Bodies face to face and necessarily naked.
Next Thursday, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Lyon Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC de Lyon) and the French Federation of Naturism Rhône-Alpes will organize a visit to the simplest apparatus of the exhibition, Incarnations, the body in
the collection of the contemporary art museum of Lyon
.
After a first attempt at La Sucrière in March 2022, the MAC decided to call the federation to organize this event.
"
Our idea is to question the question of the body in space to see how a body interacts with other bodies
", explains the museum which currently offers three exhibitions around this theme.
The first brings together some sixty works, paintings, sculptures, videos, from the collections of the MAC in Lyon around the theme of the body and which it is used by artists to create.
The second,
The skin is a thin envelope
, exhibits the work of Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg and their stop motion films in a scenography of vegetable soup which serves as a projection base for the images and which questions the impulses of human beings. .
Finally the third,
INTERFEARS
by the Danish artist Jesper Just, explores through a ten-minute film the emotions and reality of a man present in an MRI.
Urban naturism
An appropriate program according to Frédéric Martin, president of the regional naturist federation: “
It's interesting to experience a totally naked exhibition.
This sends us back to our own perception of ourselves, without social artifice.
All the people present at La Sucrière
were amazed by the difference between visiting the exhibition dressed or naked
”.
Thus for the second time in Lyon, naturism, rather accustomed to beaches and forests, will become urban this Thursday.
“
It is true that in naturism there is the notion of nature, but it is above all the acceptance of the body and of oneself in the environment.
Until now we have remained behind our high walls so as not to panic good society. But finally we come out of our ramparts to say that the philosophy we carry is very good”
, concludes Fréderic Martin.
Already more than 200 people are expected at the museum this Thursday evening.
