When the fruits and vegetables of the Ferme de la Ballastière (Savoie) are harvested by the market gardeners, and the seedlings of future plants are growing in the nurseries, the land’s fallow period offers a pause, a dozen days where the soil rests and regenerates before the next planting. The exhibition remains open every day during the seedlings’ germination period, and the artworks activate at nightfall, as darkness arrives. jachérances takes root in a questioning of the culture/nature dualism that still structures the geography of contemporary art venues in France. On the one hand, rural areas are often reduced to spaces far removed from hegemonic cultural hubs; on the other, young artists predominantly and historically exile themselves from these territories to cities to join established artistic networks, contributing to a contemporary artistic production created by and for the metropolis. jachérances aims instead to draw inspiration from the cyclical and plant-like rhythm to rethink the codes of display and exhibition.
