Ce que pense la main - Part 2
Through 鈥淐e que pense la main鈥� (What the Hand Thinks) Part 2, the Frac Sud offers a new exhibition of works, providing an opportunity to interpret or re-interpret the history of its collection through the prism of the artist鈥檚 relationship with the hand and the repertoire of singular gestures that these creations establish. Designed in two phases spread over the year, the exhibition presents works by artists of different generations, some of which have only recently entered the collection, demonstrating the relevance and strong resurgence of this question in contemporary artistic practices.
Although etymologically, the word 鈥渁rt鈥� refers primarily to the idea of skill (for the Greeks, art was primarily a teckn猫鈥揳 technique), ever since the modern era, we have been differentiating, even opposing, the Fine Arts and Decorative Arts. The works presented here allow visitors to assess how much these artistic fields permeate one another, and observe the free circulation of gestures and expressions. These works converse within an archipelago-type arrangement, exploring three broad themes: The Demiurgic Hand, Artialization, and Pop Syncretism.
Through these themes, the relationship with nature, the consideration of space and architecture, as well as notions of hybridization, patchwork and recycling鈥搃n their social and political senses as well鈥�, provide entry points for discovering this exhibition.
