Whoever says “another collection”, the name of the new exhibition visible at the Drusenheim Cultural Center until February 13, calls for a “first”. In this case, the one exhibited in the Paso museum and which follows the “exceptional donation” of the local child, Paul Klein, made in 2012 and concerning 400 works on canvas and 300 on paper and increased since.
Over the years since the opening of the Center in 2013, artists have often offered the Commune a trace of their exhibitions, with one or more works. These are all of these, more than a hundred or at least the essentials, that Germain Roesz, curator of the exhibition, presents to the public. “The collision was more difficult than usual,” he says. It was indeed necessary to reconcile the space available between the Paso museum, essentially the Espace Paso, the hall and even the first floor, the diversity of sizes and the artistic sensibilities of the creators.
Major movements in contemporary art
Along the aisles, we discover, offered as part of the twinning with Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, a painting by Sanfourche dating from 1995. Further on, it is a work by Kiddy Citny, the first artist to paint on the Berlin Wall at the risk of his life, and who created a diptych on the stage of the Cultural Center itself. On a concentrated surface, the collection is enriched with 21 works from the Franco-German group of Plakat Wand Kunst in the format of 36 x 26 cm with proximity to the major movements of contemporary art. This art is represented with works by Christiane Bricka, Camille Claus, Catherine Gangloff, Zuzana Jaczova, Bernard Latuner, Germain Roesz of course, Jacques Thomann, Raymond E. Waydelich…
This is all that Mayor Jacky Keller, first of all, and Germain Roesz in particular, shared during the opening on Sunday, December 18.
“L’Autre collection”, at the Cultural Center from Tuesday January 6 to Friday February 13 during the opening hours of the place, as well as on Sunday January 18 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the presence of Germain Roesz. Free entry.
