The fruit of a collaborative process, “Coller l’oreille aux colimaçons” is a multi-temporal exhibition. The different perspectives of the eleven curators on works from the Frac Île-de-France collection and those of artists who have just graduated from the Beaux-Arts and Arts Décoratifs schools in Paris, are nourished by the philosophical concept of “whirling origin “, which envisages time no longer as linear, but as being in perpetual motion. Contrary to the idea of a single, fixed point of departure, the origin here is apprehended as a tumultuous flow, enabling a new conception of history in which past, present and future intermingle.
Stemming from different creative contexts, the works presented in the exhibition respond to each other by proposing common themes or forms.
