fter three exhibitions, considered important in France today, from 2011, 2013, and 2015, that regroup Aover sixty international artists, always hosted by the museum of the Halle Saint Pierre museum (Paris), HEY! has refreshed the experience of big group exhibitions within institutions, in France. Provoked by the Halle Saint Pierre museum, this 4th exhibition – the fruit of the association between the HEY! curation and this historical French space for singular art and art brut - is on a mission: to offer visibility to art carrying an aesthetic overshadowed by dominant academics, and ignored by the radars of conventional criticism. “Three exhibitions, in 2011, 2013, and 2015, don’t seem to have been enough to expose the breadth of genres and families that make up this other artistic scene. Thus, we bring the same passion to this new exhibition, hoping to do justice both geographically and historically. With the thirty or so artists gathered here, we will be able to experience the emancipating reach of their works as they hold open the door to our imaginary spaces, irreducible in all of us,” says Martine Lusardy, director of the Halle Saint Pierre.

edicated to outsider pop – a term instated by Anne & Julien in 2010 – this 2019 edition presents, Don the upper level, thirty-seven artists from eighteen different countries to explore the value of exclusively figurative art. In a parallel exhibition, on the lower level, the Halle Saint Pierre has invited The Intuit Center (The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art) of Chicago, whose mission is, “Drawing on the power of outsider art to transcend borders—those drawn on maps as well as those existing only in our minds.” They are a natural and coherent counterpart to the HEY! exhibition, a strong proposal on European territory, and a celebration of the Outsider as a vital force. Outsider Art and Outsider Pop is what we are committed to, outside of the “doxas of contemporary art.”

EY! modern art & pop culture – IV defends “outsider pop culture”, or the aesthetic incarnation Hof counter cultural discourse faced with images and icons produced my mass media. The curatorial approach of Anne de HEY!, following the example of the editorial commitment of the journal she directs, assembles works fed by transversal disciplines, lights, and gestures, in which pop culture and figuration continue to embody a source of delight and a horizon towards the imagination. Call it a true pop iconology, in which the particular is preferred to the average, the surprising to the obvious.

“We have a devouring passion for sites that are freed from the norm, we have fought to create an alternative vision of a one-sided culture since 2010, helping to unveil a whole mass of contemporary art looked down upon by critics and the big market. This approach supports artists to get through the locked doors of museums and art galleries. To fulfill this mission, we have created a unique magazine. Dedicated to contemporary figurative pop art and born from the codes of worldwide counterculture, our mag transmits the very energy of our time.” HEY! team 36 artists, 17 countries Vasilis Avramidis (Greece) mad meg (France) Gil Batle (USA) Gerard Mas (Spain) Jürg Benninger (Swiss) Masayoshi Hanawa (Japan) Nils Bertho (France) Mothmeister (Belgium) Troy Brooks (Canada) Heather O’Shaughnessy (USA) Chen M (Belgium) Agathe Pitié (France) Maryrose Crook (New-Zeland) Osvaldo Ramirez-Castillo (Canada) Mikaël De Poissy (France) David Rochline (France) Fulvio Di Piazza (Italy) Shelter Shirrstone (Russia) Claire Fanjul (France) Heidi Taillefer (Canada) Alessandro Gallo (Italy) The Kid (Netherlands, Brasil) Séverine Gambier (France) Paul Toupet (France) Davor Gromilovic (Serbia) Yannick Unfricht (France) Filip Hodas (Czech Republic) Henriette Valium (Canada) Nancy Josephson (USA) Nathalie Verdon (Swiss) Kris Kuksi (USA) Quan Wansanit Deslouis (Thailand) Brigitte Lajoinie (France) Betsy Youngquist Mathieu Lewin (France) & R.

The HEY Effect! follows the he artistic categories that shaped the Western active principle of the hive, deploys the energy of Tacademic tradition, aesthetics and iconography the communities it supports and of which it is made, are now at the heart of a bustling mutation; and creates a dynamism and a reactive vitality, as well as today's art overflows its heritage.

This shift - where HEY! turns out to be defense of works of artists little or never seen, and by a the coagulating agent - brings a rich and distinctive slanting observation revealing invisible subtexts.

ACTIVE PRINCIPLES APPLIED TO THE ENTIRE ARTISTIC PROJECT HEY! AND DEPLOYED IN 3 DIMENSIONS:

AN ART MAG, EXHIBITIONS IN MUSEUMS, ART CENTERS AND GALLERIES, LIVE SHOWS, INCLUDING PERFORMANCE.

“The universes that we publish militate for a stimulating rather than a competitive world. Figurative pop art defended in HEY! modern art & pop culture is at the crossroads of scholarly culture and pop culture, where the reconciliation between "knowledge" and "self-taught experience" lies. Join OUR SIDE in the battle for recognition of another type of 21st century contemporary art!” Anne & Julien (2016) About Musée de La Halle Saint Pierre (Paris)

ithin the walls of a beautiful Baltard-style building, facing Wthe gardens of the Butte Montmartre and just two steps away from the Sacre Coeur, the Halle Saint Pierre houses a museum, an art gallery, an art bookshop, an auditorium, and a Parisian café-restaurant. Within this harmonious and light- filled framework, major exhibitions have been presented as well as many artistic and cultural activities dedicated to the most unexpected forms of art. This space opened in 1995 as was dedicated to Art Brut and the Singuliers (the hidden side of contemporary art). At its inauguration, the site brought together five major French collections of Art Brut and Art Singulier. Since then, more than sixty exhibitions have been shown focusing on continuous research and reflection into unusual and extraordinary forms of contemporary creation. The museum, whose mission is to promote Art Brut and Singuliers was, from the first edition of Hey!, immediately attracted to the iconoclastic spirit of the HEY! project. 2011 HEY!
