TOC


TOC — Troubles Obsessionnels Contemporains is an independent curatorial and publishing platform based in Paris.

TOC develops publications, exhibitions, screenings and research projects across experimental visual culture, artist publishing, moving images and archival practices.

Working with artists, writers, curators and researchers, TOC approaches publishing and exhibition-making as forms of research: ways of bringing images, texts and practices into new relationships.

TOC is a project founded by LesTracesduRéel.org - Paris

ABOUT

TOC — Troubles Obsessionnels Contemporains is an independent curatorial and publishing project based in Paris.

Its activities move between publishing, exhibitions, moving-image programmes, archival research and collaborative projects. Rather than treating these as separate fields, TOC uses them as different ways of working with images: producing them, circulating them, placing them in relation to texts and contexts, and reconsidering the histories and systems through which they acquire meaning.

TOC grew out of a series of curatorial, educational and research initiatives developed in Italy from the mid-2010s onwards. Between 2017 and the early 2020s, the TOC Centre for Curatorial Practices in Copertino, Southern Italy, became a testing ground for exhibitions, workshops, screenings, residencies and collaborative research involving artists, architects, filmmakers, students and local communities.

The project subsequently developed between Italy and France, progressively expanding its focus on independent publishing, experimental graphic practices, moving images and archives.

Today TOC operates from Paris while maintaining this earlier work as an active archive and genealogy rather than as a closed institutional history.



TOC was initiated by APSNINFA ETS in Italy and Les Traces du Réel in Paris.
