The CALAMINE exhibition is the culmination of a research and collective creation residency led by students from the ZÀD – ZONE À DESSINS studio at the École Supérieure d’Art de Lorraine – Metz campus, at the Bridderhaus.

Supervised by artist and teacher François Génot, the ZÀD workshop develops a collective artistic project each year in collaboration with a new partner. For the 2025–2026 edition, the Bridderhaus has become the focal point of this initiative, hosting a residency in the heart of southern Luxembourg. This region is marked by a rich industrial and steel-making history and is now experiencing social, urban, and ecological transformation.

In metallurgy, calamine is a deposit of iron oxide formed on the surface of steel subjected to very high temperatures. Inspired by this concept, the multidisciplinary works examine the traces left by the industrial and steel-making era that shaped the Esch-sur-Alzette valley and, more broadly, the Greater Region.

The students explored these aspects: buried narratives, fragmented memories, tangible and intangible legacies. They met local residents, experienced multiculturalism, and examined the consequences of industrial progress.

With: Sofiia Ahadzhanian, Ambre Bouillaguet, Salomé Castells, Paloma Girard Francisco, Marie-Cécile Grand, Laetitia Hue, Eike Llamas, Loïc Leclercq, Fanette Lentretien, Iman Ourahou, Maud Quesney, Madeleine Rieffel, Jules Schwoerer.

The project is supported by: École Supérieure d’Art de Lorraine (ÉSAL, Metz), Ministry of Culture – Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Préfet de la Région Grand Est, Eurométropole de Metz, Communauté d’Agglomération d’Épinal.
