Nina Laisné's First Major Solo Exhibition at Frac Franche-Comté
The Frac Franche-Comté in Besançon is currently showcasing the inaugural major exhibition of artist Nina Laisné, who was born in 1985 and graduated from the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Bordeaux. This event marks the culmination of a collaboration that began in 2016. Laisné's artistic endeavors encompass visual arts, music, and performance. Her 2019 solo exhibition, 'L'air des infortunés,' resulted in the acquisition of a multidisciplinary installation, now featured at the Frac's new location in Arc-lès-Gray, which opened in June 2025. The exhibition includes notable works such as 'Arca ostinata' (2026) and 'Frati uccelli' (2023), reflecting her expertise in Baroque and South American traditions. Curated by Sylvie Zavatta, the exhibition highlights the importance of collective craftsmanship.
