Algeria. Artists of the Fraternity - Donation Claude & France Lemand
Claude and France Lemand鈥檚 pas颅sion for the works of Abdallah Benanteur and their interest in non-European worlds have guided over time the con颅sti颅tu颅tion of a remark颅able col颅lec颅tion, which has been found in har颅mony with France鈥檚 desire to create an Institute with a museum, in order to open eyes to artists from the Arab world and its dias颅poras. Today, the national and inter颅na颅tional public can only be touched by the rich颅ness and diver颅sity of works cre颅ated by artists from Algeria, more than 600 Algerian modern and con颅tem颅po颅rary art颅works in the col颅lec颅tions of the Institut du monde arabe鈥檚 Museum.
ALGERIA MY LOVE is a song of the pain of the land and Algerian people col颅o颅nized and mar颅tyrized, the song of the Algerian cul颅ture and iden颅tity denied and uprooted. It is also the song of freedom and hope, of the renewal of artistic and lit颅erary cre颅ativity and the announce颅ment of a renais颅sance, nec颅es颅sary and long awaited.
ALGERIA MY LOVE is the expres颅sion of the love that all artists have for Algeria, those inside and even more those out颅side, all these cre颅ators from the dias颅pora who can say, like Abdallah Benanteur: "Algeria is in me, only my feet have left it; my mind is always roaming around mine."
This col颅lec颅tion is not suf颅fi颅ciently rep颅re颅sen颅ta颅tive of cer颅tain his颅tor颅ical artists, such as Jean de Maisonseul, Choukri Mesli, Rachid Koraichi, 鈥�; it is even non-exis颅tent for visual artists who appeared in Europe in the 2000s, such as Yazid Oulab, Driss Ouadahi, Djamel Tatah, Bruno Boudjelal, Zineb Sedira, Kader Attia, Adel Abdessemed, Fay莽al Baghriche, Abdelkader Benchama, Mohamed Bourouissa, Ne茂l Beloufa and many more. We hope that emblem颅atic works by these artists will enrich the col颅lec颅tions of the new IMA museum.
