Mutantes
Women in collections
Opening of the exhibition: Saturday June 26 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m
With the presence of the curator Diane Antille
On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of women's suffrage (1971), the exhibition Mutantes takes female artists as its starting point and invites us to take a new look at the collections.
With modern and contemporary works, the exhibition brings together well-known and forgotten artists, from different periods and using different techniques. Through an abundant and decompartmentalizing journey, the public will be able to question the shackles and classifications that distinguish the norm from the margins, the major from the minor. Which works remain more easily in the shadows because of their technical singularity or their subject? Has the history of artistic movements obscured some of its protagonists? Do thematic classifications reduce artists to gender stereotypes?
By bringing together prints, ceramics, paintings and medals, including many works that are being exhibited for the first time, Mutantes encourages us to move away from the reproduction of dominant models and opens up another field of possibilities, both inside and outside the museum.
