The chapel dates back to the 16th century and gave its name to the rue de l’Oratoire in Clermont-Ferrand. After being put to various uses, in 1992 it became a venue for the dissemination and experimentation of video and digital art. Since 2008, VIDEOFORMES has supported emerging contemporary creation (local, national and international) by making the Chapelle a venue for residencies and exhibitions in the field of hybrid and digital arts (video, visual arts, music, images, live performance, etc.). Each residency gives rise to a VIDEOBAR, a presentation of works in progress and a convivial meeting with the public.
Since 2008, VIDEOFORMES has been developing a mission to unearth new talent by turning the Galerie de l’Art du Temps (Oratory chapel) into a place of experimentation, a trans-disciplinary creative laboratory for short exploratory performances.
VIDEOBARS offer artists a space for experimentation and encounters with the public, in a convivial setting conducive to exchange. The performances presented are original and often one-offs. They may combine video art and other artistic disciplines.
From October 15 to 24, Simon Leroux will be in residence at the Oratory Chapel. At the end of this period, you will be able to discover Tout flamme, an exhibition on the representation of a memory at the border between reality and events distorted by our brain.
From September 22 to October 6, Mû Pied will be in residence at the Oratoire chapel. This will be an opportunity for them to develop ways of playing with images and to better understand the space and environment for their new project, Regarde Voir.
From September 19 to 21, 2025, discover ((A))((I))((O))’s Audio-visual performance & installation “Complentation” at the Chapelle de l’Oratoire!
