HEURE EXQUISE !

Created in 1975, Heure Exquise ! is a non-profit association specialized in the promotion of video art and video creation.

Since its creation, its organisation, prospects and objectives have been defined by both the voluntary members and staff.

Starting with an essentially creative project (collective audiovisual programmes, conception of performances and spectacular public screenings), Heure Exquise ! has progressively set up for its members its activities of distribution, screenings, documentation and training in video creation and electronic arts, and has in this way since 1980, taken part in the national and international development of these forms of artistic expression.


NUIT DE CHINE !

NUIT DE CHINE ! is an association specialising in the sale of creative videos (art video, documentaries, dance video, computer graphics and computer images…) and CD-Roms by authors.

It ensures the sales of copies and the transfer of rights from the catalogue of Heure Exquise ! .

It organises the promotion of work through cable and hertzian television channels in France and abroad.

It also enables multumedia-libraries, art libraries, art centres, museums, or all other cultural, educational or training organisations to acquire copies of works.

It helps set up general or specialised audiovisual libraries.

All sale or transfer of rights is the object of an agreement between the purchaser and Nuit de Chine !.


HEURE EXQUISE !
Distribution - Viewing


The distribution service, created in 1983, has the overall objectives of :


- compiling in one catalogue the works of artists and authors who deal in video.


This catalogue, regularly enriched, covers a wide variety of types (art videos, creative documentaries, dance videos, new images, CD-Roms). Bilingual (French/English), it also provides the conditions for ordering the works and the legal obligations of users.


- organising the promotion, distribution and cultural side of the works.


This mission is carried out both in France and abroad, in partnership with the institutions, cultural organisations, teaching and training establishments, festivals and events. The Heure Exquise ! team helps with the design and running of all distribution projects (advice in programming , public presentations, events committees, help with the preparation of television broadcasts, etc).


Heure Exquise! also ensures the distribution of the co-productions of the Délégation aux Arts Plastiques (Plastic Arts Delegation).
