The Expoplu Foundation, created in the 80's, is a place where artists can experiment. The investigative approach is at the heart of an extensive program in which the interactions between visual art and other disciplines is essential.
Expoplu encourages research and seeks to promote various forms of expression : exhibitions, interactive projects, happenings and events. Publications, conferences, debates or work presentations are offered to encourage the public to actively participate.

"In this annual programme of Expoplu, we start looking for the mechanisms that exist in the art field that are connected to the social, societal and political environment, on the basis of the following analytical questions: ‘What is art today?’, ‘Which mechanisms can counter the prevailing political, moral, social practices that are prevalent in our society today, and that create the specific constraints in which we are forced to operate?’.

We approach these principles not in a thematic sense, but rather investigate how artists incorporate these issues within the very language of their work. For this purpose, we propose three central concepts that each will serve as the basis for an exhibition, including space, time and subject. These elements are inextricably linked together, are used as the artificial framework of the exhibition, act as a pretext. It is in the end the artists who, through their artworks, juxtapose and make visible new, beautiful, and layered worlds.

The "Subject" project focuses on the critical, nuanced, conscious, playful, ambiguous relationship of the artist and these various subject positions. "
