Jeudis Arty
The gallery is participating in the next edition of the “Jeudis Arty”, Thursday, June 2, from 6 to 10 pm.
A visit of the exhibition melvin way: a vortex symphony is proposed to the visitors.
In addition to guided tours (registration on their website), the “Thursdays Arty” offers the reading of a webzine which publishes an interview with Christian Berst in its latest issue.
Les “Jeudis Arty” offers visitors the opportunity to discover the art galleries of the Marais, thanks to exceptional night-time performances, vernissages and encounters with artists.
Discovered in the early 1980s at a homeless center in New York City, Melvin Way is now a key figure in contemporary art brut. Having interrupted his scientific studies because of his schizophrenia, he relentlessly covers fragments of papers of mathematical and chemical formulas, sibylline sketches… These dense talismanic notes, which he treasures in his pockets, exhale a rare magnetism. The 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Critics, Jerry Saltz, considers him “a mystic visionary genius, one of the greatest living American artists.” The artist’s works are now in the collections of the MoMA (New York) and the Smithsonian (Washington).
