Programme
Centenaire Morellet. Amitié choisie : François Morellet & Albers-Honegger Collection
On the occasion of the centenary of François Morellet’s birth, and at the initiative of the Centre Pompidou, a series of events will pay tribute to this major artist within French institutions connected to his work.
Accordingly, the nine works by François Morellet from the Albers-Honegger Collection will be presented, along with two in situ installations created using adhesive tape in accordance with a protocol defined by the artist during his lifetime.
Absolue de rose, Virginie Barré
Active since the mid-1990s, Virginie Barré has developed a body of work in which theatrical staging plays a central role. Her practice ranges from drawing and installation to comics and film.
The title of her exhibition at the eac., Absolue de rose, suggests for Virginie Barré a slow gesture: to separate, to distil, to gather what remains. Seeds, flowers and plant forms have run through her work for several years. For this exhibition, the artist wishes, “in her own way of composing with living things, colours and materials”, to intersperse her proposal with a selection of works from the Albers–Honegger Collection, in order to open up a dialogue.
Dialogue with the Albers-Honegger Collection, the residents of the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation
For this new cycle revisiting the Albers–Honegger Collection, the eac. is inviting seven international artists who have taken part in residencies at the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation to enter into dialogue with the works.
The artists Annie-Marie Akussah, Marie Hazard, Sumiko Oé-Gottini, Damien Poulain, Enrique Veganzones, Matthias Vico Persson and Charlotte von Poehl have thus been invited to immerse themselves in the collection by selecting around ten works with which they feel a particular “resonance”.
