SERIE «HORS CADRE», épisode 11 | Chaque mois, l’artiste peintre Vinciane Vuilleumier explore la thématique de notre rapport aux images et aux espaces de l’art.

Adieu, pédanterie et institutionnalisme des musées. Bienvenue dans une folle série qui donne un autre sens au titre de votre magazine, Le Regard Libre.

Van Gogh is one of those artists whose work and life fascinate all audiences. Unknown during his lifetime, his success was dazzling after his death, and his genius was widely recognized, establishing him as one of the greatest artists of all time. Today, it's the turn of immersive multimedia exhibitions to use the work and myth of the cursed artist to sell us sensationalism: welcome to experience marketing.
Vinciane Vuilleumier explores the theme of our relationship with images and art spaces. What happens to us when we encounter an aesthetic object? How do we understand this relationship, which has all the makings of a secret idyll when it's sincere? Goodbye, pedantry and museum institutionalism. Welcome to a crazy series that gives new meaning to the title of your magazine, Le Regard Libre.
From September 20 to 26, the world's largest and most prestigious contemporary art fair, Art Basel, was held, the international meeting place for the art world and collectors. Millions were made, as usual, but with little artistic renewal. The major galleries wisely sat on their leading artists, taking no risks for this edition. So what's the point of spending just under a hundred francs if you're just an art lover? To be surprised. Because yes, even if Art Basel didn't transcend the art world this year, we did see an interesting trend towards... figuration.
