VideoDatabase – Cartes blanches 2026

VideoDatabase – Cartes blanches 2026 gathers four curatorial carte blanche projects that reframe a public video collection through screenings and artist-led playlists.
Conservator-restorer Eléonore Bernard, dancer-choreographer Lucy Nightingale, programmer Christophe Piette, and curators Marie Jeanson and Denis Schuler each present selections of video and moving-image works ranging from early video art to experimental contemporary pieces.
The series explores archival practices, performative temporality, and the shifting histories of moving-image mediums, prompting reflection on preservation, context and modes of display.
