On the occasion of the last days of the exhibition 'Poor Paintings' we invite you to discover Balcou's new book. This new edition traces the actions carried out around the Porteurs—nomadic glass sculptures activated through handling and exchange. Conceived as a living archive, it interweaves haikus and photographs to reflect artistic experiences unfolding outside institutional frameworks. The Porteurs become talking sticks—tools for protest, transmission, and collective narration. They serve as vessels for stories, gestures, and encounters. The book reflects on our relationship to art, memory, and collective connection. Practical Information -------------------- Publisher: MER.
