Programme
Materialists
The exhibition takes a sensitive look at materials, through a selection of manifesto objects, totem poles, paper sculptures, bindings, plant dyes and stone furniture.... Following on from two exhibitions devoted to the work of artist-craftsmen, this exhibition should be seen as Chapter 3, the continuation of an exploration into the heart of contemporary arts and crafts. In this new chapter, man and the environment are linked by materiality, and we explore a world of living beings and materials where man is an extension of his environment. Here, materiality is permeable, and the boundaries are blurred between our landscapes and our bodies.
