The exhibition Ces dernières années proposes to look together at how the artworks that have recently entered the collection of the Frac Bretagne reflect the sounds of our world. They evoke with poetry and commitment the feminist and ecological questions, the notions of withdrawal and confinement, popular struggles or social conditions.
Autumn 2021. The world seems to be slowly emerging from the lethargy imposed by the global pandemic. What we all hope will be a global accident will have acted as a magnifying glass on social and societal inequalities. If the entire planet has suffered from this virus, it is clear that we have not been treated equally according to our social condition, our skin color, our gender or our country. Beyond the COVID-19 crisis, the last few years have also generated real awareness that we hope will last. Whether they reveal themselves through violent or pacifist demands, legitimate or debatable, they have nevertheless allowed us to “problematize” a world too reluctant to question its fundamentals
Finally, because a public collection of contemporary art is also, and perhaps even above all, a meeting of artistic expressions present and active in a here and now.
