A nomadic art centre organised around merchandise containers, the giant blocks that can be found in all the ports of the world. Each year, the Conteners team invites artists (from all artistic disciplines) in different cities to create a work of art in a container. From one to three months, artist and container are resident in a specific territory. At the end of this residency, all the artistic units travel via road, rail or sea to create an itinerant art centre in each of the three container cities. Through its mobility, this arts convoy reaches out to its audience in obsolete industrial areas and ports on the fringe of city centres, redefining the relationships between society, its artists and their works.
