MIAM-Hervé Di Rosa continues its work of exploring art territories that are too often ignored. Who are these painters who had a moment of popular glory before falling into oblivion, these artists of undeniable success, yet relegated to the shadows of history?

BEAUBADUGLY – The Other History of Painting will present the original paintings of these artists on the margins of the common imagination and taste, who sometimes sold thousands of reproductions of their works in supermarkets, and whose posters are familiar to us all.

On the first floor of the museum, Colette Barbier and Nina Childress – associate curators for this part of the exhibition – will offer us conceptual, ironic, playful, admiring and offbeat responses from contemporary artists of different generations and origins.

Le Parvis, which in 50 years has programmed over 300 exhibitions, will be blowing out its candles with a feed-back and forward-looking exhibition entitled Future is now, inviting some 50 artists who exhibited between 1974 and 2024 to return to the site.

Le Parvis is one of the first contemporary art institutions in France, and also one of the most atypical. And it has to be said that the past 5 decades have not diminished the enthusiasm of artists and audiences alike for this intriguing venue, located in a shopping mall and integrated into a national arts scene.

We put our hands in the water is the debut dieDAS art initiative. The exhibition is a cooperative project realized by the academy, curator Daniel Marzona, and the city of Naumburg, and intends to promote and spread the cultural and social values of the academy beyond Saaleck.

We put our hands in the water features work by artists Ulla von Brandenburg and Olaf Holzapfel.

Ulla von Brandenburg’s large-format fabric panels will transform the rooms into vibrant, stage-like settings reminiscent of dreamlike worlds. The artist describes her works as “spatial stagings” that bring together folklore, songs, theater, dance, and architecture to explore both the individual as well as the dynamics and functioning of community and society between chaos and regularity. In this way, von Brandenburg’s pieces formally examine aspects of the theatrical within the visual arts and conjure up delicate moments between utopia and reality, leaving the gap open for new perspectives and the previously unthought-of.
