Découvrez l'exposition « Éloge du trait » dans la collection agnès b.

La Fab.

At La Fab., in the 13th arrondissement, the exhibition "Éloge du trait" explores the richness of the line in all its forms. Drawing, photography, sculpture and installations from the collection agnès b. compose a journey where the line becomes a common language between the works. The exhibition Éloge du trait takes as its starting point the poem Aventures de lignes by the writer Henri Michaux, written after his discovery of a painting by Paul Klee. In it, the poet captures the movement and musicality of the line, in its emergence both fragile and ephemeral. This attention paid to the line as a primary gesture, to this fragile moment when a line begins to exist, gives its breath to the whole exhibition. Bringing together drawings, but also photographs, videos, sculptures and installations, the exhibition explores how the line, in varied forms and media, becomes a vector of energy, rhythm and structure. Through a selection of works from the collection agnès b., the journey highlights practices where the line, freed from any descriptive function, engages the body, organizes space and reveals a sensitive and interior dimension. From the most minimal trace to its deployments in space, the line appears as a shared visual language, capable of articulating the visible and opening onto a plurality of interpretations. With: Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, François Curlet, Tracey Emin, Simon Hantaï, Mona Hatoum, Lucien Hervé, Donald Judd, Harmony Korine, Didier Marcel, Henri Michaux, Man Ray, Robert Wilson… La Fab.: Founded in 2020 by agnès b. — stylist, patron, gallerist and collector — La Fab. embodies the singular vision of a committed figure of the contemporary art scene.
