Descripción de la Exposición

In 2012, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain presented Histoires de voir, Show and Tell, an exhibition that brought together a wide spectrum of artistic works from all over the world (Brazil, Japan, Europe, Haïti, India, Mexico), ranging from naïve and self-taught art to the art of indigenous cultures. Via a scenography designed by Alessandro Mendini, these works express the deeply personal visions of their creators and are inextricably linked to their times and to their specific geographical regions, revealing, each in their own way, an intricate cosmos of history, mythology, folklore, and magic. Designed as an extension of the exhibition, the catalog is also thought as a series of stories about the artists and their works but also some of their communities. With over 300 images of sculptures, paintings, and drawings on display, an important visual documentation, and essays by specialists, it provides a unique opportunity to learn about the contexts in which these artists work were created. Complementary, Laymert Garcia dos Santos and Sally Price provide a critical look at the exhibition. The exhibition Histoires de voir: Show and Tell presents the works and narratives of over 40 painters, sculptors and filmmakers from around the world. They are Brazilian, Indian, Congolese, as well as Haitian, Mexican, Danish, Japanese and American. They hail from the urban centers of Paris and Port-au-Prince, or the rural communities of the Amazon and Madya Pradesh. They emerged as artists and developed their talents in uncommon circumstances; they have often been considered as naïve artists and have rarely been invited to exhibit their works in contemporary art institutions.
