BRICOLOGY*. THE MOUSE AND THE PARROT

As well as works and anonymous objects from the Museum of arts and popular traditions of Draguignan, from the departmental Museum of Grasse, of the Museum of "Métiers d'antan" of Tourrettes-Levens, from the New national museum of Monaco, from the Museum of archaeology site of Cimiez and the museum Palace Masséna of Nice. The traditional gap between art and technique has narrowed. Artists have never been so interested in manipulating tools, experimenting with materials, inventing procedures, so interested in crafts and new technologies. In a group show reuniting more than thirty artists and works from different fields of production (folk art, crafts...), the curators of the exhibition, Burkard Blümlein, Thomas Golsenne and Sarah Tritz, intend to demonstrate that to make, is to think. Simultaneously, another exhibition entitled Jippie Jaa Jaa Jippie Jippie Jaay ! featuring a dozen young artists from the art school in Braunschweig testifies to the ident ity and richness of their technical culture.

* The word “bricology” is coined from the French word “bricolage” (do-it-yourself) and “technology”.
