FRONTIÈRE | Artistic and theoretical reflection

FRONTIÈRE | Artistic and theoretical reflection, comes in two forms. A print publication that, like a map, takes us on a journey along the borders, traces the works of the 10 artists exhibited by TOPO during its Frontière program, and continues online with essays and multimedia content (photos, videos, and podcasts).

TOPO has organized a series of exhibitions and online projects on the theme of borders from 2019 to 2022. Rooted in human history and still highly relevant today, this theme brings together several issues addressed by TOPO, including political, social, and technological questions.

The Frontière program comprises three thematic cycles, each associated with three female authors and art historians: Nuria Carton de Grammont, Paule Mackrous, and Mirna Abiad-Boyadjian. To enrich the discussion, four other specialists take a broader look at the concept of borders from different perspectives related to their fields of research: Ricard Zapata Barrero (politics), Chantal Pontbriand (aesthetics), Jean-Dominique Leccia (psychiatry), and David Jhave Johnston (technology).
