Following the success of the Before Time Began exhibition, the Opale Foundation is embarking on a new adventure by bringing contemporary Aboriginal art into dialogue with the most important contemporary artistic expressions that emerged in Western and, sometimes, Eastern contexts. The works presented are part of two distinct collections, but both possess great beauty and profound meaning: the Aboriginal art collection belongs to Bérengère Primat, the contemporary art collection to Garance Primat. These are true resonances that one perceives—with the eyes and the movements of the soul—when observing these works, which, despite their different genealogies, manage to build an effective and powerful dialogue. The bond that is created suggests a unity: heaven and earth meet, and people also meet, not only among themselves but with the earth and the universe. An infinite circularity that engenders harmony. This is the starting point of the volume Resonances, which accompanies the exhibition of the same name and is inspired by the following thought of Gulumbu Yunupingu, a Yolngu artist from Arnhem Land (Northern Australia): "[... ] I looked at the universe, I looked at this place, the Earth, the people and the stars, and I said to myself: we are exactly like the stars. Grouped together, very close to each other. In fact, we are one, like the stars. There are so many of us living on Earth. The land, the sea, the sky, it's a continuum. It's one and the same thing [...]." Thanks to the approximately eighty works of art selected and explored in the volume, created by fifty-four artists, Georges Petitjean, Hervé Mikaeloff and Ingrid Pux will have the opportunity to highlight the stellar dust and the Earth's crust that we are, for which the works of art speak. Among the Aboriginal artists on display are Rover Thomas, Gulumbu Yunupingu, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Judy Watson, Sally Gabori, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Paddy Bedford, nonggirrnga Marawili, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa and John Mawurndjul. And among the artists from Western and Eastern traditions: Jean Dubuffet, Kiki Smith, Anselm Kiefer, Sol LeWitt, Yayoi Kusama, Giuseppe Penone, Anish Kapoor.
