The 2015 Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard Prize opens up areas of research which, at first sight, seem well-removed from one another, but turn out to be informed by unusual systems of liaisons.
An experimental collaboration between the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard and the Visual Arts Master of ECAL / Ecole Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne.
With this show, the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard is offering a contemporary look at the Portuguese art scene.
Exhibition curated with Bertrand Schefer.

» A press release usually greets the viewer with the wrong hand. By immediately setting the exhibition in an artificial landscape of references, concepts and analysis, it awkwardly takes its distance from it.

The « non human » instantly conjures up anything and everything that seems to contradict or destroy the idea of human, it brings forth images of robots, bionic prostheses, extra-terrestrials, every manner of chimaera, but also monsters that are too human, which humanity seems to produce so naturally.
