Lascaux 5

As the paintings of Lascaux, kept for millennia in darkness before being revealed, studied, preserved and then reproduced, these works will in turn vanish from sight. They will remain present in memories, stories and hearts.

Between disappearance and transmission, Lascaux 5 proposes another path: that of a collective celebration before erasure.

For this final intervention on the walls of the Chemiserie d'Armagnac, we invited artists chosen as much for their geographical proximity as for their aesthetic, political or friendly affinities. Lascaux 5 continues this story.

Neither an exhibition, nor a festival, nor a simple closing event, the project is above all meant as a moment of sharing and celebration of contemporary creation in Toulouse, through the singular history of an artist-run space that has already lasted four decades …Once the walls are painted, the building will host a succession of meetings over two weeks.
