This summer the Centre international d'art et du paysage and Peuple et Culture Corrèze are jointly hosting ''What Goes Unseen'', a double exhibition by the Rado group presented at the Eglise Saint-Pierre in Tulle and on Vassivière Island.

The double exhibition ''What Goes Unseen'' is the outcome of a research residency carried out by the artists in the Tulle region since June 2011: a cooperative investigation into the everyday existence of local residents and workers. Instigated and backed by Peuple & Culture Corrèze, the residency was commissioned by the Centre National des Arts Plastiques. To help with the preparation of the exhibitions, the group called on acoustician Kerwin Rolland.

A wide range of works – photographs, drawings, videos, sculptures, sound installations –give expression to the artists' perception of the Corrèze region in terms of use of resources (wood, water), energy distribution networks, waste sorting, urban regeneration and other activities:
'We opted for looking at the territory in the light of technical networks including energy, waste and transport: usually invisible, even though they structure our everyday life, these networks are the subject of more and more debate and conflict. There was a documentary challenge here: how to use video, drawing, photos and sculptures to reveal hidden or overlooked realities, while at the same time pointing up unseen resources? A number of different situations emerged from our questions and investigations.'

The RADO acronym can mean all sorts of things, depending on the circumstances and desires of the people involved. It’s pronounced the same as "radeau", the French word for «raft», an object defined by French educator Fernand Deligny as «tree-trunks held loosely together».
For us this is the most accurate description of the common factor in a venture involving several people.
Founded in 2009, RADO comprises nine artists whose media include photography, sculpture, video and drawing. All of them have a shared interest in the the forms and circumstances of a collective practice of art in parallel with the work involved in their personal projects. The members of RADO met thanks to the ‘Territories’ seminar organised by Jean-François Chevrier at the École des Beaux-arts in Paris.

RADO’s double exhibition ‘’Ce qui ne se voit pas’’ (What Goes Unseen) is the result of a commission from the Central National des Arts Plastiques (CNAP, National Centre for the Visual Arts). This type of commission provides support for creation of artworks for public places and exhibition venues, for the Internet and radio, and for state collections within the CNAP’s purview.
