Faire signe

Resulting from a partnership between La Criée, Rennes Centre for Con­tem­po­rary Art and the BPS22, Faire Signe proposed a selection of works of the Hainaut Province collection from Surrealism to today in Rennes.

This selection was declined in three propo­si­tions of vision and journeys: poetic divagation, the criticism of social codes and finally, political questioning, thereby offering fascinating angles between very different artists and works.

If every work in a collection and page of history requires a veritable requirement in terms of analysis and research, the works are also there to remind us how self-criticism, humour and our relation to sen­si­tive­ness are the fun­da­men­tals of our opening onto the world. The asso­ci­a­tions put in place by the curator between the various works of this show, as evident, curious or paradoxical as they might be, par­tic­i­pat­ed to the desire to enjoy what artworks offer us to protect these openings that are so many precious spaces of freedom.
