From June 11 to September 18, 2022, the Musée des beaux-arts, Les Champs Libres and Frac Bretagne are presenting a major collective exhibition entitled Pas sommeil. La fête dans toutes ses états”, dedicated to the notion of celebration as a fruitful experience invested by artists. This theme is deeply rooted in Rennes' DNA and driven by the common desire to meet again after two years of health restrictions. Summer 2022 would thus be the (great) evening in which transgressions carrying collective convergence, the creative encounter of meaning and form will once again be possible.
The exhibition is thus open, festive, poetic, generous but also contemplative, surly and militant. It evokes the celebration in its broader meaning – from the impromptu popular gathering to the dance floor, from the village fair to the rock concert, from the techno rave to the queer culture…. bringing together artistic practices from all walks of life. The festival is seen as a place of rejoicing as much as that of resistance, of social, identity and cultural claim as of catharsis, that of the spectacular as of the intimate.
By investing the universe of the festival, the works presented invite visitors to live a unique experience, challenging their five senses, encouraging interaction with the proposed devices and the setting in motion of their bodies. The aesthetics, the atmospheres, the signals, the equipment extracted from the festive world are transposed and put at the service of the works of art, with a good dose of humor.

The museum of the Fine Arts of Rennes is, as most museums of France, a revolutionary creation. Established(Constituted) in 1794 from works seized in the religious and civil buildings of the city, the museum of Fine Arts pulls(fires) however the largest part of its treasures of the fabulous cabinet(office) of curiosity of Christophe-Paul de Robien (1698-1756), govern the Parliament of Brittany. This encyclopaedic collection was one of the richest of Europe: paintings(paints), sculptures, Egyptian, Greek and especially Celtic antiques(antiquities), works of art resulting(coming) from all continents, as well as exceptional set(group) of drawings where mix Léonard de Vinci, Botticelli, Dürer and Rembrandt. Between 1801 and 1811, sendings of the State come supplement the initial fund(collection) and bring works of the utmost importance, existent from Parisian revolutionary confiscations and from conquests of the French armies which the Central Museum of the Louvre could not contain any more. So, big(great) heads - of work illustrating the different European schools of painting(paint) enter the collection: Véronèse, Perseus freeing(delivering) Andromède, Rubens, The Hunting in tiger or Brown with the colossal Descent from the cross of the chapel of Versailles. In the XIXth century, purchases realised by the State in Lounges(Shows) enrich the museum of significant works of the common(current) officials, especially the extravagant(eccentric) picture(board) of Edward Toudouze, Eros and Aphrodite. The installation in 1855 of the museum in a new building(ship) also sheltering the University provokes donations and important legacies: The gift(donation) of Eugene Froment (Amaury-Duval, Portrait of Isaure Chassériau) and the legacy of Paul Lucas which endows the museum of a collection of Italian Primitives. Harmed by the Second World War, the museum of the Fine Arts of Rennes is the object of a renovation in 1957, accompanied with an active politics(policy) of acquisitions which lets in the collection to the modernity: Impressionnistes with Gustave Caillebotte, Canoes and the School of Pont-Aven, Emile Bernard, The yellow Tree, Paul Sérusier, Solitude and the blue Navy of Georges Lacombe. For twenty years, the museum established(constituted) a set(group) modest but representative of diverse artistic currents of the XXth century, for which some heads - of work are counted: Frantisek Kupka, unstable Blues(Bruises), Pablo Picasso, Bather in Dinard, Yves Tanguy, The Inspiration, etc. The collection of contemporary art developed according to two main axes: the artists native to Brittany, as the Poster artists and the different currents of the abstraction of Sam Francis to Aurelie Nemours.
