Come and discover an exhibition about the work of 50 artists and collectives, including 500 works and 500 rare editions.

Established in Paris in 1996, the Arts Factory gallery has been exploring the graphic scene for 25 years, at the crossroads of drawing, comics and illustration. Effi Mild and Laurent Zorzin, co-founders of the gallery, are regularly solicited for outside-the-walls projects.
Approached by Alexia and Jean-Claude Volot, Effi Mild and Laurent Zorzin accepted the invitation with enthusiasm and invested the Centre d'art contemporain de l'abbaye d'Auberive throughout the summer. The opportunity to look back on a quarter of a century devoted to the promotion of creators and publishers, in the margins of the marked circuits of contemporary art.
