Chromatopia, by Jean-Maxime Dufresne and Virginie Laganière

Opening Thursday March 13th 2025, 6 pm – Guido Molinari Foundation

Discover the results of the research-creation residency of Jean-Maxime Dufresne and Virginie Laganière as part of this new exhibition presented from March 13th to May 25th, 2025.

Drawing on Guido Molinari’s artistic production that favours geometric abstraction and chromatic vibration, Chromatopia unfolds an investigation into the polysemy of colour. For this new research project, founded on the conviction that knowledge emerges from contact with plural realities, the exploration of Molinari’s work and archives acted as an incubator to create a laboratory of ideas on chromatic perception. Faced with the ambivalence of colours and the difficulty of assigning them a precise meaning, the artists examine their psychic, cultural, neurological, social, biological and political dimensions, through the prism of artistic creation and disciplinary transversality. In a processual approach, this exhibition rallies conceptual thinking, documentary experimentation, scientific contributions and speculative imaginations. By bringing together installation, photography, video and sound, attention is paid to visibility and chromatic dissonance within our material culture and our urban, natural and technological environments.
