Sans réserve — Nouvelle exposition des œuvres de la collection — MAC VAL Musée d'art contemporain du Val-de-Marne — Exhibition — Slash Paris

Past: June 30, 2017 → June 30, 2018

Conceived around historic artworks from the museum collection as well as new acquisitions, this 8th exhibition of the museum collection artworks revolves around the construction of narratives. Its aim is to have a look at the expressive power of artworks, at their ability to tell stories, to question and suggest. Quiet or talkative, discreet or immersive, sometime contemplative, artworks all have stories to tell. They spark emotions and reveal the fragility of situations while embarking us through reality, fiction or imagination.

The exhibition also reflects the collection history: a long journey punctuated by discoveries, intuitions, encounters and reunions, which, through time, led to the constitution of large and significant groups of works by major artistic figures of today’s creation.
