Parallel Worlds, New exhibition in the contemporary collectionsMarie Bourget, Helmut Federle, Hélène Garache, Hubert Kiecol, Charlotte Rampling, Anne-Marie Schneider et Pierre Weiss
From to
In cosmology, a parallel world is defined as a universe with its own measures of space and time. If such worlds existed, they would logically have to be separate from our own and governed by different laws, thus overturning fundamental principles we have considered absolute and unchangeable.
Drawing on works being acquired or that have recently entered the museum’s collections, this exhibition has been conceived as a series of monographic presentations of artists whose works are strikingly singular and thus constitute autonomous universes. Although they have each created a very personal world, the seven artists gathered here –
Marie Bourget (1952-2016),
Helmut Federle (1944 -),
Hélène Garache (1928-2023),
Hubert Kiecol (1950 -),
Charlotte Rampling (1946 -),
Anne-Marie Schneider (1962 -)
et Pierre Weiss (1950 -)
– are all equally uncompromising in their relationship to reality and to their art, and some of them have rarely, if ever, been exposed. Through their creations, these artists invite us to broaden our usual modes of perception, generally anchored in the visible world, in order to transport us into a poetic and emotional, parallel universe. To achieve this, they rely on very different approaches : some play on the variety of forms and signifiers with multiple variations; others have established precise rituals in order to connect with invisible forces.
