Programme
Stop The Machine !
To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, the Musée régional d’art contemporain Occitanie in Sérignan has invited curator Fabrice Bousteau to devise an extraordinarily bold, large-scale exhibition featuring more than 400 works from the Occitanie Region’s three contemporary art collections, spanning 1968 to the present day: Frac Occitanie Montpellier, Frac Occitanie Toulouse – Les Abattoirs and Mrac Occitanie in Sérignan.
Far removed from traditional thematic or chronological exhibitions, Stop The Machine! offers a sensory experience that moves from one colour to the next, from shadow to light, from participation to contemplation. The works of 250 artists enter into dialogue, complementing or confronting one another along a free-flowing, labyrinthine route across eras, practices, generations and origins.
