Voies d’évasion
The Villa du Parc contemporary art center, based in Annemasse (FRA), presents fifteen artists in a manifest exhibition entitled Voies d’évasion.
“Voies d’évasion has a dual ambition: to give a spotlight to artists to promote their careers and encourage reflection about the reality and challenges of trajectories in the artistic field. What does it represent being an artist today, and what is the personal and social path to becoming one? How do you build a career based on training courses that unlock the doors to the professionally demanding creativity that goes beyond the traditional track? What happens during training so that needs, desires and intuitions become practices that can be exhibited, shared and made sense in today’s society? The works in the exhibition evoke the transition from childhood to adulthood, the situations and emotions felt during this period that evolve into practices; readings, encounters and complicities that help us to adopt a critical look at the world.” (Garance Chabert, 2024; translated by Tanguy Benoit)
