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 Museum opened its doors in spring 2020. More and more of you are honouring us with a visit. What a joy! Your reactions to our exhibitions and the feedback you give us both encourage and challenge us. Our collection continues to grow: it now comprises over five thousand pieces, created in workshops all over the world by artists with intellectual disabilities. More than ever, we resist the siren call of categorisation – so very much in vogue – which confines the nature and meaning of the works entrusted to us within a convenient, ready-made framework of thought. For nearly seven years now, this has been the clear guiding principle of our museum project and of our commitment, which is inextricably linked to heritage, art and, in the broadest sense of the term, politics. In its modesty and its ambition, the museum is an instrument of civic resistance, whilst, here as elsewhere, at every level, dark and heavy clouds are gathering, threatening the very foundations of living together and of building an open, united and enlightened society. We must stand firm!
