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!

The Trinkhall Workshop

The Trinkhall Workshop

For a few weeks now at the Trinkhall, we have been etching using the intaglio technique. We have started operating an old printing press that was no longer in use with a roller, paper, tray, supports, cutters, sharp points, gravers and buffers, inks, brass, razor edges and levers; all the kit necessary for making the prints and drawings that will soon be down on paper. As we etch, we do so at a steady pace -  offbeat, backwards – in the quiet and peaceful workshop. Sometimes, it feels like the first emotion of our hands blowing in the caves of Pech-Merle or Gargas and that all our strokes are going back to our history lessons. Etching is an epiphany. Bernard Fournier (nicknamed Berga), one of the most talented activity leaders of the Créahm, guides the three workshop artists, Alain Meert, Samuel Cariaux and Aymeric Dodeigne. What a pleasure!
