For Radicale 1924 Ria Pacquée primarily took on the role of observer. She uses the street as her arena of study, viewing it as a living setting in which she moves discreetly ('street rambling'), recording events from a particular viewpoint with a camera.

For this current exhibition, Ria Pacquée presents a video she made in Saint Cirq Lapopie during her first visit in 2021.

Nicolas Bourthoumieux on his research and practice since 2021 in Saint Cirq Lapopie

‘I imagined a project. In order to overturn Musil's observation, I wanted to create a monument dedicated to oblivion as much as to self-denial, to the one who 'almost made it.' An allegory of the anonymous, Collins more than anyone else was the first man not to walk on the Moon. I tried to contact him by sending letters to NASA and to the publisher of his autobiography. The idea was to create a casting of his foot (probably the left one) instead of a bust, make a bronze or aluminum cast of it, and then bury it somewhere in secret. In the Pech-Merle cave, a few kilometers from Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, there is a fossilized footprint of a child. A left foot. A 'vestigium pedis' (a term that refers to the representation of the trace left by Prophets or saints and which constitutes a relic). The child slipped in the mud, no one ever passed by there again, and time turned the mud into stone. You can visit the cave, which I did for the first time when I was five or six years old. The guide had pointed out to me: "you see: he was your age 25,000 years ago." It is the only memory I have of the visit.’

Wim Wauman's central narrative revolves around an 'alchemical marriage' between Saint-Cirq-Lapopie and Rupelmonde, a heritage village in Flanders, Belgium. Rupelmonde, the birthplace of the famous cartographer Gerard Mercator (1512), is known for its historical tower, tide mill, sundials, and the swallows that fly around them. In the contemporary myth the artist is creating, it is also home to 'the miller’s daughter’: a shapeshifting character and siren, referencing the medieval European ‘Melusine’ folktale, previously referenced by André Breton in Nadja (1928) and Arcanum 17 (1944). Wauman draws a meaningful connection between Rupelmonde and the artist village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, the collection of Daniel Adrien Routier, surrealism as well as 'La Route Mondiale des citoyens du monde’

During his residency in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie in 2023, Jack Davey developed a series of works on cardboard and parcel paper in the Nightshop of Radicale 1924. His sculptural language revolves around themes such as the subconscious, memory, sexual frustration, and desire. A body of work reflecting his effort to capture and freeze energy, imbuing objects with a sense of immovable certainty and consciousness.
