The third and final Attitudes Mineures residency took place at the Lycée pro Montciel in Lons-le-Saunier in May 2017. This high school offers a singular architecture: it is a former begging depot from the 19th century built in a U-shape. Although it seduces the employees because of its gleaming character, the students appreciate it only moderately and find an artificial side to it, given the lack of freedom in the use of living spaces and circulation. The project has been developed here with students from the commercial class. Each pupil’s proposal was constructed from their study subjects (commerce and communication) and articulates issues such as: the separation of work and living spaces, the traces left by consumers in the city, the societal aspirations of future citizens, and finally the rules imposed in the high school or in the city and the possibility of playing with it, or even freeing oneself from it.

Creative Littering is a series of 5 packages personalised by guest artists and designed to be deposited in the urban space to generate interaction with the immediate environment. If this English expression was originally used ironically to refer to an incivility that takes on involuntary sculptural allures, Mathieu Tremblin proposes to those who participate in this deposit to positively consider this furtive gesture in the city.
Deposited, slipped, folded, inserted in the vicinity of the school, the objects are now no longer the territorial marker of a lived space, but improvised installations, three-dimensional collages or sculptures of the “already there”.
