Programme
Filiations 2, dialogue with the Albers-Honegger Donation
Ten years after the first edition, Filiations 2 proposes to a new generation of artists to dialogue with certain "tutelary" figures of the collection in the spaces of the donation. These choices are enriched by their own work so that a dialogue is established beyond the barriers of time and space. The artists invited to participate in this project share specific links with the history of abstraction and its ramifications.
Artists: Karina Bisch, Gabrielle Conilh de Beyssac, Fabien Gharbi, Camila Oliveira Fairclough, Hugo Pernet, Gilles Pourtier, Linda Sanchez, Hugo Schüwer Boss, Xavier Theunis
As well as a selection of artists from the Albers-Honegger Collection: John Armleder, Cécile Bart, Max Bill, Marcelle Cahn, Eduardo Chillida, Sonia Delaunay, Herman de Vries, Piero Dorazio, Christoph Haerle, Gottfried Honegger, Shirley Jaffe, Tatiana Loguine, Olivier Mosset, Aurelie Nemours, Adrian Schiess, Sean Scully, Kimber Smith, Franz Erhard Walther...
Curator : Fabienne Grasser-Fulchéri, assisted by Alexandra Deslys and Claire Spada
From concrete to everyday, Jean Widmer
Venue: Level -1 of the Albers-Honegger Donation
The Espace de l'Art Concret (eac.) houses the Albers-Honegger Donation belonging to the Centre national des arts plastiques (Cnap) and deposited in Mouans-Sartoux.
The Cnap has recently added to its collection a number of important works related to graphic design, including Jean Widmer's program of tourist and cultural activities for highways, as well as the collection of the Trois Ourses association for children's art books. Because of the links that these two collections have with concrete art, it seemed obvious to the eac. to invite the Cnap to collaborate on the conception of two successive exhibitions, two high points around graphic design and the Cnap design collection at the Espace de l'Art Concret.
