"Mettre au monde" proposes to extend the notion of creation and creativity to the intimate and family sphere of artists.
Being a parent and an artist, what impact on creation?
“Bringing into the world,” questions the complex interaction between creation, beginnings, the public sphere, privacy, intimacy and extimity, while questioning the tenuous balance between these worlds in the life of a parent artist, active and independent, especially in the field of visual arts, which is still too little structured in the social support of its actors. Carried out with four hands between the curators Amélie Adamo and Lucile Hitier, the exhibition "Putting into the world" supports a selection of artists who have - at some point in their lives - dedicated their creation to their family, their child, the body inhabited, to the nourishing body or to artistic practice with four hands.
“To give birth” is an exhibition that is conceived above all as an ode to life. Through the choice of approaches, it reveals what is enjoyment in creation. A creation that absorbs in its process the disturbances of life and interacts with the act of procreating. Here, family life, parenthood, give rise to multiple representations, between link and obstruction, innocence and violence, joy and sorrow, momentum and fear.
In this, the exhibition is meant to be critical. Criticism of the taboos and prejudices concerning the notion of parenthood, which the artists present envisage not through an ideal vision but rather in its polarities, but also critical of a society of competitiveness where it is difficult to think of mixing an artist’s life with a family life, as if the two universes could not coexist.
