From the press release: "[It is] a very physical exhibition, focusing on our experience of being there, and being with the paintings...They create and generate confrontations and connections...These are works that shout at us. They challenge us, but they also caress us. They look back at us, and throw us off balance. The motto of the exhibition is borrowed from the American filmmaker John Waters, known for his more than usually experimental style. Out of all the possible candidates, he is the one who defines the task of art as being: to confuse us in a beautiful way." The exhibition opens on November 2 and will be on view through November 25.
