Since 2009, Documents d’artistes Bretagne publishes monographic files in collaboration with Breton artists. Entirely accessible online, they contribute to the dissemination of their practices and give an overview of a regional art scene in movement. Committed to the artists in the documentary collection, DDA Bretagne accompanies them throughout their career and mobilizes networks of professionals around their practices and projects.

LES CHANTIERS RÉSIDENCE
Emerging artists support program in partnership with Documents d’Artistes Bretagne. It’s often difficult for a young artist, following his graduation, to continue his practice without means, workspace and artistic or critical support. Passerelle Centre d’art contemporain and Documents d’Artistes Bretagne put their skills and experiences together to develop les Chantiers, a program dedicated to supporting emerging artists in French Brittany region. 

Les Chantiers select every year two emerging artists living and working in French Brittany region to complete a project, accompanied by professional actors. After a three months residency, the project is exhibited at Passerelle Centre d’art contemporain. Documents d’Artistes Bretagne develops a specific website to document the residence and the project.
