Dialogue avec la collection Albers-Honegger

For this new cycle of rereading, the eac. invites seven international artists from the residency programmes of the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation to enter into dialogue with works from the Albers-Honegger collection.

The selected artists are invited to immerse themselves in the collection by choosing around ten works with which they feel a sense of “resonance”. These choices are enriched by their own works, so that a dialogue can emerge beyond techniques, media and the barriers of time and space.

This exhibition is the result of a new partnership between the eac. and the residency programme of the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation.

The main missions of the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation are to preserve and promote the work of Josef and Anni Albers, and to support contemporary creation through its residency programmes in the United States, Ireland and Senegal.

In this context, the exhibition highlights contemporary artistic practices nourished by the modernist legacy, while revealing the diversity of today’s perspectives on colour, form, perception and creative processes.

Each artist develops a singular approach, building a sensitive journey in which the historical works of the Albers-Honegger collection become points of anchorage, friction or inspiration. The exhibition thus invites visitors to move between the works, where references, formal correspondences and personal intuitions intersect. By fostering these connections, the eac. continues its reflection on activating the Albers-Honegger collection and its capacity to generate new narratives and new readings in the light of contemporary creation.
