la partition d’un instant
The CCC OD is inviting Hors-studio, a design duo from Tours comprising Rebecca Fezard and Elodie Michaud.
They are taking over the transparent galleries, which can only be seen from outside the art centre, with a three-part installation combining their current areas of research: the creation of materials, the decorative tradition and digital programming language. At a time of growing ecological debt, Hors-studio questions the future of its own productions and invites us to think today about the ruins of tomorrow.
This exhibition was supported by Ovive and Marinoë.
All the 3D prints were produced in partnership with the FabLab in Tours.

hors-studio
Within Hors-Studio, designers Rebecca Fezard and Elodie Michaud specialized in material, surface and textile design. Based in Tours, the pair has been conducting research and experimentation on materials since 2016, from its choice to its treatment and finishing. For this purpose, Hors-Studio uses the decorative heritage, defended and re-examined in the light of contemporary technologies, forms and uses.
Concerned about the designer’s responsibility and the impact of its productions on the environment, the studio is particularly involved in the recovery of waste produced by the industrial and craft sectors. From these falls, Hors-Studio imagines new materials and new uses to develop. It is in this spirit that the studio founded in 2020 the collaborative and open source platform Precious Kitchen[1].
[1] Précious Kitchen is a project developed by Hors Studio and Catherine Lenoble. He was the winner of the call for Digital Creativity Project 2019 in the Centre region.
This digital space allows to list the identified falls and to share recipes of materials open to all. This innovative research in the field of material design was hailed by the Grand Prize for Creation of the City of Paris of which Rebecca Fezard and Elodie Michaud were laureates in December 2020 in the Design category. Hors-Studio invests in transparent galleries with an installation designed specifically for this exhibition space, visible from outside the art center. Oscillating between anchoring in tradition and experimental research, between artisanal materiality and digital immateriality, this exhibition is in the image of the practice of designers, which permanently connects the past and the present.
Circulating like a common thread on the windows of the three galleries, the motif of a «jacquard cardboard» establishes this first link between the ornamental tradition and the programming language. Invented in 1801 by Joseph-Marie Jacquard, the loom can indeed be considered the ancestor of computer tools or even artificial intelligence, since it invented the first programmable mechanical system with punch cards.
We find here the rhythm of these silent «scores» which print, intermittently, their vibration at the different phases of the installation.
