This exhibition questions the way in which artists approach, explore and appropriate the essential question of the crossing, a metaphor for the evolution of our humanity. It shows the systems of representation that refer to the state of the world or the way in which artists help us understand the problems at stake at a time when we envision the future of humanity. The exhibition reveals the concerns of artists who cross borders to address more universal issues. Thus a new frontier is drawn, mixing desire, poetry, memory and hope. Open-plan for this exhibition, the spaces of the Fresnoy invite to the crossing.
