Pierre Bataille et al., « Circulation space(s) of the French-speaking Switzerland living arts productions », HAL-SHS : histoire de l'art, ID : 10670/1.84qqo1
Quality data on art are hard to gather-especially those concerning productions far away from the main historical centers of production. In our research on the Swiss living art sector, we faced these issues when we seek to objectify the circulation space of the French-speaking Swiss productions. To map the circulation space of Swiss productions, we scrapped a collaborative website that compiles information about all the French-speaking productions since 2009. We then crossed two visualization tools: density map and network. Our visualization show first that French-speaking Swiss productions circulation area is structured around two main poles: French-speaking Switzerland and Paris region. Under this perspective, the Swiss living art production appears located at the periphery of the French artistic field. Nevertheless, a cluster approach reveals that this circulation space is segmented. Most of the production are touring only locally, within the Swiss borders. Only a small proportion reach the Paris/French circuit.
