The CAPC musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux presents an important installment of its Collection throughout the second floor galleries. This show brings back to the patrimonial building of the museum many of the works that left a mark in its history. The visitors will discover a vast selection of works by more than 40 artists, ranging from the 1960s to nowadays.

The exhibition is punctuated by four clusters focused on Chohreh Feyzdjou (1955-1996), Simon Hantaï (1922-2008), Présence Panchounette (artist collective, active from 1969 to 1990) and Philippe Thomas (1952-1995). These small exhibitions, embedded within the larger exhibit, highlight symbolic and formal operations employed by these artists and signal the ways in which their approaches reflect and resonate with other artworks included in the exhibition.
