Following the two group exhibitions “Noires et Rouges” that took place in 2019 at the Cervantes Institute in Paris and at Syndicat Potentiel in Strasbourg, we propose two new exhibitions entitled “Black & Red”: one at AQB – Cellar in Budapest (Hungary) and the other at Syndicat Potentiel in Strasbourg (France); each one is adapted to the place and produced with the support of ADAGP. We would like to update the scope of the reflections that took shape during the period of the Spanish Civil War that heralded the World War ii; inventive mixtures of life and art, realized utopias and ideologies in combat. At the gates of the European Union, which has already been eroded by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine brings to mind images of the destruction of European cities during the Second World War and the columns of thousands of refugees fleeing the murderous bombardments. It is in the context of this European drama that we are launching a new cycle of exhibitions on the question of democracy and anti-fascism today, of the ideological, social and artistic values at stake, in view of the tensions in Europe between 2000 and 2030. As at the time of the Retirada (Spanish Civil War refugees exodus), the fight against fascism, the issue of immigration and the welcoming of refugees in Europe are at the heart of current events. The artists in the exhibition “Black & Red” offer a view on the present situation. → more
