This book celebrates Radicale1924, a contemporary art residency founded in
2020 by Belgian choreographer Chantal Yzermans. Located in the picturesque
village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie in the Lot Valley in the south of France, the
residency welcomed artists, researchers, and creators from 2021 to 2024 to
live and work in the historic Maison Routier. Carrying forward the village’s
historical tradition as an artistic haven―once home to André and Elisa Breton
and a circle of renowned surrealists in the 1950s―Radicale1924 became a
dynamic site of creative exchange. Over four years, it hosted influential
figures including Georges Adagio, Shulea Cheang, Ria Pacquée, Luc Deleu, Mikes
Poppe, A.L. Steiner & Guillaume Bijl. The residency culminated in 2024 with a
landmark exhibition at the Maison André Breton, coinciding with the centenary
of the first Surrealist Manifesto―an evocative nod to the movement’s history
in the village and enduring spirit. This publication brings together original
contributions by the participating artists and writers, alongside a compelling
introduction by esteemed art historian and professor John C. Welchman.
