Alongside these works, the exhibition juxtaposes works borrowed or specifically created by artists living in France, not to say geographically close to macLYON. It takes the form of an investigation across history, drawing on the collections of the Lyon Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Musée d’Art Contemporain (macLYON). Its main thrust is an exploration of the question of travel, whether impeded or imposed, voluntary or provoked, individually or in a group, and the consequences of it for those affected. This exhibition is directly inspired by the recent collective, worldwide experience of confinement, which was imposed more or less simultaneously for health reasons on the majority of people on the planet. Particularly in today’s world, both public and private, where violence, whether physical or mental, has been normalized or rendered banal.Ĭomme un parfum d’aventure
Often accompanied by animals, translated into sculptures for this exhibition, these young figures subtly embody some of the fundamental questions connected to the construction of one’s identity and the freedom of self-expression. Their gaze is absent, elusive, at times direct, but always imbued with emotion and humanity. This self-taught artist has been making a name for himself over the past few years with his accomplished drawings of an impressive psychological depth: in particular, his representations of taciturn children and teenagers. The Musée d’Art Contemporain de Lyon hosts Edi Dubien for his first solo museum exhibition.
