Mélancolies

Opening night: 15.05.2025 at 6pm

We looked for a common thread, patiently, as if reversing down the paths travelled over the last five years. Our ambition was to take stock of our activities, to better understand them and make them emerge. Unless you take a step back, you never know exactly what you have done, do you? What did we exhibit? Which works and why? The extraordinary diversity and beauty of the works in the collection dazzle us just as much today as in the past. And the evidence for us, that the issue of mental disability or so-called cognitive deficiencies becomes secondary when we try to identify in one word, to interpret a gesture what, when faced with these images, never ceases to set us in motion. Furthermore, this has been at the heart of our reflection from the beginning: to free the collection from narrowmindedness and from conventional representations of the margin, of difference, of otherness. In fact, the latter does not come from the essence, but it is institutional or circumstantial. For those who are open to it, otherness is a form of shared interiority. So, what are the emotions, the enigmas, the beauty, the truth? For the last five years, what has caused the collection to take flight, other than us finally understanding melancholy? Melancholy is neither joy, nor sadness; neither remembering nor forgetting; neither beauty, nor ugliness; neither hope, nor despair; neither desire, nor renunciation; neither emptiness nor fullness, but comes from the place where each of us is constantly emerging.

Un monde à soi - Inès Andouche

Opening night: 15.05.2025 at 6pm

Would it be possible to think with your hands or fingers, when speech is not being used? Black circles and large flat areas of colour, clear lines, warm or cold lights, always saturated, faces without eyes and eyes without expression. Would it be possible to see without eyes when exchanging glances is unfounded? Who is a person and who is not? A chimera, a bird, an object, a monster, a landscape? Who speaks and who is silent? The line travels across the page. Bodies emerge, lengthen, twist, and mingle. There is no longer any depth or concept of distance. Everything is thrown together, as if in one single gesture: people and things in equal parts; fixed, frozen in the moment of their metamorphosis, solitary, together and sovereign. The world runs under Inès Andouche’s skin, depositing thin films on the page or canvas. Skin against skin: a world of our own!
