• The Remarkable Bitters exhibition

  Association Dans le Sens de Barge
  /// Dates: May 17 to July 31
  /// Location: along the Seine between the dam and the Midway boat (association de la batellerie de Poses)
  As part of Normandie Impressioniste 2024, Barge presents: “Amers remarquables”.
  This term describes built or natural elements, often overpainted, visible when approaching a coastline, and which create a landmark for calculating the navigation trajectory. Based on four navigation markers on the Seine, 57 artists each imagined a perceptible proposal for the river. The result is a collection of possible, poetic or utopian artistic landmarks.

PARTNERS

• Association de la batellerie de Poses

  Created by the Association des anciens et amis de la batellerie de Poses, founded on November 5, 1988, this association is dedicated to bringing the history of inland waterway transport to life. The association was created when the tug FAUVETTE, dating from 1928, was restored, and today its mission is to maintain this historic monument, listed in May 1992 and owned by the commune of Poses. The association’s aim goes even further, with the opening in 1995 of its Museum on board the Midway (a Freycinet built in 1954), where period documents, objects and models help to convey the past and present of the river trades for tourism and education.

• Dans le Sens de Barge

  The Dans le Sens de Barge collective plans to build a navigable boat that will be both a production site for a traveling artistic residency on the Seine, and a dockside exhibition space. Going beyond administrative boundaries, its cross-disciplinary projects promote social and cultural links along the river. The collective builds its programming with partners along the river - museums, art centers and educational venues. Working with numerous local authorities, institutions, businesses and higher education establishments, the association questions the continuity of this territory: its ecosystem, its history, its culture and its know-how.

• Les amis de l’église Saint-Quentin de Poses

  The aim is to preserve the Poses church and contribute to its enhancement by organizing cultural events for local residents, and to raise funds for heritage preservation.
