This exhibition provides an opportunity to reflect and envisage art in terms of memory, a faculty that defines us in the present and determines our future. Many exhibited artists therefore make use of other times and other cinematic or visual works in which a negotiating game between the memory of a past is recognised as an authority, and the opening of a future, of a creative space, can be observed. Its doors will temporarily open from January 17 to April 17 to present the exhibition Se Souvenir des Belles Choses, a selection of works from FRAC LR, presented to materialise metaphorically the moment of the museum’s transformation centred on the idea of active memory, that of the viewer as well as of the works themselves and the artists who create them. This exhibition also presents a work by Bruno Peinado, an artist whose work will be presented in the museum exhibition space from spring 2016, at the opening of the reimagined Mrac, and whose extension façades will be covered by the permanent work of this same artist.īefore this unveiling and owing to extension works, the museum will be closed to the public from Novemto January 15, 2016. There are just a few days left to discover the humorous and poetic video sketches by Wood and Harrison, POFs (Prototype d’Objets en Fonctionnement (Prototypes of Objects in Operation)) by Fabrice Hyber, as well as the photo by Per Barclay that unites beauty with violence and serenity with anxiety. These are the last remaining days to take advantage of the exhibition Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, loosely inspired by the novel of the same name written by the Irish novelist and poet James Joyce, combining new acquisitions and existing works from the Mrac collection.
