\nIt\u2019s 4500m2 building, which owes its elegance to the light and spacious rooms, was designed by one of the most innovative architectural consultancy firms: the Aires Mateus agency. It comprises four exhibition spaces, an auditorium, a restaurant and a bookshop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The center provides a place for people to meet and share real artistic experiences. It is from that perspective that this season\u2019s programming is based on the dialogue between the work of Olivier Debr\u00e9, major figure of the XXth century\u2019s painting, and more recent visual art creations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1684165695364{padding-top: 3% !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Portuguese architecture agency Aires Mateus e Associados agency was chosen at an international contest to create the CCC OD\u2019s building in 2012.
\nFrancisco and Manuel Aires Mateus are now amongst the major representants of Portuguese architecture, and have developed a timeless, refined and minimalist architecture that factors the potential of transformation of the existing site.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The CCC OD in Tours is their first french project; it paves the way to many other significant museum projects, notably the Mudac museum in Lausanne.<\/p>\n

the debr\u00e9 donation<\/h2>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]The CCC OD is now depositary of a donation from Olivier Debr\u00e9\u2019s right holders.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It comprises five large oil on canvas (4 x 9 m) made specifically for the CCC in 1991, 150 graphic artworks, and a semi-permanent loan of 140 tableaux.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The CCC OD promotes the figure of the artist by dedicating a series of temporary exhibitions to his work and elaborating the catalogue raisonn\u00e9 of his works.<\/p>\n
