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.
