For its autumn exhibition, the BPS22 welcomes the artists of La “S” Grand Atelier, centre d’art brut & contemporain [centre for outsider and contemporary art]
\nlocated in Vielsalm, in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes. Thanks to its geographical location \u2013 outside the typical art circuits \u2013 and its need for a direct and continuous connection with its studios (drawing, painting, textiles, printmaking, graphic storytelling, ceramics, digital work, music, dance), La “S” swiftly began developing groundbreaking co-creation residency projects. In doing so, La “S” Grand Atelier has established itself over the past thirty years under the direction of Anne-Fran\u00e7oise Rouche as a pioneering example of sharing and the artists reflect on the forest region surrounding interweaving; a place where talents can flourish freely, where the usual “disabled vs non-disabled” categories no longer apply, and where barriers between different art works are dismantled. In line with this decentring approach, BPS22 \u2013 whose collections already include works of so-called Art Brut, outsider, singular, or marginal art \u2013 reaffirms its commitment to both social and artistic histories, as well as to the aesthetic, sociological, and institutional upheavals that have shaped the culture of the 20th and 21st centuries.<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[6,32],"class_list":["post-2433","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry","category-art-contemporain","category-exposition"],"acf":{"image_dapercu":2832,"img_a_la_une":2832,"client":[116],"date_cpi":"20250926","date_debut":"20250927","date_fin":"20260104","event_localite_liaison":[1190],"active":true,"active_pressroom":false,"active_agenda":true,"dossier_presse_fr":2836,"dossier_presse_nl":2837,"dossier_presse_en":2844,"fichiers_supp":null,"images_gallerie":[2832,2834,2830,2831,2833,2829,2835,2445,2443,2441,2444,2437,2447,2438,2442,2439,2440,2448,2446]},"yoast_head":"
