Opening: "Inner Mornings, or Forms of Counterculture"

Exhibition opening

About the exhibition: How can the evolution of contemporary art serve as a lens through which to understand the history of counterculture – a phenomenon that continues to influence artistic approaches today? This question serves as a guiding force behind the exhibition Inner Mornings, or Forms of Counterculture.

Through the interplay of three major collections – the Falckenberg Collection and the collections of the FRAC Pays de la Loire and the Musée d’arts de Nantes – the exhibition makes visible the ways in which artists develop resistant aesthetic strategies, open up alternative spaces, and blur the line between the mainstream and the margins of society.
The result is a fascinating dialogue that shows how counterculture is collected, conveyed, and understood in different contexts. What emerges is a multifaceted picture of art as a means of questioning social realities and opening up new perspectives.
