Open and evolving, this collection proliferates like an archipelago, bringing together islands of utopia, passion, and revolt. From Dada to the Beat Generation and happenings, from surrealism to contemporary art, the collection is international, polycentric, and offers a new mental geography—in short, rhizomes. The exhibition offers a journey through art from the 18th to the 21st century. The works and artists, whether André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Victor Hugo, Francis Picabia, Ghérasim Luca, Henri Michaux, or Antonin Artaud, create side roads across chronologies and categories. Objects of use, belief, or ritual encounter celebrated figures, alongside works usually relegated to the margins of the museum world. "Archipel pays tribute to those who imposed neither limits nor specialties on themselves and who sought to change lives, to transform what already exists and to change our views on art and the world.
