Art Brut 1/5 - Unfiltered

Carol Bailly is a figure of Swiss Romandy Art Brut, known for her color‑saturated drawings of ladies with eccentric hairstyles. Pierre Aebischer has used his pens for 25 years for a monumental work, before working on his hypnagogic black‑and‑white drawings. Both artists live in the canton of Fribourg and open the doors to their respective creative universes.

Vacarme: Art Brut 2/5 - Prized Collection

Vacarme: Art Brut 2/5 - Prized Collection

Long ignored, Art Brut is today the object of desire and is generating increasing enthusiasm. Balthazar Lovay is a gallerist in Geneva and represents the Art Brut author Pascal Vonlanthen. Bruno Decharme is one of the world's greatest collectors of Art Brut and has just donated nearly 1,000 works to the Centre Pompidou. But isn’t there a paradox in commercializing an art that is conceived so far from the markets?

Art Brut 3/5 - The ear set free

Art Brut is not limited to visual works. At the Collection of Art Brut in Lausanne, Vincent Monod, archivist, is passionate about an unknown facet of this free expression: music. Louis Billette is a saxophonist. He uses music as a mediation tool: thanks to his improvisation skills, he accompanies his brother Romain, a rapper and poet suffering from schizophrenia.

Noise: Art Brut 4/5 - Extraordinary Treasure

The Collection of Art Brut, Lausanne, brings together hundreds of works by outsiders and authors on the margins of society. Singular, sublime or frightening works of art that are not intended to be exhibited. In the museum’s storerooms, Lucile takes care of the conservation of these pieces, which is a puzzle: how to preserve works created with fleeting materials? Should we preserve what was not intended to be preserved?
