For its traditional annual exhibition under the vaults of the Conciergerie, the CMN invites collector François Pinault to present a selection of works, most of which have never been seen before in Paris. The chosen theme is that of confinement, with the aim of addressing two styles of seclusion: the real one of prison and the mental one of madness. Thirty artists have been chosen, including big names like Bill Viola, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and Damien Hirst, as well as young artists like Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, Ahmed Alsoudani, and Mona Hatoum.
In the publication accompanying this event, two literary figures take part: the novelist Marie Darrieussecq and Thierry Grillet. Let us read the stimulating paradox developed by the latter, evoking the creative physical confinement of a Marcel Proust, or the psychological one of a Thomas Bernhard: "Before being a political animal, man is, for Leroi-Gourhan, a territorial animal. Delimit, mark, appropriate.
To be happy, man needs doors. Doors that he can lock with a double turn. The threshold is sacred. The limit is consecrated. With doors, there is an inside, there is an outside. For the anthropologist, confinement is not hell. On the contrary. To lock oneself away is first and foremost to protect oneself.
