DON’T CALL IT ART BRUT

Like a K-Way from the 1980s, the ART ET MARGES MUSEUM turns itself inside out to unfold an expanse of colours and shapes that you never knew existed! At the bottom, a warning from Jean Dubuffet, the inventor of Art brut: “You will have to find another designation”. The letter dates from 1984. With this terminological marker in place, Art en marge began its search for art that grows on the edges. Since then, the association has become the ART ET MARGES MUSEUM. How did its collection develop, how have its ambitions evolved, and what about the whole field around it, filled with all the names born of the Dubuffetian ban? Some answers can be found in this exhibition, which will evolve throughout the year.

The ART ET MARGES MUSEUM takes you into its reserves, brings out works that taste had relegated there, serves you its new discoveries on a rotating tray and questions the margin with artists from the contemporary scene who resolutely ask us the question of the limits of Art brut. Oops! Don't call it Art brut, he said!

GALERIE DU BEFFROI NAMUR

For its end-of-year exhibition, the Galerie du Beffroi is hosting a selection of works from the Art et marges museum collection, from November 9 to January 7. These singular creations, conceived by self-taught artists with unique modes of expression and abundant inventiveness, explore various artistic fields: painting, sculpture, assemblage, collage...

"Pas de côté" is an opportunity for the Brussels museum to promote and disseminate Art brut, while reaching out to a public uninitiated to this art form. The exhibition brings together some eighty pieces representative of current Belgian and international outsider art. These works highlight the themes of outsider art, providing both food for thought and pleasure.

BRUT IN THE CITY

V54 HONG KONG

The Art et marges museum collection goes on show in Hong Kong for the first edition of Belgian Days from November 15 to 24, 2023!
The Belgian days are an initiative from the Consulate General of Belgium in Hong Kong, together with a wide network of partner organizations. The purpose of the Belgian Days is to show the continued interest to work together and to create bridges between Belgium and Hong Kong.
The Art et marges museum is collaborating with V54 to present the exhibition “Brut in the City”. Through the presentation of seven artists from our collection, we develop the theme of the city and the wanderers who inhabit it. Wandering artists (Juanma Gonzalez, Mélina Riccio, Jean-Pierre Rostenne), transport artists (Jeroen Hollander, Michaël Mvukani Mpiolani) and urban artists (Eric De Sulauze, Nathalie Moyersoens, Michaël Mvukani Mpiolani): all conjure up the city and the paths that lead to it.

At the same time, Créahmbxl artist Michaël Mvukani Mpiolani will be in residence at the same venue from November 6 to December 5, 2023.

PHOTO | BRUT BXL

PHOTO | BRUT BXL is a project of exhibitions and multidisciplinary events coordinated by the Centre d'Art Brut et Contemporain La « S » Grand Atelier in collaboration with Bruno Decharme, collector and founder of abcd-art brut in Paris, and 4 partner organisations based in Brussels: CENTRALE for contemporary art , Botanique , Art et marges museum and Tiny Gallery .

The ART ET MARGES MUSEUM presents a monographic exhibition of JEAN-MARIE MASSOU (1950-2020). Jean-Marie Massou, a true figure of art brut, dug gigantic chasms and underground galleries for more than three decades with the strength of his arms to create what he called "The Temple". At the same time, he recorded hundreds of messages and premonitory dreams on audio tapes, made hundreds of drawings and collages, carved stones and rocks all around his isolated property in the middle of the forest in the Lot. He called this his "mission". "The universal mission" which aims to "warn humanity that the world is going to its ruin, that it is a matter of protecting those who remain".

Curators: Matthieu Morin (La Belle Brute), Anne-Françoise Rouche (La "S" Grand Atelier) and Tatiana Veress (Art et marges museum).

On the occasion of this exhibition, La " S " Grand Atelier (via its editorial platform Knock Outsider), Art et marges museum and La Belle Brute publish the first monographic book on Jean-Marie Massou.

The museum also presents two collaborative projects resulting from encounters between outsider artists and contemporary artists based on the photographic medium. These projects are directed by Brussels-based photographer Vincen Beeckman:

VINCEN BEECKMAN & LA DEVINIÈRE

Photos, texts, videos, sound recordings, installations... make up this exhibition resulting from the work undertaken a little over eight years ago by photographer Vincen Beeckman in collaboration with the residents of La Devinière.
This project, initiated by La " S " Grand Atelier, takes place in an old farm near Charleroi, La Devinière, a place of institutional psychotherapy, but above all a place of li

PARTENAIRES PARTICULIERS

VINCEN BEECKMAN

Encounters and performative approaches around the photographic medium. For this second exhibition, which he has designed on the ART ET MARGES MUSEUM first floor, Vincen Beeckman has given pride of place to encounters between authors of art brut and contemporary artists. In residence at La "S" Grand Atelier for several years, Vincen Beeckman is the privileged witness of the daily life in the studio but also of the collaborative projects that regularly take place there. Anne-Françoise Rouche has also chosen to show a selection of works from the Blu Cammello workshop in Livorno, where visual artist Riccardo Bargellini is involved in co-creations with his participants. These collaborative practices echo those carried out at La "S" Grand Atelier.

