The present exhibition includes some seventy works that illustrate the recent focus of the museum on contemporary drawings, with the accent on work with a surrealistic mentality. All these drawings are rooted in some form of automatic imagination. They feature an almost outsider-like concentration, and strive to create their own world view.

Soppiness and romance novels aside, being in love represents a sort of disseminating synthesis, scattering here and there an energy that secretly binds society together. An instinctual, self-renewing force lies behind the quibbling reason: the power of life. The fourth issue of the Cahiers européens de l’imaginaire will have this “order of love” as its theme.

Of Beasts and Super-Beasts is Raqib Shaw’s 1st solo exhibition. His anthropomorphic figures have heads like birds, crocodiles or tigers, somewhere between gods and heroes, and parody our perception of society. Inspired by the first Empire style, his precious aesthetics goes beyond the decorative in order to question the role of art in Western society.

After many travels, Herman De Vries has developed a critical way of thinking towards the social context ; now looking for new relations with the nature (exhibitions of plants collected during journeys, stones or dried flowers, scrubbing of earth from various origins on papers), he aims at “objectifying chance” and acts as a revelation of our environment.

Thibault de Gialluly is like a social researcher who would have the energy of a perk teenager. Trying to represent people who act, he depicts a heterogeneous society pervaded by rebellion, onto which he grafts his experiments. His works evoke something to everyone without compelling themselves to follow a single code.

In Openings, Mann displays several new bodies of lens-less photographic work. Through a series of bleaching, cutting, and folding techniques, Mann has continued to engage in the delicate, purposeful effacement of photographic paper. Deriving influence from American artist Gordon Matta-Clark, who often cut directly into, and removed entire sections of, abandoned buildings.

Vittorio Santoro’s works are rooted in everyday observations—interactions of individual agency within larger networks of clichés, common ideals, processes involving manipulation and power—, but push beyond them to reveal historical, aesthetic, metaphysical realities. “Owls Turn Their Entire Head to Change Views” is his first solo exhibition in Paris.

What does “Patagonia” call to mind? A land at the edge of the world, with indeterminate outlines, the myth of Patagonian giants, fabulous animals left over from prehistoric times. On a chronological stroll punctuated by images and sounds, visitors are swept up in the magic of the narrative alternating between evocations of the fantastic and reality.

Forecast, sought, feared, Rain is also associated to musical analogies; it requires protection, but it is hailed as the greatest gift of all and ultimately, deified. Through a selection of artefacts, the exhibition explores how the trivial and the spiritual, the profane and the religious, are confronted and united in almost a metaphor of life itself.

“Paires et Séries”, featuring some sixty paintings, will examine a distinctive aspect of Matisse’s art. His repeated exlorations of the same subject through variations of framing, draughtsmanship, brushwork and color, are for him a way of exploring at itself, and for the spectator, the way to understand the line of development of his work as a whole.

During the entire ten year period of the project — 1929-1939 — Berenice Abbott produced the finest record ever made of an American City. Her point was graphically to capture the times, to make a record, in as artistic a fashion as possible, that would be of use to historians, sociologists and even art critics.
