The exhibition focuses on the paths of certain individuals, drawing attention to those little considered by traditional historical writing. Gathering works by artists, writers, sociologists and activists from 1960s until the present day the exhibition tries to make visible diverse forms of resistance to the overwhelming forces of a globalised world.

Journeying through four centuries and some fifteen themes, Bohemias sheds light on a phenomenon which traverses the history of art and society from Leonardo da Vinci to Picasso and still resonates in our contemporary world. Like Puccini’s opera, this exhibition aims to be a popular event, mixing fantasy and gravity, show and melancholy, misery and glory.

(French only) La réputation internationale d’Arthur Luiz Piza fut basée sur son talent de graveur, son évolution l’a amené d’abord aux collages en papier, multicolores, puis son besoin d’espace l’a par la suite conduit à aborder la sculpture, dans les matériaux insolites de treillages métalliques agrémentés d’éléments formels en papier.

The starting point of Roman Ondák’s artwork is the place in which he is working. The architecture represents the point of departure, along with how the space is lived in, whether by the visitors or those that work there.

The narratives included in Bertille Bak’s films bridge various domains: the poetic, the sociological, the imaginary and the documentary genre. Having followed the teaching of Christian Boltanski as a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the artist is a narrator who chooses light-hearted tales as a means of telling her stories.

From idleness to work, from reverie to the object itself, the shift that comes from adapting, the hesitation before completion, Letting the Imagination Drift draws visitors into the very heart of the creative act.

The exhibition is constructed as a mental landscape, organized around a certain number of modules. Visitors will be able to test prototypes of working objects or experience particular situations. In this “campsite of works” where artifice replaces nature and nature has been overcome, surrounded, the outside is brought in — F. Hyber

In Esperluette, a slide show of objects offers an open window on the artist’s mental landscape. Viewers are invited to recreate this “curious collection of things”. Metamorphosed in this way, the objects are given a new context, a stage, a real seeing machine, where all connections seem possible.

The artists question information associated with history, the heritage of modernist utopias, and develop art engaged with an extremely complex political and cultural reality. Moving images appear as a favoured means of defining new links with reality and undertaking an analysis of images from the past.

The life of an artwork is often unpredictable. It can be exuberant or modest, changing according to moods, different lighting and modes of displays. For Easy Living, the artworks put down their baggage and set up home at Less Is More Projects. They settle in, deciding to sleep in the room, testing the limits of the necessities required for everyday life.

The exhibition brings together a dozen films and videos forming part of the collection of FRAC Île-de-France. The two exhibition spaces — the CPIF and the Parc Culturel de Rentilly — will be plunged into darkness in order to make the projections visible. Visitors will meander through the penumbral setting encountering animated images.
