Transmergence is a new exhibition format from FRAC Alsace, that wants to make visible the
regional and cross-border artistic scene while questioning its definition and its boundaries.
The Transmergence # 01 exhibition brings together five complementary artistic positions which explore the concept of the Earth as a complex system and as matter having taken shape. Motivated by biographical or geographical approaches, and starting from the raw material, the artists address the subject in a conceptual, formal and intuitive way. The works question, investigate and transform matter. Stone, salt, paper, saffron, lotus pollen, chlorophyll, light and water, through the artistic gesture, reach a surprising morphology, a new plastic and visual materiality, a unique form and proposal. Seemingly simple things emerge from the recordings and complex dialogues.
