In the framework of the exhibition « Etat Temporaire : Mutagenèse »,& the movie Metropolis directed by Fritz Lang in 1927 will be screened at DOC’s cine-club on Thursday June 20th at 07:00 pm.
Metropolis is a milestone of international cinema. This science fiction movie plunges the viewer in 2026, in the heart of Metropolis, a megalopolis of a dystopian society. This city is divided in a high part where the intelligentsia and ruling classes live and a lower part in which the workers operate the city and are oppressed by the ruling class. The movie focuses on the story of a group of revolutionaries led by a cyborg.
DOC is a space for artistic production and presentation located at 26 Rue du Docteur Potain, 75019 Paris. Founded in 2015, it is a multifaceted space that brings together a variety of artistic practices (visual arts, photography, crafts, performing arts, music, jewelry making, writing, video editing, etc.) and artists. For over ten years, DOC has provided a space for creation, connection, mutual support, and collaboration for Parisian artists and craftspeople. In addition, DOC offers a unique, high-caliber artistic program, always with pay-what-you-can admission.
DOC is also a collective—formally organized as a nonprofit association under the 1901 law—that manages and brings this space to life. This collective is made up of nearly 100 members, all of whom are artists or artisans in residence. A governance model based on self-management has developed, organized through a monthly general assembly and steering committees dedicated to various themes.
The association has nine specialized art studios open to residents as well as to the general public: woodworking, metalworking, painting, sewing, offset printing, video post-production, sound, and screen printing. For more information on this topic, contact us at contact@doc.work.
