ABOUT

In 1924, André Breton wrote in his Manifesto of Surrealism: "To live and to cease living are imaginary solutions. Existence lies elsewhere." The Dina Vierny Gallery has decided to bring together, under this enigmatic phrase, a collection of artworks created by artists who celebrate the passage of time, the depth of human emotion, and the resonances of existentialism. Through various processes, they give rise to a new meaning, that of pure thought. They illuminate us with a "particular light, the light of the image," giving prominence to the unfolding of being and the poetry of the unspeakable, while exploring the mysteries of the human condition in the mist. The artists gathered for this unexpected summer exhibition are Erik Bulatov, Robert Couturier, Salvador Dalí, Michel Haas, Julien Heintz, Ilya Kabakov, On Kawara, Ra'anan Levy, Zoran Mušic, Judit Reigl, and Vladimir Yankilevsky.
