Meeting with Michel Nedjar
at the Denys Puech Musuem
As part of the exhibition Daniel Cordier, L’œil du collectionneur proposed by the Denys Puech museum in Rodez from 8 May 2015 to 24 January 2016, a meeting is organized with Michel Nedjar on Thursday 5 November at 6.30 pm.
He is the most widely exhibited and published living art brut artist, yet the extraordinary trajectory of this Frenchman raises a question that is rarely addressed: that of the impermanence of art brut. Discovered by Jean Dubuffet at a time when he was working on the resurgence of the symbolic body, he allowed himself to become the protean artist we know and who, in his creation, embodies absolute freedom. His work can be found in countless collections, and he was the first artist brut to enter the collections of the Musée national d’art moderne (Pompidou). Exhibited at the Monnaie de Paris, the Albertina Museum and the Mona, Michel Nedjar has been the subject of nine monographic exhibitions.
