Lapin-Canard
by Vincent Pécoil
In the beginning, “Lapin-Canard” was the name given to parties at a bar in Belleville, organised by
Matthieu Clainchard and Nicolas Milhé. Since these parties brought together a large number of artists, the
idea naturally arose to also make them into artistic events. To avoid the exhibition-in-a-bar pitfall, with its
slightly sad connotation of being an exhibition for lack of anything better, the principle adopted was to
produce artists’ posters and present them at each party, initially one, and subsequently several. The poster
or posters were affixed to one of the large windows of the restaurant-bar, so that they were visible from the
outside. The first Lapin-Canard party accompanied by the presentation of one of these prints took place on
1 May 2015 at La Cantine Fabien, a restaurant-bar located on the Place of the same name. La Cantine
Fabien became the group’s Command Post, across from the headquarters of the other CP*. In the summer
of 2015, Lapin-Canard became an association and publishing house.
