THE IDEAL MUSEUM

The Ideal Museum is a piece created throughout 2019 by one of the leading artists of the Créahm workshops, Alain Meert, in preparation for the opening of the Trinkhall. The artist answered our question - What is a museum? - with a galleon in full sail, which casually displays drawings, paintings and sculptures. It is a scene of paper, cardboard, objects, multiple unusual and familiar presences, lodged precisely between states of consciousness. The whole world that fits into a boat: Alain Meert's ark. And it is a museum, just as we want it to be, dreamily navigating among ideas, shapes and emotions. Ship Lieutenant Alain Meert is a pirate. So, let’s all climb aboard with a heave ho!

Le monde est louche...

Le monde est louche...

What is light? Whiteness? Obviousness? Happiness? Who or what are we indebted to? Where do we stand on beauty? Silence? Delicacy? Is there a point of balance or calm? Are restraint and generosity compatible? Where do we stand on memory and oblivion? Where do we stand on guilt? What is the accuracy of shapes, materials, volumes? What is a museum for? Where do we stand on concealment, the lie or the truth? What is innocence? And what does “ The Childhood of Art” mean? Where do we stand with history, reality and its absence? What is the state of our emotions? What is a museum for?
July is sprawling out over an uncertain future. Sometimes the sky is blue, sometimes there's rain. Despite the downpour of storms, the museum is a bright clearing where you can experience the promises of existence, thanks to the exhibition, "À l’œuvre." You are welcome to visit all through the summer, Tuesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
