Pour pallier les limites imposées par la pandémie en matière de mise en valeur d’artistes et de lever de fonds, le MIANM lance en ce début d’année 2021 un projet d’exposition-vente qui répond à ces deux objectifs. L’exposition met en vedette les artistes Cecilia Bazante, Gaëtan Bibeau, le regretté Alain Bissonnette, Guylaine Cliche, Mariette Giguère-Corriveau et Barbara Sala, ainsi qu’une sélection d’artistes de la Galerie Jeannine-Blais, généreuse alliée du MIANM.
Les artistes naïfs sont pour la plupart des conteurs qui nous présentent leur vision du monde. Hommes ou femmes, ils nous révèlent des facettes de leur culture. Mais, nous présentent-ils les mêmes ? C’est la question qu’explore cette exposition.
Expo-vente d’une quinzaine de tableaux grands formats du peintre Marcel Dargis.
Il existe en Haute Égypte, dans la ville d’Akhmîm, un regroupement de femmes qui produisent en broderies des tableaux d’art naïf exceptionnels. Issues de milieux défavorisés, elles sont autodidactes et laissent libre cours à leur créativité poursuivant une tradition locale millénaire.
Over the past year, due to the pandemic, the normal operations of our museum have been disrupted in many ways, from simple programming changes to the complete closure of our spaces and activities. Only our online presence has been able to be maintained without interruption and, even, increased in some respects.
In this context, our ability to raise funds has of course been impacted, as has our ability to showcase our artists. It is to remedy this double situation that we are launching an sale-exhibition project at the start of 2021 which, while offering different artists the opportunity to exhibit their works and sell them, will also allow at the Museum to raise funds. The exhibition features artists Cecilia Bazante, Gaëtan Bibeau, the late Alain Bissonnette, Guylaine Cliche, Mariette Giguère-Corriveau and Barbara Sala, as well as a selection of artists from the Jeannine-Blais Gallery, a generous ally of the MIANM.
The exhibition is accessible now both on our website and at the Museum.
Naive artists are mostly storytellers who present their vision of the world to us. Men or women, they reveal facets of their culture to us. But, do they present us the same? This is the question that this exhibition explores.
A sale-exhibition of fifteen large-format paintings by the painter Marcel Dargis.
In Upper Egypt, in the city of Akhmîm, there is a group of women who produce exceptional paintings of naive art in embroidery. Coming from underprivileged backgrounds, they are self-taught and give free rein to their creativity, pursuing a thousand-year-old local tradition.
