BAD+ represents the opportunity to reflect on the key issues that lend art and design their bite and charm, because they often raise difficult matters and questions, from climate change to social and political issues or the pursuit of aesthetic concerns such as beauty and truth.

Out of conviction, BAD+ defends these various points of view all at the same time. BAD+ seeks to shine a light in the darkness without neglecting the wealth, admittedly austere at times, of the paths to collective experience. Its profound intensity is the result of its sincerity, its spontaneity and bold approach, regardless of the medium.

• BAD+, a new mindset in art and design: A series of presentations by galleries where this freshness and originality are perceptible in the works of masters or living artists, and solo or group exhibitions which reflect this spirit of capturing the moment.
• Drawing, initial urges / early temptations: Galleries and artists may present drawing in all its many facets: on walls, paper, the ground, tables, in pencil, through computers or projection.
• Objects & Space: How are functional objects and the scenography of space linked to life with art and design? The galleries present drawings, objects, models and architectural projects which reveal how space interacts endlessly with art.
• Photography and moving images: A selection of galleries working with photography, film and video.
