Maison Particulière, Brussel "Inner Journeys"
From April 18 through June 30, 2013

Inner Journeys is the seventh exhibit and well-timed celebration of Maison Particulière’s second anniversary. Inner Journeys bears witness to the very passion expressed through the eyes of the art collectors.

on show: Automata, Landscape II, Veneer IV Object

Each and every one of them has embraced Inner Journeys in their own way, thus lending a depiction of their own dreams and voyages, both literally and figuratively. Every journey captures an experience, and the collections often portray
multiple voyages.

Travel, wander, roam, discover, and explore... When contemplating a work of art, art lovers go well beyond the mere act of accumulating, assembling, or even, maybe, creating a collection: indeed, they are also casting a look within themselves. Because there are as many collectors as there are ways to collect, and as many works of art as there are reasons to love, disturb, touch, upset or question, the current exhibit depicts various expressions of intimacy, dreams, evocations, and introspection. No room for judgment, for generally accepted ideas, for the official line or biases: quite the contrary, this exhibit praises the freedom of vision, emotions, and sensibilities.

Inner Journeys more than any other theme, may provide the clearest definition of our vision, here at Maison Particulière: to travel through art, to travel through and within the various means of collecting, to travel hand in hand with variety and diversity. This exhibit pays homage to the collectors, to their convictions, and to their sense of sharing. All of the works of art selected by our guests for Inner Journeys are a manifestation of their choices, passions, personal fantasies, and free association of ideas. And, for the first time at Maison Particulière, every one of our guest collectors will be offered a room dedicated solely to their works, which they can arrange as they please. Our hope and reasoning was to imbue each and every one of us with the “carte blanche” that is found in every dimension of Inner Journeys so as to highlight the intimacy and closeness the collectors share with their works. The balance of the works on display at Maison Particulière will pay little heed to the ownership of the collections, but merely play on the various notions of “journey”. All of the works by our guest artist, Cris Brodahl, will serve as the guiding principle and common thread that bind together the composition of the exhibit.
