Curated by the French thinker Georges Didi-Huberman, the exhibition "In the troubled air . . ." articulates a political anthropology of emotion in a poetic key, sketching out paths of respiration and resistance that confront the persuasive and allpervading culture of capitalism. The title, taken from Federico García Lorca's Romancero gitano (Gypsy Ballads), appeals to unfettered emotion that is not constrained to a single subject, thus calling Lorca's idea of duende into play. In this way, emotion is here understood as a movement transmitted to the collectivity through a single body and susceptible to development into a "commotion," meaning a concatenation of emotions that affects a set, an environment, a relationship. The starting point of the exhibition lies in the words En el aire conmovido (In the troubled air) from the poem "Romance de la luna, luna" (Ballad of the Moon, Moon, 1924)...

Le musée de Tessé présente l'exposition "Le choix de la peinture, une autre histoire de l?abstraction, 1962-1989" du 10 février au 9 juin 2024.

Ces innovations font suite au triomphe de l'abstraction lyrique et gestuelle qui a caractérisé l'après-guerre et que les peintres cherchent à dépasser. Histoire Les années 1960 cor...