Curators: Vincen Beeckman and Anne-Françoise Rouche (La « S » Grand Atelier)

IN THE LAB SPACE:

EXPERIMENTAL MASSOU BIG BAND

In the LABO space, the result of a workshop bringing together 3rd year illustration students from ESA Saint-Luc Brussels and artists from the Centre Sésame (Day center for mentally handicapped adults, Uccle).

With Jean-Marie Massou's work as a starting point, Nicolas Chuard and Valfret were keen to create a playground conducive to off-the-wall encounters and experimental tinkering. They proposed to the participants to collectively revisit traditional artistic techniques, such as engraving and cast sculpture, with non-academic materials and tools, encouraging them to take side roads. The production was joyful, intense and frenetic.

LE VOYAGE DES MARGES

ESA Saint-Luc Bruxelles - Espace M30

The Art et marges museum puts works from its collection at the disposal of the students' imagination to familiarize them with the scenography and organization that an exhibition implies.

An exhibition created by students of the Master Block 1 in Comics/Publishing as part of the Exhibition Practice course, taught by Maud Salembier.

Espace M30: Place Morichar, 30 - 1060 Brussels
exhibition open from Monday to Friday 9 am - 6 pm

SMILE. I LOVE IT!

ARIANE BERGRICHTER

Here is a world teeming with ballpoint pens and felt tip pens, cafés, people seated at tables, windows with a view on the street, tram stops, passersby and artists, old ladies with small dogs straining at the leash, waiters and workers. “It’s simply crazy the number of tiles I need…” says a roofer amongst the tumult of images of drawings sketched from life in the heart of Brussels at the end of the 1980s, beginning of the 1990s.

“It’s simply amazing …”, the number of sketches, beer coasters, bits of sticky paper, the hours spent observing the world go by in bars and assembling it all together, so that Ariane Bergrichter could turn the complex psyche of her life into a work of art. When she passed away in 1996, there were so many written notes and sketches that bore witness to how difficult her life had been. Her daughter stuffed them all into a suitcase and, some 20 years later, they emerged to reveal this remarkable work.

In 2018, the assembled drawings of Ariane Bergrichter were exhibited for the first time at the American Folk Art Museum in New York. Now, with SMILE. I LOVE IT!, the ART ET MARGES MUSEUM is exhibiting the first monographic exhibition of this artist’s work.

HIGH VOLTAGE

Any attempt to resist will be useless: the force of attraction produced by the works of HIGH VOLTAGE will lead you directly to the heart of the gesture.
At the intersections of the lines and wires, don't trust the fragility of the materials used, but expect intense discharges that will increase your springtime impulses.

With works by: Franco Bellucci, Heide De Bruyne, Eric Derochette, Cecile Franceus and Pol Jean.

ON THE 1ST FLOOR: THE PERMANENT COLLECTION

With ensembles of works that allow visitors to immerse themselves in the universe of each artist. New acquisitions will be presented and homage will be paid to artists who have recently left us, including an immersive space dedicated to Serge Delaunay.

But also: Diyana Afsar, Aimé Bahati, Eric De Sulauze, Véronique Declercq, Daniel Gonçalves, Francis Marshall, Raphaël Michel and Jacques Trovic.

TWO IMMERSIVE INSTALLATIONS CREATED IN SITU

From 06.13, the artists Hendrik Heffinck (Atelier De Zandberg) and Willy Desmedt (Créahmbxl) each take over a space in the museum to invade it with their art. Inauguration on 06.22.

FRESCO ON THE SIDEWALK

Realized by Benjamin Hendlisz and Jeroen Hollander (artist of our collection) a fresco makes overflow the spirit of the ART ET MARGES MUSEUM on the rue Haute. Inauguration on 22.06.
Fresco realized thanks to SIGMA and the support of the Parlement de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles and the city of Brussels.

Within the folds of time

Enjoy a contemplative experience that is beyond time! The defiance displayed by the exhibition Dans un pli du temps (Within a Fold of Time) invites visitors to reassess the slow movement of time. Discover works of art created with infinite patience that evolve throughout the exhibition or summon other temporalities.

The Art et marges museum offers you a port of call outside the requirements of instantaneity and contemporary profitability. Plunge deep into the meditation of these works of art that turn sensorial and temporal perceptions upside down, inviting you to feel differently.

