curieux catalogue est une station de recherche consacrée à la collection d’objets imprimés sélectionnés pour leur valeur culturelle, graphique, sentimentale ou iconographique.

Depuis 2020, l’archive se construit à partir de publications issues de champs variés : astronomie, arts visuels, design graphique ou encore science-fiction. Les ouvrages réunis ici ne sont pas définis par leur rareté, mais par la pertinence de leurs contenus, de leurs images ou de leurs formes.

Pensé comme un outil de recherche actif, le projet aborde le livre et l’imprimé comme des matériaux de travail : sources iconographiques, répertoires de signes, et traces culturelles susceptibles d’alimenter des pratiques de recherche et de création (graphique).

L’archive demeure privée, mais fonctionne comme une plateforme de partage de références et de savoirs. curieux catalogue se propose d'accompagner institutions, collectifs et individus en apportant des ressources ciblées et une expertise curatoriale pour des projets de recherche, d’édition ou d’exposition.

curieux catalogue is a research station dedicated to the collection of printed matter selected for its cultural, graphic, sentimental or iconographic value.

Since 2020, the archive has been developed through publications spanning multiple fields: astronomy, visual arts, graphic design and science fiction. The books gathered here are not defined by rarity, but by the relevance of their content, imagery, or formal qualities.

Conceived as an active research tool, the project approaches books and printed objects as working materials: iconographic sources, visual signs, and cultural traces that can inform research processes and (graphic) design practices.

While the archive remains private, it operates as a platform for the circulation of references and knowledge. curieux catalogue aims to support institutions, collectives, and individuals, providing targeted resources and curatorial expertise for research-driven, editorial, or exhibition-based projects.
