We're embarking on a great adventure: our crowdfunding campaign to produce a work entitled “Cathedral at the heart of contemporary creation”.

The aim of this work is to document and celebrate the exceptional expertise of twenty-three crafts, from gilding to woodcarving. Our aim is to capture the essence of their ancestral techniques, while highlighting their adaptation to contemporary creation.

This project aims to exalt the regional art of living and plays a crucial role in maintaining and developing the economy of local artisans, thus contributing to France's cultural dynamism.

Join us in this adventure to celebrate and preserve the arts and crafts of our region.

Your support is essential to make this project a resounding success.

With gratitude,

The Gallerie MICA x LAB team

matali crasset's exhibition "nous avons oublié le pain en chemin" at Galerie Philippe Valentin in collaboration with Galerie MICA x LAB summons the living. Presented in two parts that take up space in the gallery, it materializes two recent readings by ecologists.

"If we live in a corrupted place, where everything that enters us is corruption, deception, suddenly giving our organism a virtuous, honest food, respectful of what nature has most luminous to pass on to us, allows us to open up a clearing of possibilities within ourselves, a space from which we will begin our work of rebirth. 100% natural bread plays this role perfectly, because not only does it reactivate your immune system, it also induces new thoughts, positive thoughts..." Roland Feuillas, in Roland Feuillas and Jean-Philippe de Tonnac, "A la recherche du pain vivant", éditions Actes Sud Nature.

Galerie MICA is pleased to announce that Petit Arc-en-ciel furniture by matali crasset in collaboration with Artisans LAB in Brittany is featured in the "(RÉ)CRÉATION" exhibition created for the City of Paris to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Grands Prix de la Création.

Since 1993, the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris has awarded prizes in three categories: design, fashion and craftsmanship, each honoring one emerging and one established professional. On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, the City of Paris has commissioned its partner GOODMOODS to present thirty pieces drawn from the contemporary repertoire of designers honored by the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris from 1993 to the present day.

Galerie MICA is pleased to announce that the sculpture Transmission by matali crasset in collaboration with Artisans LAB in Brittany is featured in matali crasset's "Antretemps" exhibition at the Fondation Le Corbusier.

"Antretemps" is a mobile community that moves to places where the earth's conditions of habitability have deteriorated. Its aim is to make resilience possible, and then to transform it through concrete projects. It has developed thanks to the commitment of a large number of young people in the face of the failure of politics on the climate issue. Its great capacity for learning and the creation of a network of mutual support have enabled the population to change its system of reference and thinking very quickly.
