On the occasion of the last days of the exhibition Poor Paintings’ we invite you to discover Balcou’s new book.

This new edition traces the actions carried out around the Porteurs — nomadic glass sculptures activated through handling and exchange. Conceived as a living archive, it interweaves haikus and photographs to reflect artistic experiences unfolding outside institutional frameworks. The Porteurs become talking sticks — tools for protest, transmission, and collective narration. They serve as vessels for stories, gestures, and encounters. The book reflects on our relationship to art, memory, and collective connection.
