La Chaufferie – Fondation Fiminco
8, 9 & 10 septembre 2022

For its eight edition, the MAD is presenting, for the third year in a row, in the Chaufferie, a wide spectrum of contemporary editions, from zines to rare objects: prints, multiples, artists’ books, videos, vinyls…

Under the artistic direction of Sylvie Boulanger and Nicholas Vargelis, the 8th edition of MAD is undergoing a metamorphosis, opening up a space for “poetic reaction objects ” as an extension of artists’ books and multiples: objects that are a source of inspiration, creation, collection and observation, such as artists’ editions, but also sketches and diagrams, notebooks, prototypes, archives, collected objects and images.

The eight Revelation Artist’s Book Award

The ADAGP, France’s society for graphic and fine artists, in partnership with MAD, is organizer of the Revelation Artist’s Book Award, designed to promote contemporary creation in the artistic discipline of limited-edition artists’ books. The prize recognizes an artist whose work is shown at MAD, with 5.000 €, an exhibition of the book in the ADAGP’s gallery and a filmed portrait of the winner, presented on the Arte website. The prize ceremony takes place during MAD’s Opening.
