Singular Talents: an exhibition of outstanding craftsmanship (30 January – 25 March, 2020)

What do the words "Singular" and "Talents" mean in our industrial society? A technique on the verge of extinction? An art mastered by many but used to produce one-of-a-kind objects? An individual engaged in an age-old, almost forgotten craft? We can imagine, behind the word "Talent", the years of learning and apprenticeship, of constant improvement and growing confidence through which an individual rises to the very top of their art We seldom encounter these "Singular talents" - people who have dedicated their life to their passion and who strive for perfection whatever their field of excellence Who can claim this title of "Singular talent"? Visitors will step inside the world of 15 European artisans, each of whom practices a rare or endangered craft, through a series of 15 filmed portraits and an immersive scenography.

The artisans featured in Singular Talents may not be the only ones to work in their particular field, but their expertise, their personalities and their creations are unique Others still are young talents breathing new life into a profession which, with no-one to take up the mantle, almost disappeared. .
