Freed from the dogmas and linear logic of art history, the exhibition "Carambolages", born from a transcultural and timeless reflection on art, offers an atypical journey, echoing today's questions. It deploys a cascade of often surprising works, chosen for their visual force and evocative power, in a dynamic sequence where each creation presented depends on the previous one and inspires the next according to a play of visual, analogical or semantic correspondences. Ancient votive offerings, contemporary pieces, Western paintings, medieval or exotic weapons, masks and statuettes, Inuit or Oceanic objects, Western and Eastern ceramics combine in a sensitive ballet that breaks down the barriers of art history categories. Without denying bookish knowledge, "Carambolages" gives priority to the gaze and emotion. A playful traveling that makes art accessible to all.
