Programme
à Vincent : un conte d’hiver
Inspired by Vincent’s correspondence, 21 modern and contemporary artists take up the themes he addressed and present their works to him as if they were letters. In doing so, they fulfill Van Gogh’s wish to be “a link in the chain of artists.”
With: Harold Ancart, Jacopo Benassi, Martin Boyce, James Castle, Louise Chennevière, Gérard Collin-Thiébaut, Rineke Dijkstra, Simone Fattal, Gustave Fayet, Dominique Ferrat, Joseph Grigely, Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Isidore Isou, Ann Veronica Janssens, Hans Josephsohn, Anselm Kiefer, Mark Manders, Sylvain Prudhomme, Louise Sartor, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rico Weber
& Vincent van Gogh.
S U S P E C T S – Van Gogh, Tricksters & Co.
Inspired by the figure of the trickster—the cunning disruptor found in myths across cultures—the exhibition brings together around thirty artists following Van Gogh, from Picasso to the present, including Cindy Sherman and Maurizio Cattelan. Through irony, provocation and excess, their works challenge conventions. All are suspects.
