COLLECTION BRUNO DECHARME & COMPAGNIE

July 1 – September 22, 2019 

Opening: July 1 

on the occasion of Arles. Les Rencontres de la Photographie

"Could 'raw photography' be classified as art brut ('raw art'), as defined by Jean Dubuffet? If so, it would include shots, prints, photomontages and photo collages created by self-taught artists, developed outside of conventional art circles, in contexts such as mental institutions, solitude and marginality, both in cities and rural areas. Photo | Brut presents more than 500 works from the Bruno Decharme collection, as well as a selection of other institutional and private collections chosen for their complementarity. This exhibition addresses four central themes ('Private Affairs', 'Reformating the world', 'Performing, or another I', 'Warding off the reality') and its aim is to grasp and introduce this art form to the public, art brut being a concept studied by few despite its significant and fascinating field.

With works by Horst Ademeit, Shell L. Alpert, Steve Ashby, Morton Bartlett, Marcel Bascoulard, John Brill, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, Felipe Jesus Consalvos, Aloïse Corbaz, Jesuys Crystiano, Henry Darger, Charles Dellschau, John Devlin, Curzio Di Giovanni, Fumiho Endo, Karel Forman, Frédéric, Pepe Gaitán, Giovanni Galli, Pietro Ghizzardi, Lee Godie, Yohann Goetzmann, Kasuo Handa, Marian Henel, Mark Hogancamp, Paul Humphrey, Günter K., Zdenek Košek, Alexandre Lobanov, Tomasz Machciński, « Margret », Alexandre Medvedev, Donald Mitchell, Albert Moser, Edward Nadgrodzki, Norma Oliver, Photographies Spirites, Luboš Plný, Ilmari Salminen, Milton Schwartz, Ted Serios, Valentin Simankov, Leopold Strobl, Ichiwo Sugino, Elke Tangeten, Dominique Théate, Miroslav Tichý, Ufos, Elisabeth Van Vyve, August Walla, Melvin Way, Adolf Wölfli, Zorro, and numerous anonymous persons. (...)"

The Musée d’art moderne Lille Métropole reopened

After four years of work devoted to the renovation of the original building of Roland Simounet and its park, as well as its restructuring and extension by Manuelle Gautrand, the Musée d’art moderne Lille Métropole reopened this fall with a new name: the LaM, Lille Métropole Musée d’art moderne, d’art contemporain et d’art brut. The concomitant display offers a fresh approach to the art of the 20th and 21st centuries, and throws new light on the history of art through major temporary exhibitions.

As the only museum in Europe to present simultaneously the principal movements of the art of the 20th and 21st centuries, the LaM will propose to the public a prestigious collection of modern art, outstanding examples of contemporary art and a collection of art brut that has no equal in France. These three collections bring together nearly 4,500 works. In 1999, these collections were enriched with the largest collection of art brut in France, thanks to the donation made by the association L’Aracine.

The L’Aracine collection was initiated by Madelaine Lommel in 1983. This donation to the LaM consists of 3,500 works by 170 French and foreign artists: drawings, paintings, assemblages, objects and sculptures. The biggest names in art brut are represented in it: André Robillard, Aloïse, Barbier Müller, Carlo Zinelli, Joseph Crépin, Henry Darger, Paul End, Auguste Forestier, Abbé Fouré, Madge Gill. With a total exhibition space of some 4,000 m2, the LaM is now the first museum to present simultaneously collections of modern art, contemporary art, and the largest French collection of art brut, which was donated by L’Aracine in 1999.
