The autobiographical suitcase by Sophie Calle
Taking to heart the travelling fibre of the artist Sophie Calle, the suitcase contains, in addition to the reproduction of the “Faux Mariage”, a work acquired by the Frac in 1994, a set of editions of the artist and original educational material to apprehend his artistic journey, may come to complete the study of autobiography in college and high school.

Flash Collection
Frac Île-de-France continues and develops the itinerant project «Flash Collection» designed in November 2016 for high schools in the Île-de-France region. In addition to the original trunk designed by Olivier Vadrot, two new trunks of smaller size, adapted to accommodate a new selection of works are added to the device.
"La Mallette" : the Frac artworks make a run
“La Mallette” consists of two “flight case” suitcases. One contains a work and its conservation and handling equipment. The other offers educational tools, with thematic sheets, ideas for workshops, games, documentation…
Designed to be borrowed by high-school teachers, La Mallette presents thematic entries for teaching operations by teachers. Easy to transport, it is a mobile dissemination and mediation tool that promotes a desecrated and immediate relationship to contemporary art.
Le Satellite
The “Satellite”, inaugurated in 2015, is a truck built into an exhibition space, a dissemination tool designed by architect and visual artist Mathieu Herbelin. The exhibitions organized in Le Satellite are accompanied by educational tools and cultural outreach initiatives.
La Capsule
The artist and designer matali crasset has created two itinerant devices for the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne: the Capsule, a space for disseminating the FRAC collection, and the “Digital Tripod”, a mediation space.
FRAC'LAB - an contemporary art lab
The Regional Contemporary Art Fund of Burgundy (Frac Bourgogne), as part of its missions of awareness of contemporary creation, implements an educational tool for young people from 5 to 18 years. This art suitcase is an invitation to discover contemporary art and offers different teaching modules and work tracks that the teacher or facilitator is invited to appropriate. With «Le FRAC-LAB», the FRAC Bourgogne takes a different approach where it is no longer the young people who come to the FRAC, but the contemporary art that comes to them.
