Exhibition from February 17 to May 28
The exhibition at the Wild Archives Institute will bring together around thirty contemporary works that all have in common the proposition of original and unique archiving systems, both in their form and content. The aim is to move away from the usual classifications with scientific or historical purposes to invent new means of collecting, restoring, or consulting documents. Each wild archive creates its own institution, its classification methods, its own categories, functions, and uses.
