The intense fascination for the future revealed by certain past works is reciprocated by the equally intense appeal that these past works have for contemporary artists,notably through the historical form of modernism.

The exhibition takes a transversal approach, intersecting different aesthetic and temporal veins. A selection of work from contemporary artists will be grouped with older work and documents – each giving perspective to the others.

The dynamic explored here rests on a continual shifting back and forth between the past and the future, veritable time travels through creation. These shifts in time, which are brought up to our progressive present by bringing together the cultural output of different eras, are nonetheless defined by a sensibility, an aesthetic and shared interests.
