Exposition

With artists of all generations and styles, the exhibition mixes temporalities and textures.
Because it does not exist on paper, not in a text of intention which would summarize the works, their content and their aim in two strokes of the spoon, “New memory” is a relief. This collective exhibition, curated by Anne Bonnin, lets itself be carried away by the works of artists of very different generations and styles, relying on their shapes, their textures, their colors, without trying to put them all in the same basket, but by letting their rebellious locks or their singularities protrude. This does not prevent anyone from refusing to play the game and pass the ball to their neighbor, from playing collectively, indeed. And the exhibition is progressing like that, circulating the gaze, the air, the sensations, without fixing them, and well beyond what we expected.
The small room at the entrance to the Grand Café stuns by organizing the face-to-face of the sculptures, as tall as pocket totems, by Amol K. Patil and a monochrome in relief by Pierrette Bloch (1928-2017) whose the tarred ropes, like fishing nets soaked in soot, barely stand out against the black background of the painting. Opposite, the figurines with hybrid bodies by the young Indian artist sport a dusty black skin that evokes the condition of the untouchables and, perhaps, the dark matter of beliefs and superstitions. The two come together
