Hangar Y
Hangar Y's inaugural exhibition, Dans l'air, les machines volantes, is organized by Art Explora, invited by Hangar Y as part of its sponsorship program. It pays tribute to Hangar Y's primary function, offering a rich exploration of the history of flying machines.
Taking as her starting point the universal fascination of human beings with flight, and the many inventions that have made it possible, throughout the 20th century, to aspire to this goal, exhibition curator Marie-Laure Bernadac, in collaboration with Blanche de Lestrange, Artistic Director ofArt Explora, has focused on the ways in which these devices for elevation and transport in the air, and their transformations over time, have inspired artists.
While the beginnings of these innovations can be found as early as the Renaissance in Leonardo da Vinci's sketches, the advent of the first flying machines in the 19th century inspired the artistic avant-garde of the early 20th century, as well as many contemporary and art brut artists.
The exhibition brings together over sixty works covering a variety of currents over much of the twentieth century.
