The DatArt project brings together initiatives whose aim is to decentralize the study of the art world from Paris to the regions. Even if the capital was a major artistic center at the national and international level, other cities constituted a cultural breeding ground, both in the market structures and in the actions set up by local artists.

Using digital humanities, DatArt seeks to reconstruct this regional art history and to (re)enhance its cultural heritage, in collaboration with French museums and cultural centers in the regions.

DatArt currently hosts three research projects, directed by Léa Saint-Raymond :

  • The "Bordeaux Independent Artists" project, which aims to study the exhibitions in Bordeaux of an avant-garde group, the Independent Artists, and to trace the trajectories of the works
    Collaborator : Paul Jean (École du Louvre).
  • The "Art in Toulouse" project, which aims to understand how Toulouse sought to assert itself as an artistic center since the second half of the 19th century, with the exhibitions of the Artistic Union, the Artistes méridionaux and the Artistes occitans indépendants.
    Collaborators : Hadrien Viraben (Le Mans Université / TEMOS) and Paul Jean (École du Louvre).
  • The "Collectors' directories" project, which reconstructs the cartography of collectors in France, as well as their preference systems, based on the Ris-Paquot and Campbell directories, between 1878 and 1935.
    Collaborator : Christine Vivet-Peclet (Musée des monuments français – Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine).