From the seventh of October, two thousand and twenty-one to the thirteenth of March, two thousand and twenty-two, immerse yourself totally in forgetting space-time!

With works by Acharya Vyakul, Aline Forçain, André Gorgan, André Prues, Anonyme, Ardian Ramadonovic, Augustin Lesage, Cécile Todoroff, Clémence Estingoy, Daniel Timson, Didier Goetghebuer, Eric Heyters, Fanny Viollet, Françoise Maes, Franklin, Georges Widener, Jean Hendrickx, Johan Geenens, John Ryan Brubaker, Joseph Crépin Fleury, Juliette Brishoual, Juliette Zanon, Kunizo Matsumoto, Lien Anckaert, Lionel Vinche, Manon Salle, Maxence Doucet, Melvin Way, Olivier Pestiaux, Ophélie Pruvost, Pascale Deneyer, Patrick De Wit, Raphaël Lonné, Rudy Morren, Sarah Kokot, Serge Paillard, Suzanne De Slaeve, Sybille Deligne and Wolfgang Marx.

LOVE SONG

The Art et marges museum honours outsider sound creation. Less known by public than pictorial productions, raw music is no less abundant, it touches on all styles and has managed to remain almost beyond the reach of allegedly good taste. It is through the falsely naïve medium of the love song that we invite you to dive into the singular universe of these musicians with a big heart. What could be better than love, tragic and magical, heartbreaking but happily exciting, to give voice to? Recordings, texts, album covers... give us a close-up view of what has long remained underground music.

With works by: Julien Brien, Monique Capart, Ali Demailly, Elayne Goodman, Daniel Johnston, Normand L’Amour, Jean-Luc Le Ténia, Reynols, Pascal Roussel, Maitre Selecto, Philippe Sylvanis, Petr Válek, Chuckie Williams.

The exhibition closes with Routourne, a combination of wild lutherie and electric fiddling, this explosive creation is based on an oversized hurdy-gurdy. Its resonant body is crossed by three wheels to be operated with three cranks, percussive modules and microphones for singing...

EMBRASEZ-VOUS !

The Art et marges museum is celebrating turning 10 – sterling opportunity to present its collection in a new light. Amassed along the rock loads and less travelled paths of art, the collection is now teaming with gems of outsider art. The museum has opened its doors to ten accomplices – artists. Fascinated by artists from the collection, they have taken over the premises. They are hell bent on bedazzling through installations, performances, sound, literary and culinary creations. Incandescent, luminous and mysterious embers, each point of view sheds new light on the collection, opening a door onto conflagration. The result is a flamboyant cake to be shared and devoured with abandon.

America does not exist !

(I know because I've already been there)

Inspired by a Henry Miller quote and a retort by Alain Resnais

"America does not exist. I know, I've already been there" raises the question of the place of the United States in the world and more specifically in our collective psyche. This double exhibition/publication project intends to present the United States of America through the glare of a distorting mirror: the American dream. Mathieu Morin, curator of the exhibition and author of the publication, invites you to discover some one hundred works of outsider, popular and contemporary art from the world over. Get in for a roadtrip intra muros.

Lisières

We live in an era of edges. Between animal and human, tree and river, feather and skin, concrete and green, how can we find our way through? How will we confront the future, when fragile environments are collapsing? With patient actions, wild stories, surprising shares? Find the answers with the artists of the Art et marges museum, who will spread out the collection of their works on occasion of a picnic in the summer clearing.

The “picnic of works” is organised by Caroline Lamarche, author, (“Nous sommes à la lisière”, Gallimard, Goncourt's prize for short story 2019), curator on this occasion.

Rencontres intergalactiques

Serge Delaunay and André Robillard

Although his rifles catch everyone's attention, André Robillard turns to the theme of space exploration to fuel his creativity as well. Keen interest in the cosmos and space vessels are self-evident echoes in the works of André Robbilard and Serge Delaunay on show in this exhibition.

Women in Art Brut ?

Big names in Outsider Art as well as more confidential works are a matter of an eye – the eye of a woman, the Viennese collector Hannah Rieger, who invites us to experience “Outsider Art” her way.

Works by and portraits of women alternate in this exhibition that features 105 works by Austrian and International artists.

Supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum Brussels and the Austrian Federal Chancellery in the framework of the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Jean-Pierre Rostenne

"Everything is fine except everything that's going wrong"

...was the motto of Jean-Pierre Rostenne, atypical artist, poetic thinker and an essential character in a Brussels neighbourhood true to his image, the Marolles. The Art et Marges museum plays hommage to him in a room that showcases his totem canes, assemblages, photographs and reworked objects. To complete the portrait, his friends, who have lent works for the show, talk about him in sound recordings that can be listened to at the exhibition.
