers a sensitive and engaging journey through embodied conditions: bodies in struggle, in bond, in love, all saying in their own way what it means to be a body in a fractured world.
