Monts Analogues

Find works by Julien Discrit and Laurent Montaron in Monts Analogues, a group exhibition, which will run from September 16 to December 23, 2021 at the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne.
Curators of the exhibition: Boris Bergmann, author and Marie Griffay, director of FRAC Champagne-Ardenne

The FRAC Champagne-Ardenne inaugurates a large group exhibition dedicated to "Mont Analogue" by the Reims-based author René Daumal. Combining art and literature, this project proposes to celebrate the influence of René Daumal on the artists of his time and today. Daumal's work - and in particular his last book, le Mont Analogue - has inspired cinema and visual arts, photography and dance, literature and poetry.
Conceived as an expedition, the exhibition takes up the major themes of the book: poetic community, collective and universal faith, elevation to an intimate and secret summit. Carried by Daumal's narrative and the intimate readings of the invited artists, the exhibition invites visitors to find within themselves this access to Mount Analogue.

The exhibition brings together several generations of artists, including :
Ellie Antoniou, Béatrice Balcou, Rosa Barba, Hélène Bellenger, Simone Boisecq, Pia Camil, Gaëlle Choisne, Clément Cogitore, Guillaume Constantin, Eric Croes, René Daumal, Simon Demeuter, Quentin Derouet, Kim Détraux, Luc Dietrich, Julien Discrit, Jimmie Durham, Anne Goujaud, Nancy Graves, Raymond Hains, Artur Harfaux, Charles Hascoët, Maurice Henry, Tom Ireland, Florence Jung, Kapwani Kiwanga, Charles Lopez, Marie Lund & Nina Beier, Bibi Manavi, Laurent Montaron, Otobong Nkanga, David Post Kholer, David Renaud, Karine Rougier, Joseph Sima, Patti Smith + Soundwalk Collective, Stéphanie Solinas, Julien Tiberi, Trevor Yeung
