“Matter, materials, the immaterial: dematerialisation is the common theme in La couleur crue. Here, the matter of colour takes form in a variety of media, such as painting, sculpture, objects, text, sound, installations, but also in video and in material and personified works, whether immaterial or conceptual, immersive or head-on”, explain the three organisers of the exhibition: Jean-Roch Bouiller, director of the Musée des Beaux-arts, Sophie Kaplan, director of La Criée centre for contemporary art and Anne Langlois, artistic director and head of exhibitions at 40mcube. Together, these three Rennes-based associations created La couleur crue through an approach that is sensitive to the matter of the works and the experience of visitors looking at them.
