Hn Introductory method: “cold case”. Echoing these unsolved criminal cases, CAPC is launching a new series of projects focused on this business that never leaves reserves. Installed in the entrance hall of the Lainé warehouse, the investigation focuses on a symbolic and monumental oil painting by Arsen Savadov, a Ukrainian photographer and painter. Produced in 1987, acquired in 1991, the painting is surrounded by many gray areas that this first meeting is trying to clear up.
To discover until September 3 CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art.

The current echo (caused by the Russian forces’ invasion of Ukraine) continues in the exhibition, which takes place in the galleries on the ground floor. Baptized “Antéfutur”, the latter plunges into the present.
The cycle of pandemic, global warming, giant fires, wars, social strife, the race on artificial intelligence, and energy and economic crises continue to embody an ever darker stock reminding us that the worst never disappoints. This relentless stockpile fuels the business with its troubling, satirical, humorous, melancholic roles, and hopefuls or bearers of hope for the twenty-five anthology artists.
Watch: videographer Lola González (teacher at the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux) with her film “Tonnerres” that takes place in the Roya Valley, which was devastated by Storm Alex in October 2020; Bérénice Olmedo who customizes and animates this small, moving leg prosthesis for children collected from a Mexico City garbage dump. Elsewhere, with the German Agnes Scherer and her composition are like satirical operettas that crush the romantic visions of the artist; With Yuyan Wang looking at the satisfying videos (types of invitations to relax and appease) that are circulating on social networks. Again with the Portuguese Pedro Neves Marques and the interactions he initiated between a robot and a sentient, this strange plant whose leaves retract when touched.
Jean Saber’s work
On the second floor of the museum, the retrospective exhibition dedicated to the unclassifiable Bordeaux artist Jean Saber (1951-2020) invites us to (re)discover the polymorphic work of this self-taught artist, master of distinguished professions and perfectionist. Through science, poetry, humor, refinement, visual games, and the figures of Paolo Uccello (the great Renaissance painter fascinated by the laws of perspective) and Marcel Duchamp. Essential: his bizarre mazzocchio-machinery of ice (the Florentine headdress often painted by Uccello) undergoes sublimation (direct passage from a solid to a gaseous state).

Finally, on the same floor, “Systemic Love” focuses on the idea of the network revealing its different interpretations through works from the collection.
