The association DOC was created with a goal ; that of offering spaces to create and diffuse contemporary artists work. In 2018 around 95 residents found themselves in the former high-school Jean Quarre located at 26 rue Docteur Potain in the 20th district of Paris.
Artists, photographers, artisans, actors/actresses, musicians, jewellers, fashion designers, publishers, set designers, writers, video editors, playwrights and directors are all reunited under one roof by the undeniable value of DOC’s creative proposals.
DOC welcomes artists in private or shared studios as well as temporary residency workshops in collaboration with recently graduated curators.
The association is compiled of 9 specialised workshops open to residents and also to exterior actors/actresses : wood workshop, metal, painting, dressmaking, offset, post production, sound and screen printing.
Five specialised departments develop the spaces program : exhibition, concert, theatre arts, audiovisual media and free workshop/seminars. Perceived as independent from the activity of the residents of DOC, this program not only takes place in the spaces provided by DOC, it also takes beyond the walls (hors-les-murs) through collaboration in exterior spaces.
Artists are always in movement; they place their future at the center of their activity, accepting throughout their journey the inherent risk that this brings. Living this choice of existence in a collective environment favours innovation and renders this risk more acceptable.
DOC is therefore a collective energy guided by the power of the desire to create, to show and to share.
